An Easter road trip or camping getaway can be the perfect way to switch off from the busyness of everyday life… but your back and neck might not be quite as excited about the plan!

A few simple tips can help you arrive feeling good (not stiff and sore):

🔹 Pack lighter
Holidays—especially camping—often mean a lot of gear. Stick to the essentials and avoid overloading bags and boxes.

🔹 Bring your toolkit
If you’re prone to niggles or flare-ups, come prepared. Think heat packs, ice packs, magnesium cream, Fisiocrem/Tiger balm, or a sacroiliac belt.

🔹 Carry with care
Loading and unloading can be a risk zone. Take your time, lift from your knees, and minimise bending and twisting—especially with heavier, awkward items.

🔹 Set up your car seat properly
Hips all the way back, a slight recline, and your head supported—not poking forward.

🔹 Support matters
A small towel or lumbar/neck support in the car can help maintain your natural curves (hot tip: Kmart has great options!).

🔹 Take regular breaks
Stop every 60–90 minutes to walk, stretch, and reset.

🔹 Don’t ignore early warning signs
Tightness and niggles are your body asking for a reset—not something to push through.

Travel is meant to be enjoyed—look after your spine so you can focus on the views, not the pain 🙌

If your trip highlights that your spine needs a little extra attention, we’d love to help get you back on track when you return. Give our practice a call on 9435 9477.

Today we celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere.

As a chiropractor and founder of In Harmony Chiropractic, I feel incredibly grateful to work with so many inspiring women every day — patients, team members, colleagues, friends, and family — who prioritise their health, support one another, and show up with courage and determination.

International Women’s Day is a reminder of how far we’ve come, and the importance of continuing to lift each other up, create opportunities, and advocate for wellbeing in every stage of life.

Here’s to strong authentic women, healthy communities, and a future where everyone feels supported to thrive.

If your kids are anything like mine, they throw themselves around ALL THE TIME! I sometimes swear they must be made of rubber. But with all that activity, bumps and knocks are bound to happen — it’s all part of a healthy, active childhood.

And just like adults, children now have easy access to a wide range of technology, often spending extended periods looking down at screens. Over time, this posture can place added strain on their growing bodies.

If you’d like to support your child’s posture, movement and overall well being, book an appointment with us today to learn how gentle chiropractic care may help support their growing spine.

Is it time to set up your child's workspace?

Here are some tips to help you get started:

1. Provide a designated work area that is well lit, clean, tidy and preferably free of distractions.
2. Ensure the desk is the right height. You want your child's elbows resting comfortable at 90° with shoulders relaxed and feet resting gently on the floor.
3. Use a high backed ergonomic office chair to position child's knees slightly lower than their hips.
4. If their feet are dangling on the floor, use a foot rest or step to place their feet on.

For more tips, or if you would like more personalised advice, we are happy to chat more at your next appointment. See you soon!

A well-fitted backpack is more important than you think!🎒 Improper use can impact your child's spinal health. As a child grows and needs change, it is important to make sure that it is still sitting well on their spine.

Now that we are a few weeks into term, it is the perfect time to double check that your child's bag is fitting correctly.

Here are some simple tips:
1. Always wear the backpack with both straps on: one-strap carrying puts extra stress on growing bodies.
2. If your child is in early primary school, it is ok to help carry their bag when heavy. Lunchboxes, ice bricks, water bottles, devices...it all adds up!
3. Tighten the straps: ensure the bag is fitting snugly against their back
4. Bag positioning: position the backpack below their shoulders and above their hips

Not sure if your child’s bag fits properly?
👩‍⚕️ Book an appointment with us today to get your child's school bag correctly fitted and receive important advice on maintaining spinal health throughout the school year!

A supportive, well-fitting school bag is so important for growing spines.

Many of you have already done the research and found a bag that’s comfortable and supportive. Others might have realised—after weeks of watching your child struggle or stagger like a turtle—that a little extra help is needed.

Here are some ideas to lighten the load:
1. Don’t overpack! Keep the backpack less than 10% of their body weight
2. Place heaviest items closest to the spine
3. Empty the bag regularly. Regularly inspect your child's bag in case they are using it as a storage facility!! — no old fruit 🍊 or their entire Pokémon collection 🃏
4. Zip all compartments up
5. If possible keep a spare laptop charger at school to save transporting it every day (older kids)

Keep an eye out for our next post when we will show you how to fit your child's backpack correctly. If you are still unsure (or your child prefers advice from someone who isn’t their parent 😉), book an appointment with us and we can work with you and your child to create a solution that will work for you.
