My glute cramped HARD during a motorcycle ride. Here’s the science-based approach I took straight away to ensure proper recovery and no loss of mobility.

1. Initial injury
2. ROM check before care
3. Roll out residual swelling/cramped muscle tissue
4-6. Core activation
7. 60kg RDL’s (training glute in full stretch)
8. 40kg hip thrusts (training glute in full contraction. No more cramping at this point)
9. Celebrate

This approach was specific to my case. Consult me in the clinic if you have any questions regarding your injury recovery strategies.

The team at Back in Balance spent the weekend in Adelaide for hosted by the Adelaide College of Chiropractic.
These events are important for our team to learn about current research, learn from others experiences, and reinvigorate our passion for having the greatest job in the world 🙏
We are looking forward to taking care of you all this week to get you to the best version of yourself before Easter.

Our chiro team had an incredible time attending Concordia 2026 - organised by - over the weekend 💫

We came away feeling truly inspired, having learned from some of the latest research and insights in the profession. It’s always energising to connect, grow, and bring back new ideas that help us better support our patients every day.

We’re so excited to integrate what we’ve learned into the clinic and continue delivering the highest level of care to our community 💙

A special highlight for us was being able to sponsor a first-year Canberran chiropractic student - Zoe Hawson - through Back in Balance to attend the event. Supporting the next generation of chiropractors is something we’re really passionate about.

Learning by day, celebrating by night 🦸🏻‍♀️😉 Swipe to see some of the team flexing their dress up skills at the movie themed ball.

Fresh from the garden this morning 😊

There’s something so satisfying about pulling fresh food from the garden! A good reminder that when you give something the right care and the right environment… it grows the way it’s meant to.

Your body is no different 🌱

Spinal care isn’t just about joints and muscles, it’s closely linked to how your brain and nervous system function.

A 2024 randomised controlled trial looked at people with chronic low back pain receiving chiropractic care over four weeks. The researchers found measurable changes in brain activity, alongside patient-reported improvements in areas like sleep quality, fatigue, and emotional wellbeing.

Everyone responds differently, but studies like this help us better understand the relationship between spinal function, the nervous system, and overall wellbeing — not just pain levels.

As we head into the new year, being well adjusted can help you show up with more energy and resilience, so you can make the most of time with family and friends.

POLL: how many times did you exercise in the past week?

Gun show alert! 🚨
Today I was pushed to the limit at the gym with my wife Sarah (you will meet her in the clinic soon as she will be working Mondays and Saturdays 🕺🏼) and our office manager and my mum Wendy.
Sarah and I always get nervous before a workout with Wendy. She eggs us on because she knows exactly how beneficial INTENSE, HEAVY exercise is. I mean just look at those guns. She wants to keep fit until she is 90. She is headed exactly in that direction.
Strength training helps maintain and build muscle mass, boosting metabolism, preserving bone density and functional independence in later years. Time to pick up some heavy weight and start to find your strength. (Moro et al., 2021)

Ever wondered why you feel a little sharper after your adjustment?

A recent randomized controlled trial on active-duty military personnel found that just one chiropractic adjustment resulted in a 14.8% improvement in reaction time compared to controls.
That’s nearly 100 milliseconds faster.

• In sport → that can be the difference between a catch and a miss.
• In driving → the difference between braking in time or too late.
• In everyday life → better balance, quicker reflexes, more coordinated movement.

Chiropractic care isn’t just about pain — it’s about supporting the nervous system so your body can process and react efficiently. The spine is the communication highway. When it moves well, you move well.

If you train, play sport, or just want to stay sharp and responsive — chiropractic may help support that edge.
