Spence is an accredited Clinical Nutritionist registered with Australian Natural Therapists Association (ANTA) and holds a Bachelor of Health Science (BHSc) in Nutritional and Dietetic Medicine.

Spence’s passion for natural medicine started while working through her own digestive and hormonal issues which naturally led her to become a nutritionist. Her personal experiences enable her to empathise with clients on their own health journey as well as educate them on how to support their health long term.

She is focuses on food and lifestyle interventions, functional pathology and nutraceutical supplementation through customised treatment plans to achieve optimal results.

As a practitioner, her goal is to work alongside clients to successfully manage their health and educate them to continue managing their health long term.

FAQs about medical acupuncture and dry needling at Advanced Health…

Loosening Tight Muscles

Dry needling relaxes the muscles to a similar effect as a deep tissue massage would.

What is involved?

Acupuncture needles are inserted into the muscle which causes a muscular twitch response. This is the muscle contracting and relaxing. Its normal to feel slight aching in the muscles treated after your appointment for 24 hrs! Following the achy period, your muscles should feel a lot more relaxed and any muscle spasm that was evident prior to your treatment should have resolved.

What about the science?!

Dry needling or medical acupuncture, with a similar application process to Chinese Medicine acupuncture, is a fantastic treatment used to resolve tight muscle adhesions. 20 years ago the practice was uncommon in Australia, but in the last two decades, there has been a lot of comprehensive research that has identified the huge health values associated with dry needling.

Get in touch if you have any questions. We can chat at your next consult about whether it is an appropriate treatment for you!

At our Pilates studio, we offer private and small group classes… but why?!

1. Clinical Pilates has been proven to help alleviate lower back pain. Regular reformer-based Clinical Pilates sessions can prevent back pain flare-ups;

2. Clinical Pilates can help activate internal core stabilising muscles i.e. your pelvic floor. During pregnancy, for example, reformer-based Clinical Pilates is an excellent form of gentle strength training. It is designed to strengthen the deep abdominal and pelvic floor muscles; and

3. Reformer-based Pilates is an extremely safe way to exercise if you have a history of injuring yourself at gym or during HIIT classes.

Ask us more by phone or email and we are happy to help! At your next session, check the studio - chat to us about how it can help you.

If so, you can speak to your doctor about whether you’re eligible for an EPC care plan - meaning 5 bulk billed chiropractic appointments per calendar year!
