Spinal Touch

What is Spinal Touch?

It is a unique and highly effective light touch technique which aims to bring the spine into mechanical balance by realigning the body's centre of gravity which is situated on a plane between the fifth lumber vertebrae and the first sacral segment. It is based on the principle that such realignment releases tension in adjacent muscles vertebrae and nerves, playing a central part in restoring health.

It was developed in the 1920's by and American engineer and chiropractor called John Hurley. He devised a technique which used engineering principles and physiology for assessing and treating postural distortion at the centre of gravity for the body.

What does the treatment involve?

During your first consultation I will document details covering your health history, lifestyle and hereditary background.

An initial postural assessment at the plumb line is used to identify any postural distortion or misalignment. After this the patient receives a treatment while lying prone on a treatment couch.

I will apply a precise sequence of light pressure contacts to more than one hundred points on the spine, shoulders, neck, head, abdomen, buttocks. This guides the body towards postural correction and encourages the release of tension and pain. When the treatment is completed a second postural assessment at the plumb line is carried out to identify postural correction.

Please contact me to discuss this therapy further, or to book an appointment.
