Have you ever felt like your pelvis & hips aren't quite as balanced as they should be? Or that your legs aren't quite the same length? ๐Ÿง
Pelvic imbalance and dysfunction is an extremely common presentation that we see in practice.
Repetitive stressors, postural changes, and historical injuries can all contribute in creating dysfunction within the pelvic girdle, and that can lead to various compensations throughout the body! ๐Ÿ‘‡
๐Ÿ’ฅ Spinal Misalignment
๐Ÿฆต Uneven Leg length
๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€ Altered Gait
๐Ÿ’ช Muscle Imbalances
๐Ÿฆถ Knee & Foot Issues
๐Ÿคธ Restricted Range of Motion

At The Chiro, our detailed assessment of the pelvis includes range of motion and postural testing, muscle strength assessment and spinal analysis. We also utilise X-ray to get accurate measurements to determine the extent of the imbalance.

Everyone deserves a warm, dry, healthy home โ€“ see if youโ€™re eligible for financial support to insulate and heat yours.

Warmer Kiwi Homes is a government grant that offers 80% - 90% of the cost of ceiling and underfloor insulation, and up to 80% off an energy-efficient heater, like a heat pump. In August, the eligibility criteria were extended so over 50,000 more households are eligible for insulation grants.

And you may get it even cheaper than that - lots of community organisations offer extra funding to reduce the cost further.

Check your eligibility, or check for your whฤnau.

"Talk about special! Our garden had a lovely fleeting visit this morning.
I heard the tune, and knew instantly it wasn't a Tui!
A Korimako, our native Bellbird are often heard but rarely seen. To have one flitting around our place was so wonderful to see, and hear. The blue around the Korimako's bill and face is pollen from our native fuschia. Over the past few days the luck I've had in our garden has been amazing. Karori is one great place to see a range of native, and sometimes rare and beautiful wildlife."
