Sometimes the only way to read an X-Ray is with natural light!!ūü§£ūü§ď
These are the X-rays of an extremely resilient patient’s spine. Not only did she have all of this metal work put in to correct her Scoliosis but she also had to have it all removed! She is now working super hard at her Schroth exercises and finding benefit from functional dry needling to relieve secondary symptoms of pain.
Keep up the great work!!

Best start to the weekend! ūüíÉūüŹľūüí™ūüŹľ Thank you Orlaith Talty, Paul and Ashline Carragher and Pilates At Windsor Hill for helping to feed my reformer addiction!
Pilates is a great way to condition your body in all the right ways. It helps to lengthen and strengthen your muscles, to add stability to your joints and it allows for faster recovery post performance. ūüŹčūüŹľ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūü§łūüŹľ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūü§ĺūüŹ ĺ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹ‚õĻūüŹĽ‚Äć‚ôÄÔłŹūüŹĆūüŹŅ‚Äć‚ôā ÔłŹ #physio ... #Pilates #recovery #pilatesreformer

Great 3-days in Elmwood Physiotherapy Belfast running the Scoliosis Clinic. Makes my job easy when my patients are already super motivated and keen to achieve successful results. Looking forward to seeing their progress in a few weeks. I will be in Belfast on Tuesdays for the next few weeks continuing to see Scoliosis patients but also all Orthopaedic and sports related injuries. Please feel free to shoot me a message with any queries.

Best outcomes occur when all aspects of an individuals health are addressed. Weight loss can often prevent surgery in cases of joint replacement. #physio #conservativemanagement

Concussion is a very complex condition that should never be underestimated! #concussion #Completeconcussionmanagement #physiotherapy

Unsure what the Schroth method for Scoliosis is? Take a look at this video to get more of an idea. One of my fab Scoliosis patients working hard to correct her double curve!!

Early Identification of Scoliosis will allow for early treatment! The sooner treatment starts the better the outcome.
Keep an eye on the young people in your life as Scoliosis most often develops in the early teens. Scoliosis is a condition that gets worse over time so it is never too late to seek treatment. The sooner the better! :)

When in Berlin... do Pilates! ūü§óūüí™ūüŹľūüĎĆūüŹľūüíÉūüŹľ Great session with the fab Sara Pilates! Thank you! Always good to get a weekly reformer session in but especially for me while I‚Äôm travelling! ‚úąÔłŹ ūüöā Have to keep moving! #lovewhatyoudo #pilates #pilatesreformer

Happy International Scoliosis Awareness day! Scoliosis is a 3D change in the shape of the spine. It will appear like a "C" or "S" shape when looking at the person from behind. It can have major implications on the individual who is affected and the sooner it is diagnosed and treated the better the outcome for the person. On average an adult scoliosis gets worse by 0.5-2 degrees Cobb angle every year!!! I will be offering a Three Day Scoliosis Clinic in Belfast July 24th-26th. See poster for details. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you wish for further information. :) #ISAD #gotyourback18 #scoliosis #scoliosisawarenessmonth

Attempts are being made to tackle the ever increasing waitlist times for consultation and surgery for Scoliosis. The same lengthy waitlists are also a major problem in Northern Ireland. Physiotherapy can help better prepare an individual for the surgery and in some cases prevent the need for surgery at all! Best treatment is early identification!! #Bescoliaware #gotyourback18

Niamh is an excellent physiotherapist! She helped me recover from a fairly serious injury and I can’t thank her enough!
