Body Building
Injury care and performance support for bodybuilders and powerlifters at North Down Chiro, Bangor.
We work with bodybuilders at all levels, from recreational lifters to competitive athletes, helping them train hard while reducing the risk of injury. Bodybuilding places significant stress on muscles, joints, and the spine, often leading to issues such as shoulder impingement, lower back strain, hip tightness, and muscle imbalances. By combining chiropractic care and physiotherapy, we address joint mobility, soft tissue restrictions, movement mechanics, and recovery demands to support safe lifting and optimal performance. Treatment plans are tailored to your training intensity, lifting technique, and competition goals—whether you’re managing an injury, improving mobility, or optimising recovery between sessions.
CONDITIONS TREATED
Conditions We Treat at Our North Down Clinic
North Down Chiropractic & Physiotherapy treats a wide range of musculoskeletal conditions affecting the spine, joints, muscles and nervous system.

Each condition is assessed individually, allowing us to provide targeted, evidence-based treatment tailored to your diagnosis, lifestyle and recovery goals.
