Looking back, there are two experiences which made me rethink everything I thought I knew about health.
Hi, I’m Josh, the founder of Tonic Chiropractic.
I used to think health was pretty black and white.
You’re either optimal or dysfunctional.
And being optimal meant shielding yourself away from daily stresses, while symptoms were something to actively suppress.
Then a few years into my practice, I suddenly experienced facial paralysis.
After spent months and months trying to improve and heal, I realised that health is not about being optimal all the time because it’s impossible.
And symptoms should not be suppressed, but should be acknowledged and used to figure out why your body is angry about something.
Then a few years later, when I thought I had it all figured out, I was on a trip to Sri Lanka and I got bitten by a highly venomous snake.
There was no antivenom for this particular viper.
So it was a case of lying in a bleak hospital for days, having to wait and see.
This experience taught me that being healthy is actually about resilience
It taught me that we all have the ability to heal and recover from stresses, from injuries, from snake bites, from back pain, neck pain, whatever it may be.
It led me to help others experiencing dysfunction.
And having helped thousands of people go from feeling uncomfortable to just enjoying the stuff they love…
I decided to create tonic chiropractic to form a space where looking after yourself is easy.
To form a space where people can feel and function like themselves again with the help of expert chiropractic care.
So if you’re someone watching this video and you experience discomfort, like back pain, neck pain, headaches, then please reach out.
I can’t wait to meet you and see if we can help.
