The overall aim of my company is to give my clients a comprehensive maintenance and repair service for injured muscles and joints, specializing in back, neck, shoulder and stress related disorders. Due to the nature of the individual treatments, some of them are more suited to the workplace or to the clinic but the main core treatments are available in all locations.

The treatments are listed in an alphabetical sequence for simplicity, but they are all as important as each other - indeed it is seldom possible to effect a sustainable cure without a combination of them supported by a preventative program. With improved awareness of your body's structural design, its nutritional needs and routine sessions, you can finally address that pain that you always "put up with" and achieve your ambitions on a day by day improvement basis.

People are becoming increasingly aware that the typical N.H.S. response today (driven by the gigantic and powerful pharmaceutical industry) is to treat the symptoms rather than the problem, a cynical observer would draw the conclusion that this is to ensure you come back month after month for further medication. Wouldn't it be nice to see a specialist and allow them to address the problem in order to get rid of the symptoms instead? If you mask the pain, but the injury remains, isn't it obvious that the imbalance and subsequent wear & tear will only serve to do more damage whilst you remain blissfully ignorant of the damage you are doing to yourself?

I have lost count of the number of people who have said to me, "I have a pain in one limb, but I suppose it's my age" - to which my response is "and how old is your other limb.... the one that doesn't hurt?". Another discussion I often have is regarding the lack of knowledge the average G.P. has when addressing muscle and joint problems, please remember though that there is a limit to the amount of knowledge anybody can have when faced with the huge diversity presented to them on a daily basis, and that a GP is far better than me at bacterial or viral diseases.

Manipulation
A treatment familiar to clients of Osteopaths and Chiropractors, skeletal manipulation re-aligns the various components of the skeleton. Many pains, even in remote parts of the body, are referred from slight deviations in the spine's functional norm.

On-site chair
A mobile service for use in offices, corporate events and the workplace in general, on-site chair treatments address stress and tension - particularly in the upper back, neck and shoulders - so it is ideal for people employed in activities such as IT. & receptionists using computers all day, dentists & mechanics who adopt unnatural postures to carry out their duties, and people who drive on a regular basis.

Orthotics
Individually designed footwear inserts that ease discomfort caused by foot defects (such as flat feet) which affect the posture. If the feet are not performing their function correctly it is similar to a house having a poor foundation - stresses occur that damage the structure.

Remedial massage
Regular remedial massage treatments not only bring pain relief but also reduce the chances of new injuries. Remedial massage is deeper than the "smells and bells" styles of massage and addresses muscular problems.

Routine sessions
In order to help maintain a healthy muscle tone, it is beneficial to have a regular program of treatments. Once every four weeks is advised.

Sports injuries
This type of treatment is not limited to sport activists - a racquet is not a pre-requisite of tennis elbow. Sport injury treatments address tendon and ligament damages.
