Adam's Back At Adam's Back, our aim is to help you and your family achieve optimal health and wellbeing with our team of complimentary health care practitioners.

We offer Chiropractic care & therapeutic massage. About our logo:
The man is the Vitruvian man, an image designed by Leonardo DaVinci depicting the balance and harmony of the human frame. The aim of Chiropractic care is to correct imbalance of structure and function of the human frame for optimal health. The leaf is a fig leaf. In one example of a creation story, this is the leaf used by Adam, the first man, in the garden of Eden once he had eaten from the tree of knowledge. The knowledge gained was that we are part of nature and this knowledge came with a sense of fear that we have been separated from something greater. In our logo, the spine of the leaf and the spine of the Vitruvian man are one, as a reminder that all things are connected. Ultimately separation is an illusion as we are connected with nature and the universal intelligence that creates it. Your body has an innate ability to heal itself. Wellness is an understanding how to harness universal intelligence as a healing force as it is expressed in the innate intelligence of all living things. Your health is linked to your capacity to find balance, harmony and connection with this potential that resides within you. Disclaimer:

16/11/2025

⚑😴 Tired of the 3pm energy crash? Your food choices might be to blame!
The culprit? HIGH GLYCAEMIC INDEX FOODS that cause your blood sugar to spike and crash throughout the day.
The blood sugar rollercoaster:
9am: White toast and sugary cereal πŸ₯
10am: Blood sugar SPIKE ⬆️
11am: Energy CRASH ⬇️
11:30am: Reaching for more food because you're "starving" again 😫
Sound familiar?
Here's what's happening:
High-GI foods break down rapidly β†’ Sharp blood sugar spike β†’ Insulin surge β†’ Quick crash β†’ You feel tired, hungry, and cranky!
The better way:
9am: Oatmeal with berries, nuts, and Greek yogurt πŸ₯£
Result: Steady energy until lunch ✨
No crash, no cravings, sustained focus!
Swap high-GI for low-GI:
❌ Cornflakes (GI: 81) β†’ βœ… Steel-cut oats (GI: 55)
❌ White rice (GI: 73) β†’ βœ… Quinoa (GI: 53)
❌ White bread (GI: 75) β†’ βœ… Whole grain bread (GI: 51)
❌ Soft drink (GI: 63) β†’ βœ… Water with lemon
❌ Biscuits (GI: 70+) β†’ βœ… Apple with almond butter (GI: 36)
Benefits of low-GI eating:
πŸ’ͺ Sustained energy all day
🧠 Better focus and concentration
😊 Stable mood (no "hangry" feelings!)
πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ Improved athletic performance
βš–οΈ Easier weight management
❀️ Better heart health
πŸ“‰ Reduced diabetes risk

πŸ” What does your MOVEMENT reveal about your body?
At Adam's Back, we go beyond asking you to "stand up straight."
We observe how you ACTUALLY move because that's where the real story emerges!
What we assess:
πŸ‘£ Weight shifts – How you transfer weight, whether you favor one side
🀸 Joint coordination – How multiple joints work together, timing of muscle activation
🎯 Movement quality – Smoothness, control, symmetry, efficiency
⚠️ Compensations – Areas moving too much or not enough, muscle recruitment patterns
Why movement assessment matters:
Your habitual patterns (developed over months/years) reveal FAR MORE than how you can position yourself when consciously thinking about it.
Example scenarios we see:
Scenario 1:

Static posture looks good βœ“
But when walking, hip doesn't extend fully βœ—
Lower back compensates by moving excessively βœ—
RESULT: Lower back pain (but the problem is the HIP!)

Scenario 2:

"My right shoulder always hurts"
Assessment shows: left ankle restricted βœ—
Body compensates all the way UP the kinetic chain βœ—
Treating the shoulder alone won't fix the problem!

This is why comprehensive movement assessment is crucial!
Our approach:
βœ… Watch you perform functional movements
βœ… Identify compensation patterns
βœ… Assess mobility, stability, and proprioception
βœ… Connect symptoms to underlying causes
βœ… Create personalized treatment plans
Then we address root causes with:

Chiropractic adjustments
Soft tissue therapy
Corrective exercises
Movement education
Ergonomic guidance

You don't need pain to benefit!
Movement assessment can:

Identify risk factors BEFORE problems develop
Optimize athletic performance
Support healthy aging
Prevent recurring injuries
Enhance daily function

πŸ˜… "I just spent 6 hours spring cleaning and now I can barely move..."
Sound familiar? You're not alone!
The typical spring cleaning scenario:
Saturday morning: β˜€οΈ Beautiful day! Time to tackle that cleaning list!
Saturday afternoon: πŸ’ͺ Making great progress! Almost done!
Saturday evening: 😰 Uh oh... back is starting to hurt...
Sunday morning: 😫 Can't get out of bed. Everything hurts. What happened?!
What happened: You treated spring cleaning like a sprint instead of a marathon!
The problem:

You dove straight in without warming up
You worked for hours without proper breaks
You lifted furniture with your back instead of your legs
You stayed in awkward positions too long
You ignored early warning signs

The solution for NEXT time:
πŸ”Ή Warm up – just 5 minutes of gentle stretches prepares your body
πŸ”Ή Pace yourself – work in 20-30 minute blocks with 5-10 minute breaks
πŸ”Ή Use proper technique – especially when lifting!
πŸ”Ή Alternate tasks – switch between different movements and positions
πŸ”Ή Get help – some jobs really need two people
πŸ”Ή Listen to your body – stop when you feel tired or uncomfortable
Already overdid it THIS time?
We can help! At Adam's Back, we specialize in treating overuse injuries and strains. We'll assess what's causing your pain, provide effective treatment, and teach you strategies to prevent it happening again.

🀯 5 SURPRISING FACTS about how your shoes affect your spine:
1️⃣ Your back pain might actually START in your feet
The kinetic chain means problems at your foundation travel upward through your entire body!
2️⃣ High heels increase your lower back curve by up to 35%
This creates excessive compression on spinal joints and discs, accelerating wear and tear.
3️⃣ Flip-flops change how you WALK
You "grip" with your toes to keep them on, altering your gait and creating muscle fatigue that affects your entire body.
4️⃣ Flat feet without arch support cause your knees to collapse inward
This internal rotation travels UP, affecting hip position and creating asymmetrical spinal stress.
5️⃣ Worn-out shoes lose support you can't see
Even if they LOOK okay, compressed cushioning and collapsed structure no longer protect your spine.
The empowering truth:
While genetics play a role in foot structure, YOUR FOOTWEAR CHOICES have a massive impact on whether you develop back pain or maintain a healthy, pain-free spine! πŸ’š
What you can do TODAY:
πŸ‘Ÿ Check your shoes – are they worn, flat, or unsupportive?
πŸ‘  Reserve high heels for special occasions only
πŸ”„ Rotate between different supportive shoes
πŸ“ Look for: structural support, stable heel counter, good cushioning, proper fit
πŸ—“οΈ Replace shoes every 8-12 months of regular wear

😫 Living with chronic back pain?

Your discs might be trying to tell you something.
Spinal discs are the unsung heroes of your spine – shock-absorbing cushions that allow movement and protect your bones. When they're unhealthy, you feel it. When they're healthy, you barely notice them. That's how it should be! ✨
Common signs of disc problems:

Persistent back or neck pain
Pain radiating down arms or legs
Stiffness, especially in the morning
Difficulty with certain movements
Pain that worsens with sitting or standing

Here's what most people don't realize:
Disc health isn't about luck or just aging – it's about CHOICES you make every single day.
The daily habits that matter most:
πŸ’§ Hydration – discs are mostly water and need constant replenishment
🚢 Movement – discs rely on movement for nutrition (no blood supply!)
πŸ₯— Nutrition – protein, healthy fats, and key vitamins support disc structure
πŸ’ͺ Core strength – strong muscles reduce disc compression
🎯 Proper alignment – optimal spinal function protects discs from abnormal stress
At Adam's Back, we don't just treat symptoms – we address ROOT CAUSES. Our comprehensive approach includes:
βœ“ Spinal mobility assessment & optimisation
βœ“ Personalised exercise programs
βœ“ Postural education & correction
βœ“ Lifestyle guidance for long-term disc health
βœ“ Gentle, effective chiropractic care

😫 Does your knee pain seem to have no clear cause?
The answer might lie in your knee ALIGNMENT πŸ”
Many people don't realise that how their knees align directly affects:
πŸ’₯ Joint stress and wear
πŸ’₯ How weight distributes through the knee
πŸ’₯ Muscle loading and injury risk
πŸ’₯ Pain patterns
πŸ’₯ Long-term joint health
Common alignment issues that contribute to pain:
Knock knees β†’ increased stress on inner knee joint
Bow legs β†’ increased stress on outer knee joint
Misalignment from hip/spine problems β†’ compensatory strain
But here's the good news: Understanding your alignment is the first step to addressing pain at its SOURCE rather than just treating symptoms.
At Adam's Back, we assess your entire kinetic chain – spine, hips, knees, ankles, and feet – because they're all connected. A problem starting in your feet can end up as knee pain. A hip imbalance affects your knees. Spinal misalignment alters muscle control.
True pain relief requires addressing ROOT CAUSES πŸ’ͺ

Don't just treat the pain – address the cause.

πŸ€°πŸ’š Pregnancy back pain isn't something you just have to "deal with"
Your body is doing the incredible work of creating new life – and that comes with some serious biomechanical challenges!
What's happening to your spine during pregnancy:

Your center of gravity shifts forward
Relaxin hormone loosens ligaments (making joints less stable)
Added weight increases pressure on spinal discs
Your pelvis tilts forward, deepening your lower back curve
Up to 70% of pregnant women experience back pain!

The good news? There are ways to find relief:
βœ… Specific chiropractic care for pregnancy
βœ… Proper posture and body mechanics
βœ… Pregnancy-appropriate exercises and stretches
βœ… Sleep positioning tips
βœ… Maternity support options

At Adam's Back, we provide gentle, pregnancy-specific care to help you feel comfortable throughout your journey. You're growing a miracle – let us help your body feel its best while you do πŸ’•

😫 Dealing with frequent tingling, numbness, or that "asleep" feeling in your limbs?
You're not alone – and you don't have to just live with it!
While temporarily "cutting off circulation" by sitting wrong is normal, persistent pins and needles often indicate:

Nerve irritation from spinal misalignment
Joint restrictions affecting nerve pathways
Poor posture putting pressure on nerves
Muscle tension compressing nerve channels

Here's what many people don't realize:
Your spine protects your spinal cord, where ALL peripheral nerves branch from. When vertebrae misalign or joints don't move properly, they can irritate nearby nerves – causing tingling, numbness, or pain radiating to your arms, hands, legs, or feet.
How we help at Adam's Back:
πŸ” Comprehensive assessment of your spine & joints
βœ‹ Gentle adjustments to restore proper alignment
πŸ’ͺ Soft tissue therapy to release nerve-compressing tension
πŸ“ Posture & ergonomic guidance
