Our Principles.
Chiropratic Therapy
• In principle, Your body is self-healing and self-regulating.
• Every function in your body is coordinated and controlled by your nervous system (brain, spinal cord and nerves)
• If interference or damage occurs to your nervous system, there is a reduction in the capacity of the body to self-heal and self regulate. This can manifest as pain, dysfunction or poor health.
• Your spine houses and protects your nervous system, but if jammed or misaligned, it can distort the transmission of nerve messages.
• Any area of the spine that has lost normal movement or alignment can cause interference to your nervous system, thus changing function.
• Any uncorrected jamming or associated compensation in the skeletal system (spine, pelvis, shoulders, arms and legs) can cause pain, postural change and a reduction in physical ability.
• Through gentle manipulation and adjustment, Chiropractic treatment can help to reduce pain, restore movement return the body to its full expression of wellness.

Sports Therapy
Sports Therapy is an aspect of healthcare that is specifically concerned with the prevention of injury and the rehabilitation of the patient back to optimum levels of functional, occupational and sports specific fitness, regardless of age and ability.
It utilises the principles of sport and exercise sciences incorporating physiological and pathological processes to prepare the participant for training, competition and where applicable, work.
Its not necessary to be athletic in order to benefit from sports massage. As well as making sure local athletes are in prime condition for their next competition, Tidal Therapy at Smart Health regularly treats clients with persistent musculoskeletal problems obtained from life situations.
Repetitive postures, immobility, injury or sprains all produce problems that can be helped by regular sports massage or a program of rehabilitation and an initial consultation will help us determine the appropriate course of action and the most effective techniques to employ.
Massage Therapy
While there are a wide range of massage techniques, there are certain basic principles they all tend to hold in common.
Release of Tension. Chronic muscular tension as a result of high stress lifestyles, trauma, or injury can accumulate and impair the body’s structure and function. Psychological well-being is also affected. Release of tension allows greater relaxation, which has important physiological and psychological benefits.
Circulation of Blood. Perhaps the most basic principle in this field is that improved blood circulation is beneficial for virtually all health conditions.
Release of Toxins. Chronic tension or trauma to the soft tissues of the body can result in the buildup of toxic by-products of normal metabolism. Hands-on techniques help move the toxins through the body’s elimination pathways.
Structure and Function. Massage therapy can help restore healthy structure and function, thereby facilitating greater ease and range of movement, increased flexibility, and the release of chronic patterns of tension.
Enhancement of health. All bodily systems are assisted by better circulation and more harmonious functioning of the soft tissue and musculature. Internal organ systems as well as the nervous system, the immune system, and other systems can benefit. There can be an overall improvement in the quality of life and physical wellbeing.
A few words about us.
