Chiropractic Care Enhances Peak Performance
Improve the overall function of your nervous system
The co-ordination of body movement is controlled by the brain, via the spinal cord and nerves- the nervous system. Muscles and joints move where and when the brain tells them to do so.
If the brain and body are not communicating properly- i.e. the nervous system messages are not getting through clearly- the muscles, organs, blood vessels and joints that those nerves control are probably not functioning well either. Brain to body communication is affected by joint misalignment, trauma, poor posture, and many other stressors on your body.
Chiropractic Care uses specific adjustments of joints of the spine, extremities and skull to optimise movement, strength, flexibility and co-ordination. This improves brain-body communication, helping your body to achieve better alignment and posture, thereby helping joints and muscles to function at their optimum potential.
Better alignment and posture means better and more efficient movement and nervous system function. For fitness and playing sports, better nervous system function can mean better co-ordination, enhanced reaction times, faster speed, increased muscular output of strength and force, more efficient use of body energy, and less chance of incurring injuries.
Any type of sporting person can benefit from chiropractic care, whether you are learning a new sport, improving your fitness levels, or training for high grade competitions.
Our Chiropractors will assess your whole body, not only to help improve the pain of injuries, but to find the underlying misalignment that may have allowed that injury to occur.
Many high profile sports players, such as Archie Thompson (Socceroo) and the late Peter Brock, include Chiropractic Care in their regime for achieving peak performance. Such sporting people come from a wide range of sporting codes, including Rugby Union, Golf, Running, Rugby League, Soccer, Athletics, Boxing, AFL, Martial Arts, Ballet, Tennis, Basketball, Netball, Hockey, and Swimming.
