Are you expecting—or know someone who is? 🤰🏻

Pregnancy is such an exciting journey, but it can also bring physical aches and pains as your body changes to support your growing baby.

At our clinic, our prenatal chiropractors and RMTs are specially trained to support you safely and comfortably through every stage of pregnancy. We commonly help with:
✨ Low back and tailbone pain
✨ Sciatica
✨ Round ligament pain
✨ P***c symphysis pain
✨ Rib pain
✨ Wrist pain (including carpal tunnel symptoms)

You don’t have to “just deal with it.” Gentle, pregnancy-safe chiropractic care and massage therapy can help reduce discomfort, improve mobility, and support a more comfortable pregnancy.

If you’re in Maple Ridge and looking for extra support during this season, we’re here for you. 💛

✨ INFANT MASSAGE ✨

Tiny bodies deserve skilled, intentional care 🤍

Infant massage:
✨ Supports feeding & oral function
Tension through the neck, jaw, shoulders, and chest can impact latch, sucking coordination, and feeding endurance. Gentle, targeted treatment can help improve mobility and overall feeding comfort.

🌿 Helps with gas, reflux & digestion
Massage supports the parasympathetic (“rest & digest”) nervous system and can ease abdominal tension — often helping babies who struggle with gassiness or digestive discomfort.

💤 Promotes better sleep
When the nervous system is regulated and the body feels more comfortable, babies often settle more easily and sleep more soundly.

🤍 Addresses tension from birth
Birth — whether vaginal or cesarean — is a big event for a tiny body. Massage can help release strain patterns that show up as head preference, body asymmetry, or general stiffness.

🧠 Supports nervous system regulation
Therapeutic touch provides safe, calming sensory input that helps babies move out of fight-or-flight and into a state where growth, digestion, and connection can thrive.

Infant massage is always gentle, responsive, and developmentally appropriate. When we support the body early, we often see beautiful ripple effects in feeding, sleep, and overall wellbeing.

👅 Your baby’s tongue posture matters!

Your baby’s tongue does more than feed.
Where it rests helps shape the jaw, face, and airway.

✨ Ideal tongue posture:
Tongue resting gently up on the roof of the mouth, not just the tip, the entire tongue!

⬇️ When the tongue rests low, it can lead to:
⚠️ Open mouth posture
⚠️ Mouth breathing (less efficient oxygenation)
⚠️ High, narrow palate
⚠️ Narrower sinuses → harder to clear congestion
⚠️ Suboptimal sleep quality, snoring, etc.

👶🏻 It also impacts feeding:
⚠️ Challenges with latch and milk transfer
⚠️ Compensation patterns (lip clamping and jaw chewing), breast pain and damage
⚠️ Decreased feeding stamina
⚠️ Milk leaks, air intake, gas, and reflux-like struggles

The early months really matter. 🙌🏼
Supporting tongue function early helps guide healthy growth while baby’s body is most adaptable.
A team approach can make a big difference 💛

Because small things early can shape big things later♥️

Where does your baby’s tongue sit at rest?
Tag a parent or send to someone who needs to see this!

Dr. Amanda and Dr. Zehra were invited to check out Rokband Pediatric Headshape Clinic in New Westminster and had a blast learning all about the clinic, nerding out with Mikaela, and getting their heads scanned 😜👌🏼

Rokband is Canada’s largest head shaping clinic specializing in the prevention and treatment of infant head shape asymmetry.

Their custom made helmets protect fuller areas of the head to limit further growth and direct new growth where flat spots are to encourage rounding and symmetry. There’s no pushing or forcing the head back into shape, only guidance for new growth 😌👌🏼

Bonus: the helmets are so cute 🥹

They work closely with manual therapists/bodyworkers like pediatric chiropractors, RMTs, physiotherapists, and osteopaths, as well as other medical professionals with a team approach. They’re also fantastic with providing information so that you can make an informed choice for your child.

Thank you so much for having us ! ♥️

And since we know you want to know, both Dr. Amanda and Dr. Zehra have great shaped and symmetrical noggins!😅🔥

Stay tuned for our post about head shape and neck rotational preferences, and what you can start doing at home to help 🫶🏼

🧠 Concussions don’t always look dramatic—and they don’t always show up right away. Days or even weeks after an impact, symptoms can appear… and many go undiagnosed.

It’s not just direct hits to the head. 😵‍💫
Whiplash and indirect impacts can cause concussions too. No two concussions are the same!

⚠️ Red Flags to Watch For
* Light or noise sensitivity
* Trouble focusing or reading
* Headaches, dizziness, or fatigue
* Balance issues
* Neck or jaw pain
* Struggling at school or in sport

🏟️ Why Baseline Testing Is a Game Changer
Baseline testing shows us what your athlete’s brain looks like before an injury—so if a concussion happens, we know exactly how to guide a safe return to school and sport.

✅ After a Concussion
Assessments can be done hours, days, or even months later. The sooner the better though! Dr. Mark performs a thorough evaluation and builds a recovery plan tailored to your athlete—working with other providers when needed.

• Baseline concussion testing
• Acute & chronic concussion care
• Return-to-learn & return-to-play protocols
• Neurological & physical rehab

One brain. Let’s protect it. 👊🏼
