Do you have a twinge of self-consciousness when you look in the mirror? Men do you wish you were a little taller, more athletic looking? Women, do you wish you had a flatter stomach, smaller backside and a breast lift? While some or all of these things feature on many people's wish list, most don't do anything about it because they think the only real solutions are invasive surgery procedures or months and months of dieting and exercising hell. That's all changed now with a revolutionary new non-invasive treatment that fixes your posture making you look better, move better and feel better. It's the start of a new decade; it really is time to start looking after your health and your body. A revolutionary treatment A revolutionary new chiropractic procedure from the USA improves your posture in just a few weeks of short 10-15 minute sessions. The method, called Advanced Biostructural Correction (ABC), uses specialized postural neck stretches along with gentle mobilizations /manipulations of the spine, pelvis and feet to improve the patient's posture. There is no neck cracking and unlike most other chiropractic or physiotherapy treatments, you aren't required to keep up an intricate exercise schedule between visits. The results of this non-invasive method of postural correction are incredible. After treatment people stand up to two inches taller and appear to have lost up to five kilograms in weight. How does it work? We are not naturally sedentary creatures. We did not evolve to sit at our desks or in front of the television for hours and hours every day. As a result of modern living many people develop stooped "rounded" shoulders, pushing their head forward to an unnatural position. This position interrupts the signals which travel from the brain, down the spinal column and to our bodies. These signals control everything that happens in our bodies, including how our muscles, organs and hormones function. ABC practitioners gently manipulate the spine to unblock the pathways these signals travel along. In doing so, the head is drawn back and up, giving patients up to two inches more in height; shoulder position is improved, with shoulders being drawn back and chest out; core muscles are activated, pulling in the stomach and waist; and hips are properly aligned under the torso, drawing the bottom under the spine, giving the appearance of a smaller backside. What makes ABC different? First and foremost, unlike most traditional chiropractic methods, ABC treatments do not involve cracking the neck. Specific postural neck stretches are applied to the neck to relieve pressure, reducing any pain experienced by the patient. In addition, postural correction - with all of the accompanying benefits - takes just four to eight weeks (depending on your age and degree of postural changes). The best part is that patients receiving ABC treatment are not required to spend hours and hours exercising at home or in the gym to receive outstanding results. In fact, the ABC practitioner does all the hard work! Who is it suitable for? "ABC is suitable for patients of all ages and mobility, from children through to the elderly," says Adam Meredith of North Sydney Spine and Health. "Everyone shows a marked improvement in their posture, pain relief and appearance. I apply ABC to children, teenagers, office workers and elderly clients ,all with great results. I find that the elderly show a dramatic response to postural correction, with improvements to their pain, balance and carriage being most significant. As a practitioner, I find the resulting improvement to their quality of life extremely satisfying." It's not all about vanity While many patients report an increased level of general well-being and confidence, the health benefits of ABC treatment can't be overlooked. ABC postural correction also works towards:
Sam* suffered from two to three migraines every week and daily headaches. "I had been to see countless neurologists and other medical experts but to no avail. I was taking medication that was putting a strain on my kidneys and just generally making me feel unwell," Sam says. "After two months of postural treatment my migraines dramatically improved, I began to sleep better, feel more relaxed and enjoy a headache free life again!" Ask the professionals Adam Meredith, a chiropractor of ten years and university lecturer, converted his practice to the ABC method five years ago after attending a lecture given by a visiting American professional. He is convinced that the ABC method gives the greatest benefits to patients in the least amount of time. "ABC concentrates on correcting the posture because poor posture, in addition to being unattractive, is often the cause of many health complaints," he says. "In addition to the easing of specific complaints, my patients report that they generally feel better, move better and sleep better after just a couple of sessions." Although ABC isn't an ‘instant fix', Adam says that he often see results much faster than with traditional chiropractic methods. "Although the exact number of treatments required varies from person to person, my patients have generally completed their treatment in just four to eight weeks," he says. Case Study: George* "George is an elderly man," says Adam Meredith of North Sydney Spine and Health. "He came to me very depressed because his poor posture had upset his balance. George is a keen lawn bowler and he had to give up his sport because he couldn't play without falling over." George received treatment which corrected his posture. As a result, George stood straighter and taller and his balance was exponentially improved. "The treatment received amazing results," says Adam, "and George returned to his favourite past-time after four weeks." Case Study : Emma* Emma came to North Sydney Spine and Health wanting to improve her posture, which affected her self-confidence. "Emma was a perfect candidate for ABC postural correction," says Adam Meredith. "She wasn't experiencing any pain, but she wanted to look and feel better about herself." After undergoing postural correction, Emma not only had a more desirable carriage, she stood noticeably taller. "At the conclusion of my treatment I looked much slimmer and felt more confident about myself," Emma says. *Names are changed for the privacy of the patients.
The Spine and Health centre was founded by Adam Meredith 8 years ago in North Sydney. There are now three conveniently located centres in North Sydney, Crows Nest and Mosman. Press release published by Seeking Media. www.seekingmedia.com.au |
