SPORTS CHIROPRACTIC
Sports Chiropractic to improve mobility, stability and strength for everyday athletes
The focus of sports chiropractic is to provide care in the conservative management, rehabilitation and performance optimisation of the neuromusculoskeletal system for athletes. We focus on improving mobility, stability and strength using a combination of manual adjustment, soft tissue therapies and rehabilitation exercises in our fully equipped strength and conditioning gym.
We provide a multi-disciplinary sports injury care environment to achieve the best results for you. Our multimodal treatment approach includes: manipulation, mobilisation, soft tissue therapies, electrotherapy, rehabilitation and other movement/exercise therapies, nutritional advice, strapping and bracing and other related approaches.
These approaches are applied to injury management in the form of acute, subacute and chronic injury as well as in the prevention of injury and the optimisation of athletic performance through the pursuit of the highest efficiency in neuromusculoskeletal functioning.
