the body still has something left to say.
Rodger Duckworth is an HCPC-registered, psychologically informed physiotherapist and somatic trauma therapist in Wokingham, Berkshire, offering somatic trauma therapy for complex trauma, developmental and attachment trauma, sexual harm and long-term pain or fatigue.
Hello, I'm Rodger
I am a physiotherapist and somatic therapist with over 36 years of experience. I work with people whose bodies and relationships are still shaped by what they have been through: complex trauma, early attachment wounds, and the protective patterns the body holds long after the danger has gone.

Come as you are
There is no one treatment or healing technique that can fix everything. If there were, we would all be fit, healthy and well with all the answers.
I rarely use one technique on its own. Physiotherapy and manual therapy, movement, craniosacral and fascial work, acupuncture, Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch, EMDR and conversation blend through every session as we move through your healing journey together.
