Optimizing
your performance
As a chiropractor, I guide individuals in unlocking the true capabilities of their body. Many are unaware of the immense possibilities for improvement and optimal function that exist within. Through personalized assessments and treatments, the path to enhanced performance becomes clear. Individualized treatments can include a variety of treatment options depending on what the patient is comfortable with as well as what can help with the injury they are recovering from. Please see below for the different forms of treatment tools that I use.
-
Acupuncture
Dry needling and electroacupuncutre modulate the nervous system and bring blood flow to tight and sore muscles and tissues.
-
Soft Tissue Release
Hands on work to the muscles, the tendons, the ligaments and the fascia, to release and restore proper range of motion to the body.
-
Targeted Exercise
With over 15 years of experience and training in pilates, DNS, yoga, FRC, resistance training and more, exercises are a key part of treatments. They help activate and coordinate the ideal muscles after an injury can help retain the benefits of treatment.
-
Joint Manipulation and Mobilization
Joint manipulation/mobilization improves function of restricted joints as well as help decrease pain.
-
Performance Tape
Kinesiology tape helps normalise neuromotor activity and can help with support, balance, coordination and pain.
-
Fascial Abraison Technique ( FAT)
The FAT tool works on the fascia, the web of connective tissue that is woven within all the muscle, tendons and ligaments. It helps with restoring movement, reducing scar tension and restoring fluid dynamics for better blood flow and drainage.
-
Shockwave
It can be used on a multitude of injuries and can be helpful for chronic conditions, scar tissue and research supports it’s use to treat plantar fasciitis, achilles tendinopathy, and frozen shoulder.
Initial Assessment

Customized Treaments
While people can have similar injuries, their bodies are unique and my job is to tailor the treatments to each person individually for maximal success and comfort.
Re-assessment & Follow up care
Each appointment I will re-assess the areas that we are treating to further improve the success of our treatments as well as ensure continued improvement.
Advanced Recovery
A comprehensive treatment to address the entire system involved in the complaint/injury. This treatment is provided to professional or high performance individuals for recovery and to maximize performance.

Different injuries or complaints can take different amounts of time to heal and recover. I will do my best to advise you on a typical timeline of recovery related to your injury. While I cannot specify an exact number of treatments, I do expect a patient to be showing improvement within 2-3 treatments and if not, we will look into referring you for further imaging or testing as necessary.
