Athletes

We have treated many national and international sporting competitors in a variety of sports including rugby, rowing, running and football.

Chiropractic allows these athletes, at whatever level, to be faster, better balanced and better able to cope with the strain of professional competition. It is now common to see chiropractors at major sporting events; indeed the cycling hero Lance Armstrong wouldn't compete with out one. The body is like a finely tuned instrument; and even highly trained athletes benefit greatly from some 'tuning' chiropractic care.

Athletes who have also benefited from chiropractic care include Tiger Woods, Layton Hewitt, Arnorld Swartzernegger, the Australian cycling team, most American football teams, all Australian AFL teams, Australian, New Zealand and South African Rugby teams, the American Dream team, the Sale Sharks Rugby team and Leeds United.

Chiropractic helps athletes in the following main areas:

  • In the prevention of future injuries
  • In quicker recovery from existing injuries
  • In performance enhancement. It has been shown that chiropractic increases lung capacity -useful therefore huge benefit to athletes looking to increase power output
  • Going 'behind' the injury to find the underlying cause
  • Correction of biomechanical dysfunction
  • Heightened nervous system function and helps increase immune system response.

And so we believe chiropractic helps athletes
