About Smartstrong
Read on to understand our background and our mission for the Smartstrong Community
In 2010 we graduated from the Anglo-European College of Chiropractic with a mission to help back pain sufferers regain their confidence, and get back to the activities they love, through the application of Chiropractic techniques.
However, what we began to realise during that journey was that traditional ‘passive therapy’, in isolation, was not enough to provide the best care for patients, especially if we were to help them to build future resilience to pain and injury.
With an interest in functional exercise, and rehabilitation, we sought to better understand the biomechanics of back pain and adopt an approach that would better serve our clients.
Put simply, we’re not designed to lead the lives that we do. We’re not designed to sit for long periods of the day at a desk, or in the car. We’re not designed to bend over all day as plumbers, carpenters, or electricians and we not designed to stand all day as nurses, hairdressers and retail assistants. We’re not designed to repeatedly perform the same actions day after day, hour after hour. Doing so puts strain on the soft tissues of the body, has a detrimental impact on our posture over the long term, and can ultimately lead to injury and pain. Our approach is to help you to become pain free but to educate you to better understand your back and the daily habits you can adopt to reduce back pain, and build long term resilience.
We’ve helped hundreds of clients, from varied backgrounds, take back control and find relief from pain and injury. Our aim is to do the same for you. Smartstrong has been created to enable us to reach a greater volume of people so we can continue to reduce back pain globally and get people back doing the activities they love.
If you’re suffering from back pain, want to improve your posture, or want to build resilience to future injury then you’re in the right place. Join us and take an active approach to better back health.
