Our Services

NUTRITIONNutritional therapy can be so much more than instruction on how and what to eat. Using inspiration from the functional medicine model of health care, which is an evidence based approach, looking at people as individuals and focuses on identifying imbalances. Our nutritionists use thorough consultation, assessment and diagnostic tools to identify the root cause of your nutritional imbalances.

PsychotherapyBoth Psychotherapy and Counselling fall under the umbrella term of ‘talking therapies’ where you the client works with a therapist to explore emotions, thoughts, feelings and one’s state of mind. The way we think can have a dramatic impact on not only our mental health but also our physical wellbeing. Our therapists at Live Free use a variety of techniques depending on the person and the individual situation.

CHIROPRACTIC
Chiropractors treat problems with your joints, bones and muscles, and the effects they have on your nervous system. Working on all the joints of your body, concentrating particularly on the spine, we use our hands to make gentle, specific adjustments to improve the efficiency of your nervous system and release your body’s natural healing ability.

FUNCTIONAL RANGE ASSESSMENTFRA specifically provides a framework to directly assess joint health, dysfunction and compensations that are present in so many of us in our modern worlds. It also looks at and assesses the nervous system and the control it provides over our frame as often the issue is not only a lack of motion or mobility but also a lack of control or neurological integration and feedback.

MASSAGEIf you have a long standing injury or sports injury or other aches and pains, massage can help relieve your pain. Even the pain of arthritis can benefit. If you are stressed or anxious, massage is a wonderful way to unwind and also improve your health. Athletes regularly use massage to prevent injuries. If you play sport – you should have regular massages to prevent injury too.

PREGNANCYDuring pregnancy, extra loads on the spine and pelvis can cause pain and stiffness. Gentle chiropractic care helps prepare your body for its new state, pre and post pregnancy. At Live Free we strive to offer all types of massage during the long 9 months of pregnancy.

PHYSIOTHERAPYWe’ll map out your rehabilitation programme and set goals and objectives that will help your recovery – whether that’s after surgery, a weekend of sport or just difficulty performing normal daily activities.

SPORTS TAPINGKinesiology/sports tape is a special tape that has stretch in one direction giving support to structures whilst still allowing for full range of motion. At Live Free we use and supply Kinesotape® which is the original brand of kinesiology tape developed by Dr. Kenzo Kase in Japan over 30 years ago.

DRY NEEDLINGWe use a form of acupuncture called dry needling to help with a wide variety of aches and pains to keep you at your best. The term dry needling is used to differentiate this in a western sense from the use of needles in an oriental sense.
