People often suffer unnecessary pain and discomfort due to incorrect adjustment of the seat and steering wheel. Often extra support is required - especially when discomfort is experienced.
Peter will assess the needs of individual drivers or provide ergonomic advice when purchase decisions are being made.

Rehabilitation after fractures, surgery, strains and strains. Peter will carefully assess your needs, use manual therapy to relax tight structures and use manually guided exercises to help you on the road to recovery. As you improve Peter will show you home exercises to further improve movement flexibility and strength.

It is usually best to rest, apply ice and elevate and compress the body part if possible after injury. Peter will assess a new injury to determine which tissues are injured and plan for the best treatment approach.

If you have injured your lower back Peter will show you helpful positioning techniques and introduce gentle exercises. It is important to recognise that most acute injuries resolve by themselves as the body's healing process takes place. Identifying what has happened, and the need for possible medical review and/or scanning, will help give peace of mind and allow you to recover without unnecessary anxiety.

Discuss issues, bike adjustment, riding posture, stretch tight muscles and strengthen weak muscle groups to balance forces.

Peter is a regular road cyclist.
