Chiropractic
Chiropractic is a holistic healthcare approach that focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal disorders, particularly those related to the spine.
Chiropractors use hands-on spinal manipulation and other manual techniques to improve alignment, relieve pain, and support the body's natural ability to heal. By enhancing the function of the nervous system, chiropractic care promotes overall health and well-being, offering a drug-free alternative for pain management and improved mobility.
Whether for injury recovery, chronic pain relief, or general wellness, chiropractic care offers a natural solution tailored to your needs.
Developing a Focused Care Plan
At The Bio Mechanix, our team takes a unique, co-management approach to your health and wellness, giving you the best chance for success.

Frequently Asked Questions
Absolutely not. Our care is gentle and focused to what your body needs for success. Most patients remark that its relaxing and one of the best parts of their day. If you’re ever uncomfortable, please let us know.
The choice to visit our practice for care after you feel better is entirely up to you. Many of our patients choose to make visiting us a regular part of their life simply because they love how they feel and want to maintain it, rather than risk re-injury. We call this a chiropractic lifestyle.
Because each patient is unique, it’s difficult to say exactly how long it will take you to feel better, but rest assured we’ll do everything we can as quickly as possible to bring you out of pain and into wellness. We believe in making you an active partner in your journey, and want to help you understand how and why chiropractic care can work for you so that you can stay well for the long term. When you come in for your first couple of visits, we’ll be better able to provide you with a proper estimate on when you may be able to see results.

Osteopathy
If you are unfamiliar with osteopathy it is very similar to the examination, assessment and exercise prescription you would receive from a physiotherapist. However osteopaths may also use specific osteopathic techniques to manipulate and mobilize joints and soft tissues, to improve the body's function.
When working towards alleviating your pain an Osteopath will consider you holistically. This mean that they will not only examine how you move or where you are experiencing pain or restriction, but will also help you understand how diet, sleep, social, and spiritual relationships can all have an impact on your experience of pain and how you feel within your body.
How Can Osteopathy Help?
Our bodies are intricately designed to self-heal through a complex network of physiological processes that work harmoniously to repair and regenerate damaged tissues. Osteopathy recognizes the capacity of the musculoskeletal system to influence and even address these natural processes. Osteopaths are taught that the musculoskeletal system acts as a critical regulator of health and wellness, providing a way to access and assist the body's natural processes when they become overwhelmed or imbalanced.
While we are beautifully structured machines, designed to move and regenerate, the demands of modern life can take a toll on our bodies, causing them to become disturbed and imbalanced. This can lead to a range of health issues, including disease, discomfort, pain, and breakdown or burnout. There are various reasons for this, including:
- Prolonged sitting at work, leading to stiffness and stagnation.
- Excessive and rigorous exercise causing overload issues.
- Unavoidable psychological stress manifesting as bodily symptoms.
In short, we can become overwhelmed, overloaded, and imbalanced due to various reasons. While these issues may resolve naturally over time and space, the luxury of time and space is not always feasible. Therefore, we may require professional help to get back to a place of balance, without pain, aches, and disease.
As osteopaths, we develop a sense of feeling through our hands using palpation, a physical act that continually develops through our career, during assessments of the body. We palpate to detect areas that are overly tight, inflamed, or sensitized, or areas that are hardened, ropey, or stiff. We feel through the muscles and joints, searching for subtle or obvious restrictions and checking if joints are not moving or gliding as smoothly as they should, or even moving excessively. Our targeted treatment can then help you feel and move better, reducing tension and stress, and improving flow, which can ultimately assist in pain reduction and the revitalisation of the natural healing mechanisms within your body

Why Remedial/Deep Tissue Massage
The human body is born to express health. As a result the human body is ‘intelligent’ as such and will adapt to the changing environment so to keep you functional within that environment.
With this fact in mind, unless your muscles are subject to direct trauma (e.g. physically hit), they will tighten up to provide the necessary ‘scaffolding’ for a part of the human frame that is not structurally and functional sound. Muscles do not tighten up because they simply feel like it! They tighten for a very good and functional reason. Does this mean we should not receive massage? Not at all…
Massage is extremely beneficial (a list of all the benefits are below), however, we have found a combination of addressing the muscular tightness (massage) and keeping the human structure functional (chiropractic) results in a more effective and lasting outcome. There are strong evidence and research to back this up too.
At The Bio Mechanix, we recommend both chiropractic and massage together however whether you prefer one or the other, we are here to serve you.
Benefits of Remedial/Deep Tissue Massage
Remedial/Deep Tissue massage (SRM) has many benefits. In the modern world, where such a large percentage of time is spent sitting, massage can be vital in undoing the negative effects of our lifestyle. Patients who receive regular massage have shown that SRM can help in restoring function by:
- Improving posture
- Reducing back pain/general aches & pains
- Reducing tension headaches
- Improving mobility
- Improving circulation
- Improving injuries
Massage can also benefit patients physiologically. Patients report that treatment has also had the effect of improving the quality of their sleep, reducing their fatigue, and perhaps most importantly, improving their overall state of wellbeing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Massage is designed to relieve tension, promote relaxation, reduce stress and help you feel better. Most massages will be completely relaxing and pain free. In some cases, there may be the need to apply pressure to problem areas or certain trigger points that are very tense. We’ll always let you know in advance so we don’t startle you. Everyone has different pain tolerances, if the pressure is too painful, please let us know right away as it can always be adjusted.
This depends on your unique goals and the plan set forth with your practitioner. Generally, patients visit us as often as every week, every month or every few months. The choice is entirely up to you, though we can certainly recommend a timespan that will work to bring you relief and the best results.
During a massage, it is necessary to remove your clothing so that we’re able to work all of the muscles in your back and shoulders equally. However, we can assure you that you will be covered with a sheet and never exposed, retaining modesty as best as we can. We always want you to feel comfortable in our care.
This largely depends on your unique problem. At your first visit, we’ll be able to better assess how we can help you and develop a plan to move forward. If you’re already a patient with us under chiropractic care, we can work with your chiropractor to build the perfect sessions for you to help build upon your progress.

Acupuncture / Dry Needling
Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medicine practice that involves inserting fine needles into specific points on the body to balance energy flow (Qi) and promote natural healing. It's commonly used to relieve pain, reduce stress, and support overall wellness.
Dry Needling, on the other hand, is a modern technique used by healthcare professionals to target muscular pain and trigger points. It involves inserting thin needles into tight or knotted muscles to release tension and improve movement.
While both use similar tools, their approaches and underlying philosophies differ—acupuncture focuses on energy flow and holistic health, while dry needling is rooted in Western medicine and muscle therapy.
Acupuncture – How It Works (Biological Explanation)
Modern research shows that acupuncture stimulates the nervous system. When needles are inserted into specific points: Nerve fibers are activated, sending signals to the spinal cord and brain. This triggers the release of endorphins, serotonin, and other neurotransmitters that reduce pain and promote a sense of well-being. It also improves blood flow and modulates the autonomic nervous system, helping to reduce inflammation and support tissue healing.
So while traditional Chinese medicine describes acupuncture as restoring the flow of "Qi" (vital energy), scientifically it appears to work by influencing the nervous system, hormone levels, and immune response.
Dry Needling – How It Works (Scientific/Anatomical Explanation)
Dry needling is based on Western anatomy and targets trigger points—tight, painful knots in muscles. When a needle is inserted into a trigger point, it often causes a twitch response, which is a brief contraction followed by muscle relaxation. This helps release tension, improve blood flow, and reduce the chemicals in muscle tissue that cause pain.
It also stimulates local healing responses, including tissue repair and reduced nerve irritation. Dry needling disrupts the pain cycle and restores normal function by directly treating the muscle dysfunction.
Integrative Clinical Hypnotherapy
The term hypnosis encompasses a variety of naturally occurring states of consciousness, that we enter into spontaneously on a daily basis.
For example, have you ever taken a journey and reached your destination and not remembered the journey? Have you ever daydreamed? Have you ever sat in a presentation and you were 100% focused on the presenter and the material being presented? Have you ever sat in a presentation and your mind drifted away from the presenter and the material being presented? Have you ever been doing something you enjoyed to the complete exclusion of anything or anyone around you, like watching a film, listening to music, reading a book or enjoying a hobby or pastime?
Well, these are all hypnotic states that we experience spontaneously every day. When we practice hypnosis, we allow ourselves to follow instructions, given by ourselves or by someone else (the hypnotist), to enter into these natural states of consciousness with intention and through choice.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Following on from the definition of hypnosis, we can further define hypnotherapy as - during these naturally occurring hypnotic states the subconscious part of our mind (who we are) becomes more accessible and more receptive to positive suggestions that we find acceptable to us. So if you have a desire to be more motivated or to have more confidence, then in these states when suggestions are given to support what you desire, they become more amplified, helping you to achieve what you desire.
Hypnotherapy uses these natural states to deliver therapeutic suggestions and therapeutic processes, which help you to achieve the positive outcomes that you desire.
What is Integrative Clinical Hypnotherapy?
Integrative clinical hypnotherapy is a comprehensive, evidence-informed therapeutic approach that blends the structured use of clinical hypnosis with a wide range of established psychotherapeutic methods. It is designed to treat emotional, psychological, and physical conditions by accessing both the conscious and subconscious mind in a safe, focused, and client-centered way.
This approach recognises that each person is unique, and therefore draws upon multiple therapeutic frameworks—such as Rational Emotive Behavioural Therapy (REBT), psychodynamic therapy, Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques—to tailor interventions to the individual’s specific needs, goals, and psychological makeup.
Rather than relying on a one-size-fits-all model, integrative clinical hypnotherapy offers a flexible and holistic path to healing and transformation. It respects the complex interplay of mind, body, and emotion, and aims not only to alleviate symptoms but also to uncover and address the root causes of psychological distress. This method empowers individuals to access inner resources, shift limiting beliefs, and develop new patterns of thought, behaviour, and emotional response, often more quickly and deeply than with traditional talk therapy alone.
