Today, we honour the strength of premature babies and the incredible courage of the families and healthcare teams who care for them.

Each year, millions of babies are born too soon, and every one of them deserves the best possible start to life. Early awareness,
compassionate care, and collaboration across healthcare professions make all the difference in helping these little ones thrive.

As chiropractors, we recognise the importance of gentle, evidence-informed care for families navigating the early days of parenthood.

Supporting maternal health, reducing stress, and encouraging optimal function of the body’s systems all contribute to healthier outcomes for both parents and babies.

THE VISUAL FIELD

The space in front of you that your nervous system constantly scans, even before you consciously realise it.

Your body’s number one priority is simple: stay alive.
And to do that, the nervous system is always looking ahead, predicting, preparing, and reacting.

Just like pain, the body responds before something happens.
If pain only arrived after injury, we’d never avoid danger. Pain exists as a protective system — an alarm that fires early so you can change direction before damage occurs.

The visual field works in the same way.

When a stimulus enters your visual field (like a ball moving toward you), your nervous system reacts instantly — but here’s the important part:

🔹 It reacts based on past injuries, experiences, emotional patterns, and traumas still held in the system.
🔹 The body remembers what hurt you before, and it adjusts your movement, posture, and reactions to avoid repeating that same pattern.
🔹 This happens automatically, often before you’re even aware of it.

In Be Activated, we see this constantly:
When the nervous system is overloaded or stuck in old patterns, the body reacts defensively — tightening, bracing, collapsing, or compensating — even when the threat is small.
But once we reset the system and restore proper activation patterns, that defensive response calms down. The body becomes more efficient, more coordinated, and more resilient.

Your visual field isn’t just about seeing —
It’s a window into how your nervous system prepares you for the world, moment by moment.

This is why so many BeActivated techniques focus on clearing old stress, restoring proper sequence, and allowing the nervous system to respond clearly instead of react automatically.

If you're curious about how your nervous system responds to the world around you — come chat to us. Your body remembers everything… our job is to help it respond better.

On World Diabetes Day, we join the global community in raising awareness about the importance of early detection, prevention,
and management of diabetes.

Chiropractic care supports people living with chronic conditions, like diabetes, by promoting better movement, reduced stress, and enhanced quality of life. All key aspects of maintaining overall wellness.

Through lifestyle education, regular activity, and spinal health,

Chiropractors encourage proactive habits that help the body function at its best. Managing diabetes isn’t just about blood sugar, it’s about supporting the whole person: physically, mentally, and emotionally.

Move well. Eat well. Live well!

True or False? Chiropractors only treat patients for neck and back pain.

False! While most patients seeking the help of a chiropractor may have back pain, chiropractors can treat a variety of conditions
and regions of the body (not only your spine).

Chiropractors treat:
• Jaw pain
• Headaches
• Tennis elbow
• Knee injuries
• And so much more!

Good posture isn’t just about looking confident; it’s about keeping your spine healthy and your body moving freely.

Chiropractors know that small daily habits can make a big difference:

• Keep your shoulders back and relaxed
• Align your ears over your shoulders when sitting or standing
• Take regular breaks from sitting - stretch and move!
• Support your lower back with proper seating
• Strengthen your core to help maintain natural spinal curves.

Your spine supports your entire body - treat it well!

If you experience pain or discomfort, a CASA-registered chiropractor can guide you with personalised advice and exercises to improve your posture and prevent future issues.

Nutrition + Movement = A Healthier Spine
A balanced diet reduces inflammation and supports recovery from back pain. Combined with chiropractic care and regular movement, you’re giving your spine the best chance
at long-term health.

• Eat more whole foods
• Choose healthy snacks over processed options
• Keep your body, and your spine, moving

This October, celebrate National Nutrition Week by making small, sustainable changes. Your spine (and your future self) will thank you!
