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! 👇
💥 Spinal Misalignment
🦵 Uneven Leg length
🏃♀ Altered Gait
💪 Muscle Imbalances
🦶 Knee & Foot Issues
🤸 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.
So if you've been looking for improvement in your Samba, get in touch with us! We would love to help 💃🕺.

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 whānau.

So much so that I was part of a small team of advocates some years ago under the chairmanship of Kerry Prendergast.
But pipes for water and sewerage are now such a huge issue for Wellington and Lower Hutt in particular and somewhat in Porirua. So much so that Upper Hutt would be foolish to want to amalgamate and help carry the burden of the billions of dollars required to bring the piping up to the reasonable standard enjoyed by Upper Hutt residents.
Perhaps there is a way around it. Central Government might want to step in and provide taxation dollars to fix the problem that sees a wastage of upwards of 50% of water from burst and leaking water pipes and sewerage piping also leaking and contaminating streams which flow into the sea. And thus "pave the way" for a level playing field for ratepayers and the local councils in the region to join forces under one umbrella, one city.

"Dave next door is the best - we live in an apartment block in the CBD and every day he gets up and cleans the driveway- always puts out everyone’s rubbish bins and scrubs them out every time they are emptied. He cleaned around our pool area after a storm recently as we were busy at work. He is always first to help others whenever he can whether they have an issue with their unit or a stranger having car trouble out on the street - They don’t come better!"
If you have a Nice Neighbour, don't keep it to yourself. You might win a $25 Prezzy® card each and a shoutout on Stuff. Go on, nominate them now!

"Just starting to sort my images for the 2024 Calendar and have decided this cheeky fellow makes the cut. I'm thinking he might become a painting too at some point. Kaka/ Brown Parrot (Nestor meridionalis) on Stewart Island - their heads are noticeably more white than the ones we get around Wellington."
