Dry needling and trigger point therapy is very effective for clearing
knots, treating muscle strains and Achilles tendonitis and tennis and
golfers elbow.
DRY NEEDLING
APPLIED KINESIOLOGY
Applied kinesiology is the use of muscle testing to determine the location of weak muscles and joint restriction and making appropriate corrections.
BLOCKS
Blocks is the use of wedges under the pelvis as a subtle form of correcting pelvic rotation/'mis-alignment' and apparent leg length
inequality.
DROP TABLE
Drop table is a relatively subtle form of joint correction where sections of the table drop down with the segment of the spine we are adjusting.
B.E.S.T
As an adjunct to the bio mechanical corrections I also use bioenergetic synchronization technique (B.E.S.T) if applicable. This works in a subtle way to clear neuro-emotional and neuro-physical patterns of dysfunction.
Visceral manipulation is an effective technique to free up fascial tightness and allow normal function in the abdomen. It can be used treating gastro-esophageal reflux, abdominal bloating and discomfort.
VISCERAL MANIPULATION
ACTIVATOR METHODS
Activator methods is a gentle and precise form of joint correction using an adjusting instrument. It is effective for babies and older osteoporosis patients. It is a wonderful tool for shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, knee and ankle joint issues, such as an ankle sprain or frozen shoulder as well as TMJ (jaw/chewing problems/temporal headaches).
I would recommend spinal check ups every 3 months for most people .
I would suggest check ups for children in the 2 years prior to their
growth spurt as corrections in this time can prevent a lifetime of back
problems, as they grow with the spine in an optimal biomechanical
position.
