What is sports health?
At ProHealth Chiropractic, sports health refers to maintaining optimal physical and mental well-being for athletes at any level. This includes:
- Addressing poor posture and biomechanics to reduce injury risks.
- Managing and rehabilitating sports-related injuries for faster recovery.
- Enhancing strength, control, and flexibility to boost athletic performance.

Having suffered headaches due to neck pain along with lower back pain after a lifetime of Martial Arts training, I am now pain free and back to practicing at full capacity thanks to regular visits with and advice from Michael and the team at ProHealth Chiropractic Chorley. I would highly recommend them to anyone in need of quality realignment and posture assessment.
I've had issues with pain in my lower back and right hip area since 2018 and finally decided to get myself booked in to see a chiropractor. After my first 4 visits, the constant pressure and pain I had been suffering with since 2018 has now gone and my back, neck and pelvis are feeling the best they've felt in years!
Thank you to Michael and Jordan, and the Team at ProHealth Chiropractic in Chorley, for their assistance Whilst playing golf on Easter Day (2021), I suffered an injury to the middle of my Back. The pain worsened over the next few days until I was struggling to sit up from a horizontal (resting) position, to stand from a sitting position, and to walk without feeling pain in my lower back. I was not in a good place. In the hunt for help and assistance I visited ProHealth Chiropractic. After listening to my tale of woe on the golf course, and a realisation on my part, that probably years of operating a poor Back posture had not helped, I would like to pass on my thanks to Jordan (for the physio) and Michael (for the Chiro) that was gratefully received. I’m now in much better shape, playing golf again, and with an improved understanding of good Back posture, and stretching exercises that I practice often, in an attempt to prevent recurrence of injury. In turn, this learning will hopefully assist me further in later years, although, I’m not sure if it will improve my golf handicap, but I will find out!
I am seeing Claire and jordan for a shoulder issue and they have been nothing but kind, gentle and respectful since I've been going to ProHealth - I previously saw them for an issue with my knee and back that was sports related that is now healed from their treatment and they have always done their job to the highest standard. I would highly recommend them for anyone looking for very experienced and highly trained professionals. Thank you guys!
As a tourist I visited Michael Hannaway , on July 27, in great pain. He helped me for instance and listened to my complaints. He took the time to listen . It was a pain I had for a long time . I received treatment from. Michael and sports massage from sir. Jordan Howarth , after which I left with much less pain. We had considered stopping our journey, now we could continue our journey. I would like to express my special thanks to Michael Hannaway , sir. Howarth and his Clinic. I can highly recommend them and wish them all the best . Thank you very much and see you one day in Bruges-Belgium. A grateful and painless patient
This is the best physical therapy clinic I have ever been to. I have had several issues with my shoulder and two hip replacements and have gone to other services for PT. However this has been the best of any place I have been.
The staff is so friendly and organized. I haven’t had a massage like this in a very long time! I highly recommend! I’ll def be coming back! 🤩
