The Sarah Key Method at Physio Plus

You're in the right hands

Sarah-Key-method-at-Physio-Plus

This unique approach to ‘low back pain’, is based on decades of experience at the coal-face by Physiotherapist to the Royal Family, Sarah Key.

Of utmost importance is correct diagnosis involving comprehensive, history, physical examination, and review of X-Rays and scans to discover the ‘nub’ of the problem in the overall cascade of spinal breakdown.

The Sarah Key Method describes 5 levels of spinal breakdown:

  1. Stiff Spinal Segment
  2. Facet Joint Arthropathy
  3. Acute Locked Back
  4. Prolapsed IVD
  5. Unstable Spinal Segment

All spinal problems fall into one (or more) of these categories which usually progress sequentially, however, may skip from one category to the next. Once a diagnosis is made, healing aims to reverse the stages of breakdown.
