How We Can Help:
We would examine the spine, your overall structure, muscles, joints, nerves and movement patterns. Once we pin point the root of the problem, we can adjust the spine and correct any structural issues. We would often advise upon specific exercises to strengthen, mobilise and rehabilitate any identified weaknesses and improve movement patterns to keep it as healthy as possible.
Sometimes imaging and onward referral is necessary to establish the extent of the injury.
