Our preventive chiropractic care, it is a two-step process to have you performing at your best. 

The first step in treatment is to improve your flexibility through massage, mobilizations and chiropractic adjustments.  Check out our massage section here for the complete benefits of massage with your chiropractic treatment.  Mobilizations and chiropractic adjustments stretch around your joints to improve your movement and help regulate your nervous system, improving movement and control.  

The second step is to improve your functional strength.  This is achieved through developing correct movement patterns in your body and having muscle control and strength in these ranges of movement.  Check out our functional strength page for more detail.    

Looking at preventive care as the two-step process of improving flexibility and strength, you are building resilience in your body to absorb the loads and impacts of your various activities.  Our patients have found that having chiropractic treatment improves training, performance and their overall health.  Leading to more enjoyment and less symptoms during activity.
