Julie Hustwayte is a Chartered Physiotherapist and Licensed Acupunturist with 25 years experience. I have a Masters degree in Pain Management. Following a career in the NHS as a Clinical Specialist in cancer and paliative care I have run my own private practise specialising in musculosketal conditions and pain management for the last 10 years. I have practised yoga for 20 years and know that it has helped me stay physically and mentally strong.
I am particularly interested in the benefits of yoga breathing practises and focus techniques. I have found that when used regularly by patients they provide an effective Pain Management tool, enabling them to improve both their daily performance and control their pain.
I use Yoga Sport Science® techniques routinely with athletes/patients from a range of sports and of all ages. I combine these techniques with my medical skills to provide a comprehensive assessment and treatment programme to rehabilitate them back to full fitness. It provides a means of preventing further injury, ensuring that patients/athletes can continue with their chosen sport safely.
