Women's Health

Chiropractic is the assessment, diagnosis and management of musculoskeletal conditions using hands on techniques such as adjustments and mobilising joints, the stretching and massage of soft tissues, muscles, tendons, ligaments & nerves.  I use very gentle techniques suitable for babies, children, during pregnancy and treatment of the elder.  I focus on evidence based management and treatment strategies to provide you with the most effective care.  I do a lot of rehabilitation and strengthening work as I believe that real improvement happens during the times in between clinic visits!

We are passionate about helping women stay as fit and active as they can be, whilst juggling the demands of family and working life.  Regular massage can be a great way of keeping your body in the best shape it can be whilst increasing your resilience and stamina.  The massage techniques used vary from a gentle Swedish or therapeutic massage for relaxation, to targeted soft tissue work and deep-tissue sports massage.  We combine soft tissue techniques, assisted stretching and targeted trigger point therapy, tailored to your needs. 

If you have a musculoskeletal injury, chiropractic treatment and regular massage can really help in your recovery and in the prevention of further injury.  We go through a thorough patient history of any presenting complaint and come up with a management plan to get you back to activities again.  Whether you are a keen runner, weekend gardener or have an active occupation, chiropractic care and regular massage can help support your body and aid in pain reduction, strengthening and prevent recurrence.

Active-isolated stretching is a great way to stretch out tight and tender muscles (check out our blog post for more information on Active Isolated Stretching). Often used in conjunction with other soft tissue work techniques but can be used as a stand-alone therapy which is especially useful for those involved in sport such as running.
