ABOUT ME
Hello and welcome to Trayah - MLD, Lymphoedema & Physical Therapy (Remedial)
My name is Jo and I am the mind, body and soul behind the Trayah name both in the UK and previously Australia.
I am a fully qualified Certified Decongestive Lymphoedema Therapist (DLT) specialising in, and with a passion for, full Lymphoedema and Lipoedema Management. I am a current member and Committee Member of MLD UK (NHS, Surgeons and GPs refer to me), British Lymphology Society and Lymphoedema Support Network. I am trained and supported by Lymphoedema Wales (NHS) through Swansea Bay Health Board University. I am also proud to be a referral partner with Worcestershire Breast Unit Haven, Registered Charity No 1171155. Click on Lymphoedema@Trayah for more information.
I specialise in Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD) massage for those who have Lymphoedema, Lipoedema and also who have recently had cosmetic surgery. If you are about to have, or have had, any kind of surgery recently, or are suffering with symptoms of a slow lymphatic system and would like to give your body an immune boost, click on MLD@Trayah for more information to see if you could benefit.
I am also a Physical Therapist (Remedial) so as well as treating a range of conditions, I am also able to improve range of motion, reduce pain and support the muscles for those with heavy limbs affected by oedema (fluid swelling).
I gained my Diploma in Remedial Massage in Australia having studied for 18 months full time, which included performing over 200 hours of actual assessed treatment hours in sports, remedial, deep tissue, stretches, myofascial and trigger point therapy. I am also qualified to complete thorough assessments including range of motion, visual, postural and orthopaedic in order to address the source of the presenting problem, rather than the symptoms (where appropriate). To find out more visit Remedial@Trayah.
To tie mind, body and soul together, I am also a Reiki Master having been trained in traditional Usui Reiki.
I am fully insured, licensed with Worcestershire Council, First Aid and CPR qualified and am exceptionally COVID safe. I am a member of FHT Association and am also on their register that has been accredited by the Professional Standards Authority. The Accredited Registers quality mark gives extra peace of mind for anyone looking for a complementary healthcare therapist, letting them know that anyone who holds the mark is committed to high standards. My qualifications are also accepted by private health insurers, should your policy cover massage.
So, as part of my journey and chosen life path, I look forward to welcoming you to Trayah and supporting YOU on your journey to wellness.
