We treat the topic of ‘pain relief’ separately to ‘rehabilitation’… although they do frequently overlap. Pain relief is like getting a filling done at the dentist, a huge relief but with little or no preventative value. Rehabilitation, on the other hand, is anything designed to work more on underlying causes and prevent reoccurrence. Acupuncture needles may relieve your back pain but only exercises will strengthen your core and enable it to support your spine in the long term.

Conditions like stubborn knee pain, plantar fasciitis, osteoarthritis, ankle pain, and back pain, etc seldom manifest overnight. Even when your symptoms appear out of the blue or with a minor injury they are often the result of long-standing weakness or misalignment. This fact is a major part of the reason why the concept of ‘rehab’ is such a big part of our approach.
