Alignment at Number One

As winter training begins, it’s easy to focus on the part of the body that feels tight or uncomfortable.
KCR practitioners look at how the body is moving as a whole, using a structured sequence of gentle techniques.

This just in, love my job😍😍😍

Joanne, I just wanted to say a big thank you for all your help. When I first came to see you, I was struggling with a sore back, a sore knee and, especially, a really painful neck.
I’ve honestly noticed such a difference since seeing you. My back is much better (I can tigh my shoes without struggling), my knee has improved ( I am not limping anymore) and my neck after today treatment feels so much better. I feel more mobile and a bit not so old anymore.
You’re always so friendly and easy to talk to, and you make me feel completely at ease. I really appreciate the time you take to listen and help, thank you for the exercises you suggested. Thank you

Iv not had any of my cocodamol since thur. Ive just finished work and normally I’m dragging myself out the door but still feel like the old me! Can I book in for another session in a few weeks time please. Also can you send me your details as 2 of my friends would like to make appointments with you too x

Thank you Robert

In the approx 12 months I have attended Joanne, I have seen a gradual and now significant improvement in my neck pain and my overall health.

30 minute sessions don't seem a lot, but the treatment and advice/guidance given has been first class and given me a better understanding of how to bring my body back in to balance.

I would recommend Joanne and her KCR treatment to anyone, all ages and fitness levels, who is struggling with stiffness/pain/aches etc.

Kinetic Chain Release (KCR) is a medically recognised, non-invasive manual therapy consisting of a structured series of gentle joint mobilisations and stretches designed to bring the physical body back into natural alignment and balance. Developed by the late Scottish physiotherapist Hugh Gilbert, this protocol treats the whole body by addressing the entire "kinetic chain"—the interconnected sequence of joints, muscles, and connective tissue (fascia) that controls how you move.
⚙️ How It Works.....When one part of your body is restricted due to an accident, bad posture, or injury, other parts overcompensate. This creates physical tension and imbalances, such as leg length discrepancies.The Treatment: A practitioner takes you through a specific, gentle protocol of stretches while you remain fully clothed.
The Goal: It decompresses joints and releases structural blockages without any forceful twisting or cracking. Many patients report feeling lighter, looser, and more energised after a single session.🩹 Conditions It Can Help Relieve by restoring your body's natural posture and reducing excess wear and tear on your joints, KCR is commonly used to alleviate:
Musculoskeletal Pain:
Chronic back, neck, shoulder, hip, and knee pain, as well as sciatica.Head & Jaw Tension: Migraines, tension headaches, and TMJ (jaw) dysfunction.Chronic Conditions: Fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue syndrome, and discomfort from arthritis.Other Systems: It can positively influence the nervous and digestive systems, sometimes easing symptoms of IBS or chronic stress.
Athletic Performance: Everyday and elite athletes use it to maintain flexibility, prevent injury, and improve their structural movement patterns.
Any questions please don't hesitate to get in touch
Much love Joanne 💗

Posture Assessment
An Essential Part of Your Treatment

A posture assessment is not a treatment on its own—it is an essential part of your assessment. It helps us understand how your muscles, joints and connective tissues are working together, allowing us to identify movement compensations and possible causes of dysfunction rather than simply treating where it hurts.

During your assessment, we look for:

🔹 Uneven shoulder or hip height
🔹 Spinal alignment
🔹 Weight distribution
🔹 Muscle imbalances
🔹 Movement compensations from injury or repetitive activity

These findings help guide your treatment plan. At KCR, posture assessment is combined with hands-on assessment, palpation, movement testing and treatment to address the underlying cause—not just the symptoms.
