Ishta spinal touch

Ihsta Spinal Touch is a gentle, effective, extremely safe and beautifully simple way of assessing and treating postural and spinal distortions. Two Chiropractors in the 1920s, John Hurley and Helen Saunders developed it.

John Hurley had a structural engineering background and applied this knowledge to his chiropractic approach. Between the two of them they went on to produce this method of postural reintegration using engineering principles, the laws of leverage, physiology and chiropractic.

The treatment involves an initial assessment of spinal distortion and is followed by massage treatment to realign the body. The secret of the treatment is the accurate plumb line assessment plus maintaining the contact point with the correct directive force on the anterior buttock.

This brings about subtle physiological changes in the postural muscles responsible for holding the body in an upright position. These subtle yet powerful changes in the muscle allows them to relax and bring about amazing changes in posture and position of the spine and pelvis which in turn can help alleviate back aches and pains.

Once the alignment has been completed, the Client is re-assessed at the plumb line for any changes.
