TBM treatment technique offered at ChiroCure Clinic StKilda (03)90135133
TBM is a treatment technique supplied by some of our remedial therapists, which is focused on detecting imbalances within the body through muscle testing and tapping specific body points. TBM then aims to harnesses energy channels which are linked to internal organs and system functioning.
Our therapists will often implement TBM treatment techniques into her chiropractic consultations, which may be a component of TBM specific assessment and/or correction, which in effect ‘switches on the body’ to respond to the more advanced treatments, such as organ adjusting and parasympathetic (fight/fight) correction in future sessions. By using this technique, Dr Leski works to improve an individual’s allergy condition or overactive nervous system to produce a bodily response.
Our chiropractors are skilled in performing a series of muscle tests during her treatment appointment to discover and correct the internal imbalances and blockages that may be impairing your health. These corrections include the restoration of organ function, re-balance blood flow, restore pressure, and improve water utilization for longer lasting correction and better overall health.

Why should we drink more water?
Water intake is extremely crucial for your body and even more so when your body is trying to heal from musculoskeletal issues. Our body needs oxygen to function optimally and many do not realise water intake is necessary to enhance their oxygen level.
The human body is composed of roughly 70-80% water and even more in the brain at approximately 85-90%. It is evidently noted that lowered water consumption may lead to a decrease in mental and physical function with possible headache symptoms such as dizziness or fatigue. When water intake is decreased, your muscles do tend to be more rigid and they are easily damaged and aggravated leading to aches and pains.
The most common misconception is that consuming fluids like coffee, tea or even soda will help with your body’s water level but it actually leads to further dehydration and our chiropractors recommend that you replace the intake of these types of fluids with even more water.
How is water good for your body?– Removes waste and toxins from your body more quickly following an adjustment
– Reduces the severity and length of time for any side effects (including headaches, nausea, migraines ect) from the adjustment – Speeds up metabolism and boosts energy – Maintains proper organ functions – Aids in weight loss – Suppresses cravings and over active appetite – Improves blood circulation and overall health – Gives you healthier looking skin |
How much water should you drink each day?Recommended water intake by World Health Organization (WHO) for adults is approximately 1.5-2.5 litres.
There are no set rules for each individual, however, ChiroCure Clinic practitioners recommend that you try to consume at least an average of 8 glasses of water a day, and at least 1.5L/day when experiencing pain or in the presence of inflammation. |
|
Ways to drink water for your health
If increasing your water intake seems like a task, try adding lemon or mint to make it taste better and less boring. Carry a water bottle with you at all times has been shown to increase water consumption without effort.
Drink water during meals can interfere with digestion, so it’s best to drink after meals. It is best to drink cool water as it is absorbed more quickly into the body. Ask your chiropractors and remedial massage therapists about more helpful tips on your next visit to ChiroCure Chiropractic Clinic StKilda East.
You may also download an app on your phone called ‘Plant Nanny’ to constantly remind you to stay hydrated.

Throughout pregnancy an expectant mother experiences many hormonal and structural changes in order to prepare the mother’s body for the developing baby, as well as for the birth process.
Our chiropractors and remedial massage therapists may be able to help you to better manage pain and stress through all stages of your pregnancy and after birth. Our massage therapist Grace Foong has done 6 years of pregnancy training and further learning courses. She has also completed an obstetrics massage course at university.
Dr Leski has a passion for working with pregnancy and paediatric chiropractic therapies, having worked with patients in the field for the past 7 years. She has completed four paediatric courses and pregnancy related seminars. |
Changes to the body during pregnancy may include:
> Weight gain, as the breasts and uterus grow. > Protruding abdomen – the abdominal muscles and tissues start to stretch as the baby continues to grow. > Pelvic ligament loosening – due to the increased amounts of hormones necessary for birthing. > Pelvic strain – this can occur as the body prepares to give birth. > Joint instability – movement may become more difficult or painful, especially during the third trimester. > Changes to the pelvis and sacrum position – muscles may strain to support the weight of the foetus. > Postural changes; including an increased lumbar curve, low back sway, hip rotation, pelvis un-levelling. > Ankle or knee strain – inflammation or pain is common as weight distribution changes occur. |
