the art of alignment
Our natural alignment is the root of our overall well-being. Our chiropractor delivers high quality, gentle and specific chiropractic adjustments, supported by other modalities, to care for your joints, bones, muscles and nervous system in order to encourage your body back into alignment.

adjustments / manipulation
Chiropractic adjustments stand as a cornerstone of evidence-based care meticulously employed by our chiropractor. This non-invasive technique is dedicated to addressing neuromusculoskeletal conditions and fostering overall wellness. Through the application of controlled, low force chiropractic adjustments on specific joints within the spine or extremities, this promotes joint alignment, enhances mobility, and alleviates discomfort. This results in the removal of interference between communication from the brain to the body, for your nervous system to function optimally.
key benefits
include:
- Mobilisation: Facilitating increased range of motion.
- Pain Relief: Expertly addressing and mitigating discomfort.
- Enhanced Mobility Assurance: Ensuring optimal movement functionality.

soft tissue massage
Soft tissue massage stands as a proven therapeutic technique, involving manipulation of the body’s soft tissues to promote healing and alleviate discomfort by increasing warmth and blood flow to the areas worked. Our skilled chiropractor takes the time to address issues such as muscle tension, inflammation, and restricted mobility through massage therapy techniques. This approach has demonstrated effectiveness in targeting a range of conditions causing neck pain, low back pain, headaches, sciatica, and various muscular discomforts.
key benefits
include:
- Enhanced Flexibility: Promoting increased range of motion through focused soft tissue manipulation.
- Muscle Function Optimisation: Improving the overall functionality and resilience of muscles.
- Accelerated Recovery: Facilitating a quicker healing process for sustained relief.
- Tension and Inflammation Reduction: Alleviating discomfort associated with soft tissue issues.

Dry Needling
Dry needling is a highly effective treatment modality, skilfully placing thin filament needles into specific locations within tight muscles, called myofascial trigger points, commonly known as “knots”.
Often confused with acupuncture, this precise intervention is designed to alleviate pain and accelerate the healing process by initiating a localised inflammatory response to speed up healing. This treatment is highly effective, and evidenced to be particularly beneficial for various conditions such as neck pain, low back pain, headaches, sciatica, hip and gluteal discomfort, rotator cuff and shoulder conditions, tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, leg pain, and achilles tendonitis.
key benefits
include:
- Improved Mobility: Regaining freedom of movement through targeted intervention.
- Increased Muscle Function: Enhancing the overall efficiency and performance of muscles.
- Faster Rate of Recovery: Accelerating the healing process for swift relief.
- Reduced Muscle Tightness and Spasms: Alleviating discomfort associated with tension.
- Enhanced Sport Performance: Optimising muscular function for peak athletic achievement.
T.E.N.S & E.M.S
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation and electrical muscle stimulation are non-pharmacological methods of treating different types of pain or increasing performance of muscle groups, respectively. Depending on the settings for each, a mild electrical current is used to either inhibit the transference of pain to muscle fibres or stimulate/relax targeted muscles. This method is scientifically substantiated and an approved form of medical treatment.
key benefits
include:
- Pain relief of various causes: Back and neck pain, neuralgia, sore joints, menstrual cramps, circulatory disorders, chronic pain syndromes, acute and chronic sports injuries.
- Compliments conventional muscle training: performance optimisation of different muscle groups.
- Targeted muscle strengthening and increased endurance: achieved by E.M.S activation.
- Muscle relaxation and rest: improves symptoms of muscular fatigue and accelerates muscle regeneration.
Kinesio-Taping & Dynamic Taping
Kinesiology tape (commonly known as K-tape) and dynamic taping are versatile and potent therapeutic allies, offering a myriad of applications and advantages. From alleviating pain and preventing injuries to elevating athletic prowess and refining posture, this dynamic tape is expertly designed to deliver unparalleled support. Its popularity has surged within the realms of sports, fitness, and rehabilitation, becoming an integral tool for those seeking optimal performance.
Incorporating taping into your fitness regimen, rehabilitation plan, or daily routine can significantly contribute to enhancing your overall performance. Your chiropractor, equipped with comprehensive training, skilfully applies this strapping technique to ensure maximal benefits tailored to your unique needs.
Another well known use for taping, is to provide support and comfort to the beautifully growing abdomen of pregnant women. It is easily applied and does not restrict movement, allowing support while giving that extra bit of relief and comfort when things start to get a little heavier in the later stages of pregnancy.
key benefits
include:
- Therapeutic Detoxification: The application of taping techniques promotes lymph drainage, blood flow and toxin release.
- Muscle Support and Injury Prevention: Bolstering muscles and safeguarding against potential injuries.
- Enhanced Athletic Performance: Elevating your capabilities and pushing performance boundaries.
- Muscle Rehabilitation: Guiding muscles through a path of recovery and rejuvenation.
- Pain Relief for Musculoskeletal Conditions: Mitigating discomfort associated with musculoskeletal issues.
- Improved Posture and Body Alignment: Fostering a balanced and aligned stance for enhanced well-being.
SOT Blocks
Chiropractic SOT “blocks” or wedges are precisely placed under your unbalanced or misaligned pelvis. This technique is used when a leg length discrepancy is noted by your chiropractor. Blocks are used to re-align and correct your pelvis, eliminating poor posture and muscle imbalance, allowing you to stand upright with a better centre of gravity, reducing stress and strain on your musculoskeletal system.
Blocking is a fantastic, conservative approach to supporting and stabilising your pelvis during pregnancy, when your ligaments require some extra love during the stages of increased laxity. Their popularity has grown exponentially within chiropractic care, offering a crucial element in enhancing overall well-being.
key benefits
include:
- Targeted Support Expertise: Applying precise SOT blocks for strategic therapeutic benefits.
- Pain Relief and Injury Prevention: Mitigating discomfort and safeguarding against potential injuries.
- Improved Posture and Body Alignment: Fostering a balanced and aligned pelvis for better stance and enhanced well-being.
