Last September 2, I, together with my friends from Crossfit Kapitolyo of CFMNL visited Intercare in Makati City for a chiropractic therapy. This is quite timely for us who are used to carrying heavy weights and our last WOD consisted of power cleans.

Now, my experience with Intercare and RMIT students were not that new. In fact, it is the 2nd time that I met these friendly and informative students from RMIT. Back in 2013, Annika was helpful to realign my hips as she saw how my right shoulder is lower than my left due to my usual carrying of things on my right side. And I had myotherapy back in 2012 for my muscles.
This time Elise made sure that my spine is realigned as I came from too much load on my shoulders. She pressed the sides of my lats and felt the hardness. After some cracking sounds (I’m used to the sounds, don’t worry they won’t break you. It’s the sound produced by the joints during realignment and adjustments.), I felt better and actually relieved after a day’s work. This is really helpful not just for Crossfitters or athletes but also professionals that have been at work for long hours.
My friends Art and Joy, whose jobs demand tedious physical movements and long hours at work were given the same treatment and actually enjoyed it. Thanks again Intercare and Elise for the treatment!
