the difference

You will find your treatment very different to most clinics, due to its focus. Each treatment revolves around your bodies needs as they present on the day. Your body assessment dictates your treatment, all the while working on your key issues and moving towards clearing your pain and injury. 


​Treating the whole body is a key to successfully removing your pain. This includes looking at the mind body connection, trauma and stresses that may be exacerbating your problems.
​ The human body is a dynamic interconnected marvel and is truly greater than its individual parts.  What appears to be your problem may indeed only be a symptom of a greater imbalance elsewhere in the body.


​With proper assessment and whole body treatment you can achieve greater balance, better performance and less pain.
