Health is both a journey and adventure of self-discovery and self-responsibility of how my body performs to its best and how I am responsive to the needs of my body, soul and mind. My body is a gift from God to serve a unique mission and purpose. It needs to fulfil its functions as best as possible so that I can serve my purpose in life.
Health is a journey of self-discovery and personal self-responsibility to ensure my body, mind, social contacts, nutrient levels and my Spirit are in harmony to be the best version of me. The four walls of the Whare are Physical Health, Mental Health, Nutritional Health and Social (family) Health with the overall roof of the Whare being Spiritual Health – Why was I made? What is my purpose in this life? There is a plan for me. How can I best express the plan God made for me – as a hubby, as a Dad, as a brother, a Grandad, a Doctor?
My Spine is the transmission pathway for my Central Nervous System – it provides me with structure, mobility and posture whilst also allowing every nerve signal to travel back and forth to the Brain and to the various organs, muscles or joints of my frame. This rapid nerve pathway system is critically important for my physical health, my mental / emotional health expression, the implementation of my nutrient system of proteins, carbohydrates and fats being metabolised to meet my body’s daily needs and requirements.
Loving my spine is key to my health. That demands that I stay active, walk daily, tramp, cycle, stretch and move lots. It means that I sit properly. Use good furniture. Eat well and sleep well. Stay upright and honour my posture. Get adjusted. Have massages / reflexology often. Soak in a spa pool before bed, for zero gravity benefits.
Being in good health allows me to enjoy life, stay active alongside my wife Therese, go for walks (without pain or disability), chase our grandchildren, enjoy bush tramping, riding my e-Bike and getting out of chair with ease.
Good health also means that you can inspire others to stay active and remain positive in their life outlook. Being in good health is a powerful witness to others to show that age is but a number and that a rapid recovery from any injury is a strong sign of good health!
I love being a Chiropractor under the Roughan Chiropractic banner which is proud in its legacy of ethical, thorough, authentical spinal assessments and corrections, alongisde a desire to explore the deep cause or meaning of a difficult health challenge via our Applied Kinesiology analysis. Accompaning every patient on their journey of self-discovery via the Triangle of AK to re-balance their subconscious, their spinal distortions and their micro-nutrient imbalances to better allow true healig to occur for this unique person on their own journey.
I love engaging with strangers and especially inquisitive little folk.
I am honoured to be someone’s Grandad.
I love sharing leisure time with my wife –especially walks and bush tramps.
I love singing especially in Church, but also in Irish pubs.
I love reading and participating in lectures, debates and health talks.
I love gardening and sharing organic philosophies of growing plants.
I love breaking bread and eating alongside others, especially those unfortunate who feel unloved.
A Chiropractor can assess my Spine for movement and postural integrity whilst identifying subluxations. A Chiropractor is trained to detect and correct subluxations. I have always felt my power turned ON when adjusted by a Chiropractor, for which I daily thank God. I cannot imagine life without receiving the healing impulse of a Chiropractic adjustment.
