Yoga Therapy is the practice of simple movement and the relationships between each segment in your body. We focus on nervous system down regulation and learning to listen and communicate clearly through movement. This supports pain management and healthy long term body mechanics. Each person will find their own individual senses and sensations, proprioception (where you are in space) by way with interoception (feeling where you are in space with/through sensation). Yoga Therapy does not replace Asana/Yoga practice, it supports it and keeps your movement sound and pain free.

Achilles tendinopathy can be a painful and uncomfortable condition and can often limit recreation activities such as running. When this condition is acute, it can be a difficult condition to manage. Evidence treatment options such as laser therapy, soft tissue therapies, gentle exercises and athletic taping can aid in symptom and pain reduction. In longstanding chronic cases, shockwave therapy can be useful for improving pain and function. An emphasis on rehabilitation at this stage is also important. If you would like to discuss treatment options for Achilles tendinopathy book an initial consultation with our chiropractors and we can build a treatment plan to best suit your needs.
