Age, occupation, postural imbalances, historical traumas, and underlying conditions are just some of the factors that contribute to your baseline when you initially seek care. 🤕👩🦳👩🔬
Identifying this through a thorough health history, comprehensive spinal assessment, and radiographic imaging gives us the ability to curate a roadmap of care that is specifically designed to improve your baseline.

There is going around at the moment a Mitre 10 shopping experience questionnaire with Masport Motor Mowers as the prize - minus the shipping costs.
This is a scam.
So too is the Life Pharmacy/ Oral B survey

But for Evelyn Page Retirement Village resident Leonie, it is a game of skill that has brought her 40 years of friendship, camaraderie and many fun-filled experiences and memories.
So much so, that she has dedicated most of the last 20-plus years to umpiring the game. It is her way of giving back, she says, and now she is lending those skills to the upcoming trans-Tasman inter-village Ryman Roll Up.

Where do scams take place?
Over the phone, via text message, via email, online or even in person.
What red flags should you be looking out for? Ask yourself these questions...
- Were you expecting this message? or was it out of the blue?
- Are they saying there's a problem which you didn't anticipate?
- Are you having to give money over?
- Are you being rushed?
- Are you being told to click on a link or go to an unfamiliar website?
- Are you being asked to share personal info or passwords?
- Are you being asked to pay in a strange way like wire transfer, gift cards, etc
- Does something not feel right? Do you feel confused?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, it's best to stop communicating and seek support. But if you've already given over money, contact your bank immediately.
You can check if it's a scam by contacting |Netsafe|:
- Toll-free on 0508 NETSAFE (0508 638 723) or +6496660840 if calling from outside New Zealand
- Emailing help@netsafe.org.nz
If you're pretty sure it's a scam, make a report at netsafe.org.nz

Got a 2008 Forester SUV for sale at just over $9000.
This would be purchaser wanted to pay me weekly for the vehicle.
Yeah, right.
If the vehicle was for under $3000 there might be an element of sensibility. I suppose when one is short of cash aiming high provides some kind of relief mechanism.
The Subaru Forester with a low mileage of 148000km, a tow bar, many features and in good to great condition all round is still available.
