COLIC. This could be a reason your child suffers from colic.

The C Bend Test is one of the first things I do with a newborn.

It’s simple, gentle, and tells me a lot.
We’re just assessing spinal tension and torsion, and what we want to feel is a relaxed, soft, pliable baby. What we don’t want is rigidity, tightness, and resistance.

If your baby has that tension, here’s what you’ll notice.
😔 Unsettled and restless
😔 Constipation
😔 Constant crying or wailing

Why? Because your spinal cord is the conductor of life. It regulates every single system and organ in your body. If your baby is tight and rigid and they can’t move freely, the output of their life is going to match that.

But look at little Charlie here.
Relaxed. Soft. In my words, perfect.
And that’s exactly what her parents are telling me at home, that she is the perfect little baby. No wonder, when mum did the work during pregnancy, showed up consistently, and gave her baby the best possible start with a clear, healthy nervous system.

This is why families choose to come to us regularly, not because they’re sick, but because they want to stay well.
Just like the gym. Just like brushing your teeth.
They get it for themselves. They get it for their kids.
No thousands spent on pills, medications, or short term fixes. Just trust in the body’s innate intelligence to heal and thrive.
This is an example of it.

Your baby’s tummy time struggle is a warning sign.

Head control is one of the first things we look for in a newborn 👶

When a baby can lift and hold their head up steadily, it means the neurological centres in the brain are firing correctly, sending the right signals down through the neck, and the muscles are responding.
∙ A well-functioning upper neck supports proper nerve flow from the brainstem downward
∙ That nerve flow drives motor development, muscle tone, and coordination
∙ Head control is one of the earliest windows into how well that system is working

We see this every day in practice. Babies who are struggling with tummy time, slow to lift their head, or always turning to one side, often have tension or restriction in the neck that’s interfering with that neurological connection.
The adjustment doesn’t force anything. It removes the interference so the brain and body can do what they’re already designed to do.

Controversial? Yes.

Truth? Yes.

Ask your self, how long have you stuck to something with consistency? Intention? And repetition? For at least 3 months?

The truth is you’ve probably switched supplements, practitioners, courses, treatments, diets and products more in those 3 months sticking to one thing!

I know it’s a hard reality to face. I’ve been there too.

You want to feel different? Then do things differently to everyone else.

Missing a visit happens.

Life gets busy, schedules shift, and sometimes your care routine takes a back seat.

Here’s what we want you to know: if some symptoms return after a gap in care, that’s not a failure. It’s just your body reminding you that it’s still in the middle of rewiring.

Real, lasting change takes time and repetition. You’re literally reshaping pathways in your brain and nervous system. That doesn’t happen overnight, and it doesn’t fall apart overnight either.

For the kids especially: you might see huge leaps forward, then a little regression. That’s not a red flag. That’s just healing. It’s non-linear, and that’s completely normal.

Don’t be hard on yourself. Just get back on the horse and keep moving forward.

Sometimes you just need a good old fashioned leg yank.

But there are obviously some big changes that happen to the body and to the ankle joint when we adjust the talus bone.

Here are some of the most common things we see improve after a talus adjustment: Plantar fasciitis Ankle instability Frequently tripping or rolling over your feet Balance and coordination Faster recovery from ankle sprains

The talus is the bridge between your foot and your leg.
When it shifts even slightly out of position, the whole kinetic chain above it compensates, and your nervous system starts operating in a constant low grade state of tension and instability.

Getting it moving properly again is a simple change with a big ripple effect through the entire body.

Everything comes down to your belief system.
Do you believe your body has the capacity to heal from within, or do you believe it needs outside-in help to do that?
I know which one I believe in.
Is that a question you’ve ever even asked yourself? Let me know in the comments.
