How Ashton works
Thoughtful care for complex presentations
Ashton begins by understanding the whole picture: what you are feeling, what you have tried, how you move and what you want to return to. Treatment is explained clearly and shaped with you, not handed to you as a generic plan.
Her background in strength and conditioning helps connect treatment in the clinic with the capacity you need outside it. The aim is to help you understand your body, build confidence and make useful progress towards your goals.
Clinical interests
Areas Ashton commonly works with
Care is always based on the individual assessment rather than a diagnosis alone.
Support for hypermobile athletes
Practical support for hypermobile athletes to manage pain, move with confidence, and return to training.
Foot, ankle and jaw concerns
Assessment and care for recurring foot and ankle issues, TMJ discomfort, jaw tension and related movement patterns.
Hypermobility, EDS and HSD
Building control, confidence and capacity
Hypermobility can involve far more than flexible joints. Ashton works with people managing instability, recurring pain, fatigue and exercise intolerance, using education, appropriate hands-on care and carefully progressed rehabilitation.
She is also involved in teaching and mentoring health professionals who want to improve their clinical reasoning and exercise prescription for hypermobile presentations.
