Physio Mind Body is owned and operated by Marie Mayock a physiotherapist who works in the specialist areas of; Respiratory, Breathing, Mental Health, Vestibular, Fall Prevention, Rehabilitation and Wellness.
Marie’s techniques to support both the mind and body have been deeply interwoven into her professional practise throughout her work in New Zealand District Health Boards and the NHS in the UK.
After specialising in respiratory and breathing retraining Marie recognised that working with both mind and body was essential for healing, recovery and creating change.
Marie has over 17 years of clinical physiotherapy experience in various hospital settings. She has completed additional qualifications in wellness, breathing, vestibular rehabilitation and mental health.
Marie takes a holistic view of physiotherapy and uses a multi-faceted approach which can include pain education, trigger point release, dry needling, mindfulness, hypno-physio, breathing retraining and exercise prescription.
Marie seeks to provide tools and techniques to help clients regulate their nervous system to help manage issues with breathing, pain, stress, anxiety and sleep disturbance.
Outside of work Marie enjoys the outdoors, being in nature and spending time with her family.
Marie specialises in vestibular rehabilitation. She can assess and treat Benign Positional Paroxysmal Vertigo (BPPV) which is caused by small crystals in the inner ear breaking free and becoming lodged within the balance semicircular canals.
Vestibular loss or damage to the inner ear can result in vertigo, nausea, unsteadiness and dizziness. This is treated with specific exercises for the eyes, head and balance systems that retrain the brain and body to compensate for the vestibular loss.
Hypno-physio refers to the integration of hypnotherapy and physiotherapy. Marie has found that these simple techniques and strategies can improve a client’s overall mindset and motivation, leading to a better outcome and an improved quality of life.
