We are thrilled to welcome Petra to the Space|3 team! Petra is a fully qualified and registered McTimoney chiropractor, bringing a gentle, whole-body approach to our community.
What is McTimoney chiropractic?
Unlike traditional chiropractic techniques that may use rapid, forceful adjustments, the McTimoney method is known for being incredibly gentle, swift and effective. It looks at the alignment of the entire skeleton — from head to toe — rather than just focusing on the area of pain. This makes it an ideal treatment for people of all ages, from children to seniors.

Bringing over 20 years of qualified chiropractic experience and more than 30 years of deep expertise as a holistic bodyworker, Petra offers a highly mature, integrated approach to natural healthcare. She grew up with a passion for wellness and has spent decades running a busy private practice across North and North East London, helping generations of patients recover from discomfort, improve mobility and achieve long-term vitality.
Petra has a special interest in treating:
- Lower back pain
- Neck and shoulder pain
- Pain, discomfort and stiffness in the joints
- Migraines and headaches arising from the neck
- Muscular aches and sports injuries
- Menstrual-related issues
“Over my 20+ years as a McTimoney chiropractor and three decades as a bodyworker, I have learned that no two bodies are identical. My goal is to listen closely to your unique history and use a highly refined, perceptive sense of touch to get your nervous and skeletal systems functioning at their absolute best. Whether you’re struggling with a complex, chronic issue or simply want to optimise your posture, my decades of clinical experience ensure your care plan is gentle, precise and completely tailored to you.”
What to expect from your first visit
An initial McTimoney consultation typically takes up to 90 minutes.
- Full case history: Petra will explore your current symptoms, lifestyle, general health and medical history to ensure standard chiropractic care is safe for you.
- Whole-body assessment: your structural alignment and range of motion will be evaluated using specialised, light manual checks from head to toe.
- Review of findings: before any adjustments are performed, Petra will clearly explain what she found and walk you through your personalised care plan.
- Gentle treatment: if it’s safe to proceed, your first treatment begins during this session. McTimoney adjustments use light, swift, low-force movements to gently reposition joints and vertebrae comfortably.
- Tailored aftercare: your session finishes with practical strategies to help your body adapt and stabilise comfortably over the following 48 hours.
