Enrich Therapies Southampton

About

Enrich Therapies Southampton is led by Laura Panaech, a highly experienced Physiotherapist, Pilates Instructor, and CranioSacral Therapist dedicated to delivering the best possible care to her clients. Laura believes in continuous learning and reflection, embodying the philosophy that “learning is about living and as such is lifelong” (Bente Elkjaer). This commitment drives her to constantly update her skills and expand her therapeutic toolkit, allowing her to help clients often when other practitioners have not been able to.

Laura qualified in Physiotherapy in 1996 at the University of Southampton and earned a Master’s degree in Musculoskeletal Studies (Manual Therapy) in 2002 from the University of Western Australia. She has practised in London, Sydney, Singapore, and Southampton, gathering a wealth of global experience before founding Enrich Therapies in 2019.

Since 2014, Laura has specialised in ConnectTherapy™, a holistic approach developed by Canadian physiotherapist Dr Linda-Joy Lee. This method involves assessing the whole body to identify not only the source of pain but also the underlying factors that contribute to it, including compensatory patterns from injury or habitual postures. Laura continually refines her ConnectTherapy™ skills, recently travelling to Vancouver to stay abreast of the latest research.

Additionally, Laura is a qualified Upledger CranioSacral Therapist and member of the CranioSacral Society (CSS). She integrates gentle CranioSacral Therapy techniques with physiotherapy to connect deeply with clients, addressing complex issues involving the craniosacral, nervous, digestive, and cardiovascular systems. This therapy also incorporates Somato Emotional Release (SER), which can help release physical and emotional trauma stored in the body’s connective tissue, offering profound healing for longstanding pain and health problems.
