How we do it:

Hands-on healing through joint mobilisation & corrective exercises stimulate your body’s natural repair systems. Each visit will promote the following restoration processes:

• Improve mobility by breaking up adhesions and restrictions around the joints.
• Improve postural stability by stimulating the body’s proprioceptive (balancing) system.
• Improve muscle strength by invigorating the efferent nerve messages from the brain to the relevant muscles.
• Reduce the ‘pain messages’ sent to the brain by stimulating the joint mechanoceptors which suppress the Type IV nociceptor impulses to the brain.

While the treatment only takes a few minutes, the listed effects last for 48-72 hours. Repeated consistently, the effects will continue to last longer and longer.

Corrective Exercises are specifically tailored for each individual to ensure long lasting results are achieved and maintained. The objectives of the exercises are to:

• Stretch
• Strengthen
• Stabilise

Follow up Reviews are a critical way to monitor your body’s progress. These are scheduled periodically to check your progress. If an x-ray was taken prior to treatment, a follow-up x-ray will be used to determine the degree of structural correction achieved.

Corrective Care is based on the fact that everything works best when it’s in the right position. Subluxation (joint displacement) forces your body to compensate. Excessive compensation leads to the symptoms you feel. Treatments that don’t fix the cause (subluxation) are band-aid approaches at best. The F&LC specialises in correcting the underlying cause of your problem and then we teach you how to maintain the improvement.

Our environment can influence your progress as much as the actual treatment so we have a very relaxed, friendly atmosphere. It makes for a great work place too!
