About Catherine

Catherine O’Brien is a skilled therapist who helps people with a wide range of musculoskeletal problems. She uses a holistic and evidence-based approach to care. Her treatments combine hands-on therapy, movement-based exercises, and dry needling when suitable.

Catherine is known for treating conditions such as rib and upper back pain, pelvic misalignment, and jaw (TMJ) issues. She also supports clients dealing with headaches, postural strain, and neck or back pain. In addition, she offers care for women during pregnancy and after birth.

She believes that each person deserves a plan tailored to their needs. By taking time to listen and assess carefully, she builds treatment strategies that aim to relieve pain and restore comfort.

Catherine works from our Malvern clinic, where she also runs group exercise sessions that support core strength and alignment.

Services

Catherine offers a range of services for both new and ongoing issues. She uses safe and effective methods to relieve discomfort and improve movement.

• Rib and Thoracic Pain: This type of pain can make breathing and daily tasks difficult. Catherine uses gentle techniques to restore movement and reduce pressure in the upper back and chest area.

• Pelvic Misalignment: When the pelvis is out of balance, it can cause pain in the hips, back, or legs. Catherine helps correct this through hands-on therapy and strengthening work.

• TMJ (Jaw) Pain: Jaw tightness or clicking can be linked to muscle tension and poor posture. Catherine treats the area directly and also addresses related issues in the neck or upper spine.

• Headaches and Neck Pain: These problems often stem from posture or tight muscles. Treatment focuses on easing strain and improving alignment.

• Back Pain and Postural Stress: Catherine helps people manage both short-term and long-standing back issues. She combines manual therapy with simple, useful exercises.

• Pre- and Post-Natal Care: Catherine supports women through the physical changes of pregnancy and recovery. She offers safe ways to ease pain and rebuild strength.
