Physiotherapy and Chronic Pain Management with a difference.
GK Connect values holistic care. The body is an amazing interconnected system that needs to be listened to and understood. When our muscles, joints, fascia, nervous system, and mind are working in harmony, we feel good, and we can continue doing the things we love. Injury, overload, and stress can cause a disconnect and this is when pain and dysfunction can appear. GK Connect: Physiotherapy and Chronic Pain Management is about reconnecting. Together, we will explore where the communication has broken down and create a treatment plan that supports your body and your mind to strengthen your connection to better health.
Gina’s Story:
As a child, Gina had a number of injuries. With this came pain, a loss of capacity to fully participate and a growing doubt in her body’s ability to recover. But she was lucky. She was supported by insightful practitioners who were not only kind but also skilled. They rehabilitated her from her injuries, helped her recover and showed her the power of connection. She knew then that she wanted to provide the same life-affirming care that those practitioners had showed her.
In her more than 10 years of physio practice, her approach has evolved, as she’s come to practice ConnectTherapy™ – a whole body approach to physiotherapy. Intrigued by the body/mind connection she’s continued to study, undertaking a Master in Pain Management and a Master in Trauma-Informed Psychotherapy as well as numerous short courses. She’s also worked with a number of different practitioners in a range of settings, from some of Sydney’s leading manual therapy practices to specialist chronic pain clinics. Taking from all her experiences she wanted to create an integrative and holistic service.
So welcome to GK Connect. It is Gina’s commitment to you, to see you, listen to you, assess and examine you. She will use her expertise, skill and reflective insights to care for your body and mind. She strongly believes that physiotherapy needs to be about far more than relieving pain and dysfunction. Now is the time to explore the bodymind connection with empathy and understanding to find the root cause of what is troubling you and work with you to free you up for the long term.
