"It is an idea! support for growing stress pain in young students and the gentle, non-invasive approach is excellent" Christine Tompson has been practicing Myorthotics for over I I years and it is part of her naturopathic treatments available at her Mermaid Waters' clinic.
"It is designed to relax contracted soft tissue placing uneven strain on the vertebrae," Christine said.
"Ballet dancers need incredible back strength and it's good support treatment to stop minor injuries becoming a problem to their craft."
The treatment system was invented in Australia focusing on our active population.
"It helps with spinal alignment, which is an essence for vitality and energy," said Ms Tompson.
"It suits athletes as well as dancers as it is very effective for relief of joint and muscle pain that often comes with intensive training programs."
The hands-on treatment takes about 20 minutes, which works in with busy schedules at the Kay Flynn Dance Academy.
"One young dancer was having hip problems due to a growth spurt and it meant cancelling from a performance unless it was relieved;" said Ms Flynn.
"The Myorthotics treatments worked and saved any disappointment." Naturopath Christine Tompson also offers overall health consultations, identifying problems using Iridology and Symptomatology. The clinic is located at 271 Rio Vista Boulevard, Mermaid Waters on the Gold Coast and Chris can be contacted on 07-55720388.
