McTimoney chiropractic
A holistic, whole-body form of chiropractic that uses light, precise adjustments rather than force.
A whole-body approach
Rather than focusing only on the area of discomfort, a McTimoney chiropractor assesses the whole body, looking at how joints, muscles and posture work together.
Adjustments aim to help the body, and the nervous system in particular, work without disturbance. Your practitioner will explain what they find and talk through options with you before any treatment.
The toggle adjustment
McTimoney chiropractors use a technique known as the toggle. It is a very fast, light movement of the hand that relies on speed and precision rather than force.
Care at different stages of life
Because the adjustments are light, the McTimoney approach may be suitable for people at many stages of life, including babies, pregnant people and older adults.
Not every technique is right for every person. Your practitioner will assess you individually and use their clinical judgement about what is appropriate. Please tell us about your circumstances when you book.
