Benefits of Chiropractic Care

Chiropractic care offers multiple benefits, including improved joint mobility, reduced pain and discomfort, enhanced nervous system function, and better posture. It can also decrease muscle spasms and increase recovery from injuries. Additionally, chiropractic treatments can improve overall health and wellness by supporting the body's natural healing processes, often reducing the need for medications and invasive procedures.

So, what’s the difference between a Chiro, Osteo or Physio?

At Movement Therapy, we don’t see our chiropractors, exercise physiologists, osteopaths, or physiotherapists as different; we call ourselves Movement Therapists.

A Movement Therapist is a university-qualified therapist in chiropractic, exercise physiology, osteopathy, or physiotherapy. They use a wide range of techniques and strategies to diagnose and treat movement dysfunction, using our Movement Therapy principles and core values.
