Vibeke Santos – Physiotherapist (chronic back pain)

I am an HCPC-registered Physiotherapist with over 15 years of NHS experience and 30 years of experience as a massage therapist. I help people with chronic back pain through an integrated, compassionate mind-body treatment that helps calming the nervous system, and enable safe movement.

I understand that living with constant pain is exhausting and can affect all aspects of your life. However, your back is not broken, weak, or crumbling. Instead, your nervous system is in overdrive. It treats daily stress, lifestyle pressures, and protective tension as physical threats, using your spine to flash distress signals in the form of pain. The pain is real, but it is there for the wrong reasons.

The 3-Month Nervous System Calming Programme

A structured, 90-day program focused on calming your nervous system, symptom relief, and practising how to safely trust your body to move again.

Your journey begins with a comprehensive initial assessment. We map the history of your back pain, outline your most important priorities, and perform a soothing, hands-on manual treatment to immediately calm your nervous system. You will be given some practical advice on how you can soothe tension and move safely. The initial assessment might be all you need for the time being.

If we both feel this calming approach can help you take control of your important activities more long term, we transition into a structured 3-month framework designed to build lasting physical confidence. This includes:

Further 2 monthly face to face treatments of 90 minutes blending manual therapy with restorative practice to make sure you can extend the benefits beyond the treatment room.

Ongoing support via text for the duration of the program. This will ensure you feel confident to your practice at home between sessions. The support is available in between sessions Mon-Fri and will be answered within 24 hours of receiving an enquiry. You will also be encouraged to check in regularly.

Full 3 months Programme: £370 (Includes your Initial Assessment)

Initial assessment on its own: £110.
