OSTEOPATHY
​
CHIROPRACTIC
SOT (Sacro-Occipital Technique)
SOT is the core approach to chiropractic care for both our chiropractors. Using body indicators malfunctions of the skeletal, neurological, visceral, cranial systems are determined and corrected. There are a variety of gentle and comfortable techniques to restore optimal structure and function to the human frame and nerve system.
The techniques main focus is to optimise CSF flow by relaxing the tensions of membranes around the brain and nerves. Treating the cause as opposed to symptom chasing can allow for dramatic changes in vitality and moevment, as well as less pain. This technique can be very gentle and is quite different to the 'traditional' chiropractic model.
ABC (ADVANCED BIOSTRUCTURAL CORRECTION)
Since 2010 Bruce has become a proponent of ABC, a
structural approach which delivers consistent and predictable outcomes.
This results in a natural upright posture and assists in correctly aligning the spine. The body’s innate capacity to heal itself under the control of the nervous system will then begin the process of “unwinding” from the
compensation patterns that have developed over a lifetime.
Wear and tear in the body can be predicted from structural/postural analysis.
Bruce's promise; you will "Stand Tall, Breathe Easy, Move Freely"
WHAT IS OSTEOPATHY?
Osteopathy is a hands on approach to healthcare recognising the important link between the structures of your body & the way it works. Osteopaths focus on how your skeleton, joints, muscles, nerves and circulation work together to improve your health & well-being.

WHO NEEDS CARE?

Birth is the first trauma in life and so mother and child should be checked as soon as practical after the birth.
Growing children should be monitored and assisted to develop and maximise their potential.
Adults experience varying states of health and being throughout the stresses and strains of life.
All ages can be comfortably looked after with the appropriate choice of technique.
