CiONE and the Pelvic Health Group
‘CIONE Postural Rejuvenation by Tim King’ (CiONE) within the Harley Street Centre, (one of London’s leading MRI/PEP and CT scanning centres) is one of the cornerstones of the Harley Street ‘Pelvic Health Group’.
The original area of specialisation for CiONE was in the field of elite performance / international sport. However, the CiONE methodology within the Harley Street practice has focused on the areas of Pre and Post Natal patients, Gynaecology, Neurology, Parkinson’s, MS, CP, Paediatrics, Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis.
To this end, the CiONE clinic is now seen as one of the leading centres of Bio-mechanical intervention within complex Pelvic Pain, working daily with Consultant Neurologists, Genealogists and Physiotherapists who specialise in this area of pain management.
Eradicate Postural Pain
with the CiONE Postural Pyramid
The CiONE methodology on postural and pelvic rejuvenation is ‘ground-breaking’ and now encompasses life-changing techniques using the CiONE Wellness Pyramid triangulation of ‘Fit Feet, Fit Body & Fit Mind’ ideology. This equation connects the ‘three cornerstones’ of the Wellness Pyramid and enables deeper pelvic floor routines to recalibrate posture and eradicate postural pain by strengthening and stabilising the deeper core, no matter the age or condition of the patient.
CiONE's ‘results’ in patient outcomes have acted as a springboard towards the launch of the Pelvic Health Group. Indeed the combination of the unique BiOCORE programmes, Custom Stability Plates and the proprioceptive rebalancing and recalibration techniques, have helped and supported thousands of patients over the years across all areas of health and wellness.

Specialist Treatment to Relieve Pain
Symptoms are often increased with sitting, pressure on the perineum, tight clothes and can be aggravated by stress. Often physiotherapy is required as part of treatment to facilitate trigger point release, restore ‘normal’ biomechanics and decrease muscle tension in the pelvic area.
Other parts of treatment can include relaxation therapy, psychological input, diet and lifestyle changes and pharmacological modalities. With a multi-faceted approach to treatment, prognosis for the condition is good.
The Pelvic Health Group’s success rate in eradicating and reducing Pelvic Pain is second to none. The patients simply need to listen to the advice and take on the responsibility of their individual postural health and lifestyle.
Learn techniques for self-help
The Pelvic Health Group team – will look to encourage all patients to educate themselves:
These are good starting points to understand the anatomy and complexity of the pelvic region and to benefit from the advice given
-
Tim Parkes Teach us to sit still
-
Read about HRC (Heart Rate Coherence) or EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) to reduce stress levels
-
Work at lengthening the muscles that are inserted into the pelvic area – especially piriformis and obturator internus
-
Practice Mindfulness or Body Scanning
-
Look to Yoga http://yourpaceyoga.com/
-
Take a recommended Probiotic
The Pelvic Health Group’s goal is to rehabilitate and lengthen the short contracted muscles of the pelvic floor/hip joint and to calm the over-sensitivity of the nervous system.
The team of consultants is committed to hand-holding all their patients through the process.
