HEALTH SHAK

What an incredible day revisiting our old Secondary School as Alumni for St. Marks & Spark! Charity’s Careers Day 💼

We had the privilege of networking with 180 pupils across Year 10, sharing our journeys since leaving St. Marks, and helping them prepare for the transition into the working world.

It was especially fun running into our former classmate, Jamie, who is now a teacher there. Thirteen years later, it was a nostalgic trip down memory lane!




💙

New sign is here 🙌

New year, new location, same mission 🏡

We are excited to share that we have moved our clinic to a new location!

Since launching in 2020, we have outgrown our first treatment room and after a long search, we have found an elegant space that aligns with our values and ambitions ✨

We are still based in the heart of Chiswick with beautiful views overlooking Turnham Green park and the High Road. Chiswick Park tube station is just a short 5-minute walk away, PayByPhone car parking and Lime Bike bays are available directly outside, and there are plenty of bus routes close by.

Over the next few months, we will be building this space into a warm, relaxing and welcoming environment 🧱

Thank you for watching us grow and being a part of our journey. Without your support, this would not be possible 🙏

We look forward to welcoming you to your new HEALTH SHAK 💙

At HEALTH SHAK, we use natural methods to ensure that the muscles surrounding your spine won't have to work harder than they need to, allowing your spine to support the weight of your body equally.

Imagine how it would feel to stand upright, EFFORTLESSLY.

FOOT ADJUSTMENTS 🦶 Some people love it, some people don’t... what are your thoughts?

Stressed? Anxious? Feeling less confident?

Sitting hunched over your desk all day doesn’t feel good, mentally or physically. Just imagine how it affects your breathing and muscle function...

There is no doubt that your physiology influences your emotions and scientists have been conducting more and more research into how good posture can actually increase your confidence

Amy Cuddy, an award-winning Harvard lecturer conducted a study which revealed that adopting expansive poses increased people’s feelings of power, confidence and significantly improved their performance under stress

She found that ‘power posing’ can change body chemistry through an increase in testosterone (the dominance hormone) and a decrease in cortisol (the stress hormone)

Try standing in one of these power poses for two minutes:

➡️ Hands on hips
➡️ Hands behind head
➡️ Victory pose
➡️ Warrior pose

Cuddy’s talk on “your body language may shape who you are” is the second most watched TED talk of all time

The fastest way to become more confident is to radically change your physiology and improve your posture!

Everything is connected and where your body goes, your mind follows

No, you don’t have to get half-naked for your chiropractic sessions with us, despite what you may have seen on some other YouTube videos 🙄

We want you to feel comfortable, free and able to move your body, as we will likely need to perform some physical tests or manoeuvres with you

We’d recommend that you wear a short sleeved top with shorts/tracksuit bottoms/leggings 👕🩳

Hooded jumpers, short skirts, or tight shirts may make it difficult to perform our treatments so its best you avoid wearing these

During your appointments you’ll also be asked to remove any outside jackets, as well as your shoes 🧥👟

📩 Drop us a message to ask us any questions

(P.S. What you wear is completely your choice, and whatever you decide, we will do the best we can to make it work for you to get the best possible results)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I’ve been seeing David for 2-3 years now, and as a dancer, there’s no one I’d trust more with my spine. Especially given my injury history and chronic symptoms, his holistic approach to treatment allows me to accomplish my fitness goals without being hindered by pain. Always thankful for his professionalism and bubbly personality” —

Be sure to check out more of our 5⭐️ reviews on Google

Have you ever wondered how much your head weighs?

The average head is around 8-10% of your overall body weight — that’s around 5kg for the average person. But most people will feel like their head weighs more than double this!

This is because as you tilt your neck forward, the direction of force from your head to your neck increases drastically, putting extra load and pressure on your spine

To put it in perspective, for every inch that your head goes forwards, there is around 10 times the force going through your spine!

So if in your normal resting posture your head is forwards, imagine how much extra work your body is doing just to stay upright 😅

When muscles, ligaments and joints are working harder than they should, they get achy, stiff and more susceptible to injury

At HEALTH SHAK, our combination of traditional chiropractic and structural correction treatments can help you feeling aligned and balanced without any effort whatsoever!

John came to see us during an acute episode of lower back pain 🤕

As his job is physical, the pain was preventing him from being able to work and was interfering with other responsibilities, since getting into certain positions was uncomfortable

This was not the first time he had been through an episode like this — the pain had been on & off for years

But since visiting John has not experienced any lower back pain and he feels that he can rely on his body day to day!

Check out his 5⭐️ Review on Google:

“Not only they’re adjusting my posture and sorting out my back issue, they also explain how the spine works, what other injuries could lead to causing back issues and also how to maintain good posture”

If you have a recurring issue and want it gone for good, drop us a message and see if we can help you too!

Good posture is about much more than standing or sitting up straight to look good 🔑

Maintaining your body in a stable position can prevent pain, injuries and other health problems

Your physical structure will ultimately determine how well your body works (all the way from a micro- to the macro level 🔬)

In other words:
Poor posture = poor body function = poor health and performance 🚫
Good posture = good function = good health and performance ✅

The 🔑 to good posture is the position of the bones in your skeleton, especially those in your spine 🦴

Good posture maintains the natural curves in your spine without increasing or reducing them

From the front, a good posture will show that the eyes, shoulders and hips are horizontal, allowing your spine to go straight through the middle

From the side, your head should be on top of your shoulders, your hips and the centre of balance in your foot

If it feels like an effort or hard work to keep good posture, you’d probably benefit from having your structure corrected by a professional

If you would like to improve your posture, come and see us — that’s what we do! 💁‍♂️
