Your child’s spine is growing every single day — is it being supported the way it should be? 👶🧒

From carrying heavy school bags to spending hours on screens, from growth spurts to everyday tumbles, children’s bodies go through more than we realise. That’s why it’s so important to have their posture, movement and alignment checked early.

Chiropractic care for kids is gentle, safe and specifically tailored to their growing bodies. It’s not about fixing problems — it’s about supporting healthy development and giving your child the best possible start as they grow.

📅 This July, we’re offering initial consultations for just £49 (normally £70).
If you’ve been thinking about it, now is the perfect time to book. We’re here to answer your questions and support your family’s wellbeing every step of the way!

✨FAQ: Is chiropractic care beneficial for enhancing flexibility and range of motion?

Yes, chiropractic care can be beneficial for enhancing flexibility and range of motion. When joints are not moving properly, known as joint fixations, it can lead to stiffness, limited mobility, and increased muscle tension in the surrounding areas. Chiropractic care focuses on addressing these joint restrictions through specific adjustments that aim to restore normal joint movement. As joint mobility improves, muscle tension may reduce, allowing for smoother and more fluid movement patterns. This can contribute to better flexibility and range of motion as part of a broader approach to maintaining musculoskeletal health.

It was such a pleasure to be part of Aphobos CrossFit’s “Ladies Who Lift” event!

Dr. Christine gave a talk on how stress impacts performance, an often underestimated factor in both athletic ability and overall well-being.

We’ve become so accustomed to high levels of stress that many of us accept it as “normal,” but that doesn’t mean it’s not taking a toll on our bodies. We discussed how chronic stress can affect strength, recovery, and performance, and we guided the group through simple but powerful exercises to help reset the nervous system and shift out of Fight or Flight mode.

It was fantastic to connect, lift, and learn alongside such an inspiring group of women.
Thank you for having us, !

🔍Myth: Chiropractic adjustments hurt.

Chiropractic adjustments are not typically painful. When someone first begins care, there can be a lot of built-up tension in the body, and occasionally a person may experience mild, short-term discomfort as that tension starts to release. However, this is usually far less than the discomfort they were feeling before starting care. In most cases, people report feeling a sense of relief and improved well-being following their adjustments, with these positive sensations often increasing as their care progresses. Chiropractors are trained to use techniques that are safe, controlled, and tailored to each individual.

✨FAQ: What can you do for SPD?

Managing SPD, or pelvic girdle dysfunction, involves making small adjustments to daily movement and posture to reduce strain on the pelvis. It is helpful to avoid single-legged activities such as lunges or bending while bearing weight on one leg, as these can increase pressure on the pelvic joints. When bending down, aim to keep both knees bent and maintain symmetry in movement. Sitting cross-legged is best avoided, and sitting more upright on the sit bones rather than slouching back can help reduce discomfort. Gentle pelvic tilts, either while standing or on all fours, can encourage healthy movement through the pelvis without over-arching the back. A simple and safe exercise is to gently squeeze a soft ball or rolled towel between the knees for 10 to 15 seconds and release, which may help ease tension around the p***c area.
