‘It was like magic’

Posted on

Watch Trevor describe the amazing results he experienced after 35 years of knee pain and one session with Arif.

You’ll also see Arif treat Trevor as he explains step by step the 3 points he uses to treat Trevor’s knee and how they work.

Trevor says of his knee and treatment “Before (the treatment) it would swell up if I was doing a bit of work, if I leant funny or whatever. I left here, nothing at all, absolutely nothing. It hasn’t played up,  ached, hasn’t swollen up. Nothing!

It was like magic.”

 

Our Scary Car Accident Made Us Think …

Posted on

car accidentAfter a car accident in a taxi on our way to Gatwick Airport it made us think – do you know what you should do to help yourself following a car accident?

Fortunately we were all OK and managed to make our flight!

The protocol after our accident was ice, chiropractic adjustments and acupuncture for all. It just goes to show even chiropractors are not immune from injury.

If you have an RTA here are the immediate recommendations:

1- Call your Chiro immediately if possible for phone advice.

2- If you have no contra indications, take an anti-inflammatory tablet such as Ibuprofen and take some arnica 30C homeopathic remedy.

3- Use ice on the affected area 15/15/15 minutes on/off/on.

4- Keep your nose and toes pointing the same way and tuck your chin in slightly.

5- Rest and recover, don’t try and carry on as normal. Have a cup of chamomile tea and use some Bach rescue remedy.

6– Make an emergency appointment as soon as possible no matter how you feel; chiropractors are best placed to assess you.

Look slimmer taller and younger and get a better back too

good postureHaving good posture means holding your body upright against gravity, we can look younger and slimmer, breathe more easily and have more energy but we need to train our bodies to do this.

The ideal posture allows for a plumb line to hang straight through your ear, shoulder, hip, knee and ankle. Try and stand in a relaxed way but gently contracting your abdominal muscles. When sitting, the same is true. The gravity line should pass thorough ear, shoulder and hip.

‘Straighten Up’ is a simple, three-minute exercise programme for all ages, designed to help strengthen the spine, improve posture and help joints.

These exercises can release tension in your shoulders so you look less hunched, build core muscle which will flatten your stomach, stretch your chest muscles so you can breath more easily and deeply helping you to feel more energised.

Give them a go for a New Year and New You.
