Tricia Arculus

Tricia qualified Physiotherapist at Brunel University College with a BSc Honours degree in 1995. She became a junior physiotherapist at the Royal Free Hospital before specialising in Women’s Health at St Marys Hospital, Paddington. She completed her Post Graduate Diploma in Women’s Health in 2000 at University of Bradford.

In 2002 Tricia returned to the Royal Free Hospital as a Women’s Health Physiotherapist, focussing on the treatment of urogynaecology and bowel patients, specialising in particular on vulval pain and coccydynia. She was seconded to Camden’s Bowel and Bladder Continence service focussing on faecal and urinary incontinence at a number of Islington GP practices.

In 2016 she qualified as an acupuncturist at the University of Hertfordshire in order to use acupuncture as an adjunct to her conservative therapy and set up a Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) service for the bowel, bladder and pelvic pain patients.

In 2017 Tricia started to manage male patients with bowel, urinary and pelvic pain problems. She also undertook post graduate training in Pelvic Floor and Incontinence Assessment, psychosexual counselling, vulval pain, chronic pelvic pain, advanced manual therapy, acupuncture for Women’s health, male lower urinary tract symptoms and Health Coaching.

Tricia cares deeply about helping patients to understand their problems, understand the management, feel empowered to control and reduce their symptoms, thereby helping avoid invasive surgical procedures and tests, and improve their quality of their lives.

She is inspired by the potential of Frequency Specific Microcurrent and aiming to train mid-2024, so that she can incorporate this into her therapy.
