THE CHIROPRACTIC TEAM
Chiropractic at Lilliput Health
What is Chiropractic?
Chiropractic is a regulated primary healthcare profession that focuses on the diagnosis, treatment, management, and prevention of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the bones, joints, and muscles, and the impact these issues can have on the nervous system and overall health.
At Total Therapy in Poole, our chiropractors provide professional chiropractic care in Poole and the surrounding Dorset area. We are trained to assess and treat a wide range of conditions using evidence based, hands on techniques tailored to each individual.
Chiropractors complete a minimum of four years of intensive training, enabling them to safely evaluate patients, make clinical diagnoses, and deliver effective, personalised treatment plans.

How do we treat?
At Total Therapy, chiropractic treatment is tailored to each individual following a thorough assessment. Our approach combines hands on care, modern techniques, and rehabilitation to support recovery, improve movement, and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Treatment may include:
-
Joint mobilisation and manipulation of the spine and extremities
-
Muscle release and soft tissue techniques to reduce tension and improve flexibility
-
Shockwave therapy for chronic tendon and soft tissue conditions
-
Medical acupuncture to support pain relief and muscle function
-
Thompson Drop Technique, orthopaedic blocking, and SOT (Sacral Occipital Technique) where clinically appropriate
-
Postural advice and personalised rehabilitation exercises to support long-term improvement
We may also recommend the use of ice or heat therapy as part of your home care programme.
Importantly we recognise the impact that today’s stresses and strains have upon the body and it’s ability to heal and be well and are passionate about inspiring our patients to create healthier and happier lifestyle choices.
