What is dry needling — and why do we use it in chiropractic care?💉
Dry needling is an evidence-based technique used to treat tight, painful, and overactive muscles 🧠💥
It involves inserting a very fine, sterile needle directly into a trigger point (often felt as a knot or band of tension).
🎯 So what does it actually do?
When the needle targets the trigger point, it helps:
✔️ Release muscle tension
✔️ Reduce pain and sensitivity
✔️ Improve blood flow
✔️ Restore normal movement patterns
This allows the muscle to reset, making it easier for your body to move and heal.

Tight pectoral muscles are more than just a “chest issue” 💭
When the pecs become shortened and overactive often from desk work, poor posture, gym training, or stress they can pull the shoulders forward and restrict movement through the upper back and neck. Over time, this can contribute to:
😟 Rounded shoulders and poor posture
😟 Neck and shoulder pain
😟 Upper back stiffness
😟 Reduced breathing capacity
😟 Increased strain on the spine and surrounding muscles
Chiropractic care looks beyond the tight muscle itself. By improving joint mobility in the spine and ribs, supporting better posture, and restoring balanced movement patterns, chiropractic adjustments help reduce the underlying stress that keeps the pecs tight in the first place.

Being born is a big journey for a baby—and it can be stressful! From the tight space of the womb to the pressure of the birth canal, it’s a lot for their little bodies to handle. That’s where chiropractic care can help. 🍼✨
Chiropractic adjustments for newborns are gentle and can relieve tension caused during birth, promote proper alignment, and support a healthy nervous system.
This helps babies feel more comfortable, sleep better, and encourages healthy growth and development.
By ensuring their body is in alignment from the start, we’re setting them up for a healthier future! 🌟
That tension might be linked to your TMJ (temporomandibular joint). Gentle massage techniques can help release built-up stress in the muscles around your jaw, easing discomfort and improving movement.
🔥Sciatica pain can feel relentless - shooting down the leg, tightness in the lower back, and making even simple movements uncomfortable.
Sports massage can help by:
✅Releasing tight muscles that may be compressing the sciatic nerve
✅Improving circulation to reduce inflammation
✅Restoring mobility and easing tension so
you can move more freely
If sciatica has been slowing you down, targeted massage therapy could be the relief you’ve been searching for.

Putting Your Body First With BodyFit Chiropractic!
Hi! My name is Antonia
I am a Chiropractor working in Ringwood.
I believe that it is important to treat the functional cause of the injury instead of chasing the symptoms and so I often incorporate rehabilitative and preventative measures into my treatment plans to ensure long-term recovery.
I have been described as a 'Hybrid Chiropractor' because of the integrated treatment approach I take. I take the best bits of Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, Sports Exercise and Massage Therapy, to give the best possible care for my patients.
I have a special interest in treating acute neck and back pain and am continually amazed at how quickly chiropractic care can ease these painful injuries and improve the quality of life for my patients.
Sports and fitness have always been important features in my life and I enjoy treating sports injuries to help people reach their full potential. I have a special interest in treating athletes and incorporate a mixture of chiropractic care and sports rehabilitation exercises to ensure they reach optimum function and performance in their chosen sport.
I have a special interest in Paediatric Chiropractic and treating women both during and after pregnancy. There is so much Chiropractors can do for babies and expecting mummies; please feel free to have a chat with me, to see if I can help.
I love what I do and what I can do for my patients.
Chiropractic lets me use my knowledge and skills to directly impact a persons quality of life; I find it the most rewarding and exciting job and I hope to be able to help you!
