It can obviously decompress the spine and the vertebral structures such as the discs and the vertebral joints, and therefore decrease irritation on the nerves by increasing the space in the spine where the nerves exit. It can also decrease muscle spasm, increase blood flow and decrease the sensitivity and pain in the spine.

When an injury occurs, it is when the load exceeds the capacity of what your body can handle. Typically you will experience some acute pains in the beginning stages. Our therapists will identify these areas and address the pain with massage therapy to alleviate the tension. This will down-regulate your nervous system, reduce pain and allow for your body to relax. If you are in this stage, seeing a Registered Massage Therapist or Physiotherapist or Chiropractor would be the most ideal. (Phase 2) Restoration Once the pain has subsided, we then introduce corrective work along with manual therapy to address any of the compensation patterns which may have developed before and/or during your injury. The corrective work will introduce new and efficient movement patterns that will help further decrease your chances of injury. If you are in this stage, seeing a Physiotherapist or Chiropractor would be the most ideal. (Phase 3) Evolution The final phase in your treatment plan will include specifically assigned exercises to create more resilience in your movements. These exercises will include various slings in the body so you can create strength through integration, and not just isolation. This ensures that you will have longer and sustained results between your maintenance visits. If you are in this stage, seeing a Physiotherapist or a Kinesiologist would be the most ideal.
