Mobilisation & Manipulation
Having learnt skills from osteopaths and chiropractors we have integrated the best into our practice. If during our assessment we identify stiff or locked joints we will perform manual techniques to release the level. This can include spinal manipulation or mobilisation of the peripheral joints. These 'hand on' therapies can have dramatic effects on acute back and neck pain and can altogether completely resolve the problem.
These will only be carried out by a qualified practitioner who has experience in ensuring the safety of the patient at all times.
