Hollow Ward · Spinal & Postural Care
A small chiropractic practice for backs that ache by mid-afternoon, necks that never quite loosen, and bodies that have started negotiating with every staircase. One practitioner, unhurried appointments, a plan you understand.
Enough time to examine properly, explain what we find, and start treatment the same day.
Adjustment, soft tissue work and graded movement, chosen for what your body actually needs.
Every plan has a stated number of visits and a point where you no longer need us.
What brings people in
Rarely a dramatic injury. Usually a stiffness you worked around for months until it stopped being negotiable. These are the three patterns that fill our week.
The ache that arrives on waking or after an hour upright. We look for where the load is actually landing rather than treating the loudest spot.
Nine hours of sitting rewrites how you hold your ribs and jaw. We unpick the habit, then give you two or three things worth doing at your desk.
You stopped running, gardening or reaching overhead because it costs you the next day. We rebuild the range first, then the confidence.
Care & treatments
Nothing here is applied as a template. After the assessment we tell you which of these your plan will lean on and why.
Precise, low-force work to restore movement to joints that have stopped sharing the load. Explained before it happens, every time.
Focused hands-on work through the muscle and fascia holding a pattern in place, so the adjustment has somewhere to settle.
Two or three exercises at a time, never a printed sheet of twenty. Progressed only when the last set has become easy.
A practical look at your desk, sleep position, commute and training, because the other 167 hours matter more than the one with us.
Your first visit
Forty-five minutes, start to finish. You will leave knowing what is happening in your back and what the next month looks like.
What hurts, when it started, what you have already tried, and what you actually want back — the garden, the gym, a full night's sleep.
Posture, joint movement, muscle response and simple orthopaedic testing. If something sits outside our scope, we say so and point you onward.
A plain-language explanation, treatment on the same visit where it is appropriate, and a written plan with a stated number of sessions.
The practitioner
Hollow Ward is a single-room practice, and that is deliberate. One practitioner means the person who examined you in week one is the person who treats you in week six — no handovers, no repeating your story.
Ines trained in chiropractic after a decade of competitive rowing and two shoulders that taught her more about rehabilitation than she wanted to know. The practice she built reflects that: longer appointments, fewer of them, and an unshakeable preference for explaining a spine rather than mystifying it.
She treats adults and older adults, works regularly with desk-bound professionals and returning athletes, and keeps a standing referral relationship with local physiotherapy and podiatry colleagues for anything better handled elsewhere.
“If you can't repeat back what's wrong with your own back, I haven't finished explaining it.”
