What is Spinal Manipulation?

Spinal manipulation is hands on technique that provides a quick stretch to the joints of the spine that in turn causes a crack or pop sound.

The sound you hear is actually a release of nitrogen gas. It takes 20 minutes after a joint has been cracked for that gas to build up again before you can manipulate the joint again.

When a joint is manipulated and the gas is released little receptors in the joint and tendon are stimulated which in turn causes the muscles overlying that area to relax for approximately 15 minutes.

During this time we hope that the muscles go back to restful state. It’s kind of like restarting your computer when it is not working properly.

Contrary to popular belief no joints actually go out or need to put back into place or are out of align. These are all myths.

Mary Wong Colebrook is an absolute delight. From the first time I met with her for vestibular therapy, she demonstrated her expertise in the field. She was able to resolve my vertigo in the initial session. As it is a recurring ear crystal issue, she's has told me not to suffer with it and she will make ever effort to squeeze me in as soon as possible. She is a wonderful therapist and person!read more

I booked Ian to deal with my knee and found Ian to be very knowledgeable and good at explaining to me the issues related to my injury and recommendations for recovery. I'd definitely recommend Ian for any sport related injury.read more

Mary Wong Colebrook is an amazing physiotherapist. She is friendly, enthusiastic and encouraging. I have had 3 treatments for a painful foot condition and I can't believe the benefits. Mary quickly identified the root issue offering exercises to do to address it while treating the pain and tension in my body during our sessions. I am so glad I found her, she was recommended to me by a friend who also had great success through her treatments. Thank you Mary!read more

Matt Rose has helped me bounce back from a shoulder injury, back issues, and most recently bicep tendonitis. Basically he’s the reason I’m still held together like a functioning human. As an accomplished athlete himself, he gives spot-on recovery advice and even explains what not to do during the sports I insist on playing anyway.Also, I’m fairly certain he has the grip strength of a gorilla. Possibly two gorillas. 😆Highly recommend!read more

I’ve struggled with back pain ever since having kids, and nothing seemed to give lasting relief. After seeing Matt Rose for IMS, my back pain has essentially disappeared and I’ve been virtually pain free for over a year now. I wish I’d gone to see him years earlier.read more
