Sophie Dhenin
Acupuncturist in Virginia Water

I have been a physio since 1988 and an osteopath since 1998.........I find my work challenging and fascinating.
Every day is different, every client is different, every treatment is different
There are plenty of things I'm not so good at treating so I have surrounded myself with a team of skilled colleagues (physios, ostepath, acupuncturist, pilates instructors, massage therapist). Together we think we can offer you a pretty good package of therapies and approaches to treatment.
Feel free to phone or email if you need to ask any questions

Background & Acupuncture Qualifications

BA (Latin) from Bristol University 1978
Graduate Diploma of Physiotherapy from Guy's Hospital 1988
BSc (osteopathy) from Kingston University 1998

Keen but retired due injury squash/badminton/tennis/lacrosse player, marathon runner. Now sedately playing golf, working out in the gym and walking

My Specialisms

Physiotherapy and osteopathy
My main areas of interest are: manual therapy, manipulation, trigger point therapy, dry needling and acupuncture
Qualified in Fascial Manipulation modules 1 & 2 (www.fascialmanipulation.com), Graston Technique, Sarah Key method, myofascial release and many other techniques
We are also lucky enough to have a Theraflex machine in our Virginia Water practice. I do not usually condone the use of machines but this is a fantastic gadget which effectively mobilises every segment of your back (though under the direct control of the therapist)
Recently we have added focused shockwave for treatment of stubborn tendon problems and also EMTT and PEMF to help in the treatment of inflammatory problems

Approach to Acupuncture & How I Work

Yes, it's probably what everyone else on this website says: but I do my best to look at the whole picture and treat each client holistically
We are a joyful Practice. Everyone in the team loves their work, we are surrounded by a lovely garden populated by our very own ducks and chickens, we have fantastic support staff and we really ARE a team!
