SPECIAL INTERESTS IN...

Sports Injuries

Regardless of the area of pain or the onset of the injury we can work through the issues and help your muscles recover faster, increase your flexibility and the range of motion through your joints. See how we can help you raise your game!!!

 Back & Neck Pain

Low back pain and neck pain are probably the most common areas we treat here at the clinic.  The spine is of extreme importance for the well being and functioning of the body. Disc damage, degeneration, nerve irritation, muscle sprains are common injuries to the spine. See how we can help keep you mobile and pain free!!

Posture

No one has perfect posture, but we can all try and aim to have our bodies functioning optimally to help reduce stress or ‘wear and tear’ on our joints. Having proper alignment of our spine, shoulders, hips and so on can all aid in creating a body with minimal imbalances and therefore more equal distribution of forces such as gravity that are constantly placed upon our bodies.

Osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis/Degeneration are just a fancy word for wear and tear, it is closely related to posture, past injuries and sports/occupation. Although no manual practitioner can reverse the changes on the bones, manual practitioners can help improve the range of motion, relax muscles and stretch the soft tissues to prevent the rubbing of ‘bone on bone’. Commonly affected areas include the Knees, the Hips, Low back and the Neck.

Pinched Nerves

Nerve irritation or a ‘Pinched Nerve’ as it is often called, is a common occurrence, with symptoms including Pin and Needles, sharp shooting pain and even muscle weakness. There can be a multitude of factors that can cause compression of the nerve. Removing and treating the source of compression will result in a reduction in symptoms!

Shoulder Pain

The shoulder provides a huge range of motion, allows us to do some many movements, activities and so forth. However, with all the complexity and range of motion it leads the shoulder prone to numerous injuries, commonly our ‘Rotator Cuff muscles’ can become torn, inflamed as well as poor biomechanics (hunched shoulders) and so forth can all result in pain, weakness and limited mobility.
