Welcome to Human Touch Web Site


Human Touch is an integrated physiotherapy and Myofascial release treatment clinic located in Maldon, Essex, run by Julia Shaffer BSc(Hons) Physiotherapy.  She has since had the oppertunity to work and develop her skills within a number of hospitals.  The quest for new techniques has seen Julia travelling to the USA under the instruction of John Barnes, an inspirational teacher and clinician of great intuition and insight.  Due to only a handful of practioners offering such treatment Julia has decided to set up a clinic that incoporates the philosophy and core foundations of Myofascial release within a physiotherapy clinic. 


Treatment can involve the combination of a number of techniques such as myofascial release , craniosacral therapy, manual therapy, acupuncture, clinical pilates and a home exercise programme.

 
Myofascial Release and Craniosacral therapy are form of hands on therapy that have a profound effect at balancing the body and releasing deep restrictions throughout the body. It is a whole mind and body approach which can help to reduce pain, restore normal movement and improve function.

Acupuncture was founded amongst the Chinese and is an ancient tool to help with pain control and enhance relaxation. It has become very popular amongst the Western world due the profound effects it has on improving pain and restoring movement. Acupuncture is also offered to aid with the reduction of sickness following chemotherapy and surgery.

Human Touch accepts private paying patients and most healthcare insurance policies.
