Your First Visit
How we work, and what you can expect
We will welcome you and because of the wide array of potential causes, we start with a thorough examination which includes a lifestyle assessment, where you are asked to complete our health questionnaire. This form will give us important information about you, your present complaint and your health goals. During the Initial Consultation we perform a Computerised Postural Assessment to asses your postural distortions, which shows you an in depth analysis report with degrees of deviations from the norm. Thus to better allow us to show you clear PRE and POST reports showing improved posture.
We will then spend sometime asking specific questions about your present complaint to determine if alternative health care is right for you. You will be physically examined, and tests such as your ability to turn and bend, your reflexes, and other standard postural and physical examinations will be carried out. This important information will allow us to have a better understanding of your present health and how we can help you tackling back pain, lower back pain and neck pain.
Initial Consultation and Report of Findings
We utilise Computerised Postural Assessments during the Initial Consultation appointment, which is a Posture Analysis Software depicting your postural distortions, and shows you an in depth analysis report with degrees of deviations from the norm.
This tool is intended to be an objective postural and movement screening tool in which we can quickly render findings to prospective patients, capture patient demographics, and print or email the prospective patient their findings.
Thus to better allow us to show you clear PRE and POST reports showing improved posture. Our software is linked with Customised Postural Rehabilitation Programmes tailored to each patients unique needs to help you get the results you desire faster.
Postural Hygiene, how to be mindful on the move
Help your Posture
Our bodies have an optimal chance to work at it's best when our spine is aligned. When you cross your legs, your pelvis and your spine rotate in different directions, and it restricts lymph flows, and your cranial nerves get pinched.
Be Tech Savvy
Avoid looking at screens in the first or last hour of the day. The intensity of light in the moring throws your circadian rhythms out of sync, and stimulating your nervous system at the end of the day significantly decreases sleep quality.
Breathe (and Stop)
Do five to ten minutes of deep breathing - open up your rib cage and expand it not just forwards but laterally and to the back. Modern every day life is hyper-stimulating, but breathing fully triggers your parasympathetic nervous system and aids relaxation.
Understand your wavelength
One of the best things is to walk barefoot on the earth. Our nervous system is electrical and the earth is resonating at 7.83 hertz. Walking on the earth barefoot calms us down and reduces inflamation.
Meditate anywhere
Avoid looking at screens in the first or last hour of the day. The intensity of light in the moring throws your circadian rhythms out of sync, and stimulating your nervous system at the end of the day significantly decreases sleep quality.
