Correcting American Posture
Mr. F. is a 28 year old male garden worker who attended the Practice with what we call ‘American Posture’.
This is a real patient within the Clinic, with untouched photographs.
And yes, he was only 26 when he started care. He was suffering with chronic low back pain (CLBP). He had been enduring spinal pain for 10 years and things were getting progressively worse.
In terms of postural distortion; Mr. F. had what we affectionally call an ‘American Posture’. American Posture is a very common structural disturbance we see in a clinic. And as the name suggests it is very common postural problem within America.
American posture can come in different shapes and sizes. It is a driver of many lower back and neck conditions. As well chronic pain and disability.

Rowing: Capital Punishment or Sport?
The Only Sport That Originated As Capital Punishment
In ancient Rome, Rowing on galleys was a form of capital punishment. It was torturous, fatiguing, repetitive and ridiculously hard work, with many dying in the process.

Incorrectly fitted bags can cause your child to develop spinal misalignments that will affect them as they enter adulthood. School can be a challenging time for children, so ensuring they are as comfortable as possible is vital for both their physical and mental development.
Chiropractic Biophysics Lateral Cervical Film Analysis Reliability
PUBLISHED: J Manipulative Physiol Ther. 1993 Jul-Aug;16(6):384-91.
AUTHORS: Jackson BL, Harrison DD, Robertson GA, Barker WF.
OBJECTIVE: To determine the degree to which the geometric line drawings used in Chiropractic Biophysics Technique (CBP) on lateral cervical radiographs are reliable.
CONCLUSIONS: The reliabilities for intra- and interexaminer were all greater than .70, indicating that these measurements in CBP technique would be considered accurate enough to provide measurements for future clinical studies. The data indicated that the C6-C7 relative rotation angle was the least reliable measurement.
