Chiropractic Services
Chiropractic combines the science, art and philosophy of health with the unique approach of looking to the CAUSE of disease and not just treating the symptoms. Our method of Chiropractic, called the Gonstead Technique focuses on being as specific as possible with the examination, finding the cause of the problem, fixing it and then leaving the area alone to heal.
At the initial consultation, a thorough history and examination is performed to determine if your problem is a Chiropractic one, and also to locate specific areas of reduced mobility. It is this loss of normal joint biomechanics impacting on the nervous system that creates the symptoms you feel. Chiropractic treatment is then applied to restore the normal movement and to reduce the nervous irritation.
The goal of the Gonstead practitioner is to "do the least to achieve the most". That is to say, the least amount of segments to be adjusted with the least amount of force the least amount of times. Our aim is to get you better as quickly as possible.
The Gonstead system is suitable for patients of all ages from newborns to the elderly, everyone can benefit!
Corrective Exercises
Once your joints have been set back to where they should be, we teach our patients exercises designed individually to help strengthen and correct the problem. These exercises will minimise the length of treatment you receive and will maximise your recovery.
Spinal and Postural Screenings
Posture and spinal screenings can reveal important health information and unlock the door to improved health and well-being. We can provide screenings at your workplace, community events and health fairs. Contact us today to arrange a screening at your event or workplace.

Massage may be used to treat a variety of conditions from inducing a state of relaxation to pain and injury management. All of our massage therapists have completed at least a two year advanced diploma in massage therapy.
There are numerous massage styles available at Body & Health Creation including:
• Relaxation massage: A relaxation massage uses long strokes and kneading motions applying pressure between muscles and bones in the same direction as the flow of blood returning to the heart. Calming and assists relaxation and circulation.
• Deep tissue massage: more intense than a relaxation massage aiming to get to those deep set muscle aches and pains releasing all the stress that has been building for a while.
• Remedial massage: aimed more at injury treatment and prevention, remedial massage focuses on a smaller area of the body aiming to maximise recovery.
• Sports massage: Pre and post event massage can be aimed at loosening the body and increasing your range of motion to maximise your results, or it can be used to minimise your recovery time, helping the body overcome the rigors of an event.
• Pregnancy massage: Pregnancy and post-natal massage are performed by a therapist with specialist training in the pregnant and immediate postnatal body. Recommended to ease some of the aches and pains caused by the pressures of pregnancy. A pregnancy pillow is available for your comfort.
