McTimoney Chiropractic
What is McTimoney Chiropractic?
McTimoney Chiropractors approach the body as a whole functioning system, rather than treating only specific areas that may be presenting with symptoms. The approach is based on the view that discomfort and pain in one part of the body may be manifestations of problems elsewhere in the musculo-skeletal system and that, for optimal health, the whole musculo-skeletal system needs to work harmoniously together. A McTimoney Chiropractor will aim to find the misalignment underlying the symptom that clients are experiencing.
Chiropractic is a method of adjusting the bones of your body to improve skeletal alignment and improve your spine health. McTimoney Chiropractors are trained to correct misalignments using light, quick and specific adjustments. Most people experience little or no discomfort when receiving a McTimoney Method treatment.

The Process
How do I start care? And how does it work?
Free spine check
A spine check is an opportunity to meet with a chiropractor to discuss your concerns or complaints, and an opportunity for you to have an assessment using palpation to see if chiropractic care is suitable for you.

Regular follow up treatments are crucial for your body to stay in it’s new alignment.
After your initial consultation, our chiropractors will establish a course of care tailored around your own
individual needs.

Techniques That we use
During your treatment
We use many techniques, but mainly our hands to gently move joints into their correct position to reduce nerve irritation from inflammation caused by joint problems.
Your entire body will be re-aligned, we won’t just work on your back, you’ll have adjustments to your arms, legs, hands, feet and neck too. Alongside this expect to see some resistance work to help loosen tight muscles.
Aftercare
After your treatment it’s important that you lay down, rest, and drink plenty of water. Your body will need time to adjust to it’s new alignment. Avoid strenuous exercise forthe rest of the day.
