I first visited Alice and her Alive Healthcare Centre after I had slipped a disc between C6/C7. Although this was the immediate symptom and problem it was the result of years of poor movement and abuse. Although physically healthy and exercising regularly we often take for granted our general well-being; including nutrition, lifestyle and movement patterns. I had seen many physio’s, chiropractors and medical doctors to help although none came close to helping me the way Alice did; healing the immediate pain and most importantly correcting the bad habits that caused the accident to happen in the first place.
Alice immediately understood what had happened and provided effective treatment to ease the pain with acupuncture, massage and various manipulations. I have continued to regularly see Alice as part of my commitment to ongoing health and commitment to quality of life and living a pain free life. Alice has taught me to strengthen all the surrounding muscles of my neck and shoulder area which not only fixed my neck pain but strengthened my entire posture; increasing energy levels, reducing fatigue and improving overall sports and physical performance. Not only is Alice a guru with respect to physiotherapy but she also helps you gain a deeper understanding of your own body and provides lessons and exercises that help you fix yourself for the long term. This is in contrast to most other medical professionals which fix the symptom but not the cause.
I thank Alice for returning me to long term health and would highly recommend everyone visits her – whether in good health or poor.
Happy, healthy life to all.
