babies & children
Our approach supports your child's journey through all stages of their development and growth.
We start every visit by hearing about your baby specifically: how the birth went, how things have felt since, and anything at all that's been on your mind.
Babies come to us at every stage, from the first few weeks through to their first steps, and every kind of birth story walks through our door.
Some families come because they've noticed something specific: a preference for turning one way, a tension they can see or feel, evenings that feel harder than they should be. Others come simply because they want their baby checked over and settled in, or because they'd like a little reassurance about how feeding is going. The same instinct that has parents booking a first health visitor check, just extended a little further.
gentle and specific care
Babies are usually assessed in your arms, or lying comfortably. Some parts of the assessment may be uncomfortable for them, though many babies happily drift off to sleep part-way through.
Our work with little ones is gentle but very specific, as we take the time to notice the early, key areas of tension.
Babies and children are not small adults, and the approach to their care reflects this. It can look different. Sometimes it can look like the lightest touch, like we are barely doing anything. Adjustments with little ones take a less-is-more approach, and the window of opportunity to provide the right adjustment is a lot shorter than for an adult.
Their nervous systems are developing quickly during these early years, and those first years lay down the foundations that carry them forward into life. Which is why we believe paediatric care is the most impact time to receive chiropractic care.
toddlers & older children
Growing up moves fast. Crawling turns into walking, walking turns into running, and before long there's school, a new sport, and everything else that comes with it. Visits are kept relaxed and playful by design, so your child feels comfortable and settled, and you have room to ask whatever's on your mind.
We carry out an age-appropriate assessment for every child, looking at things like coordination, balance, posture, and how they move day to day, so we understand what's typical for them specifically and can shape their care accordingly.
Milestones are a natural, individual part of every child's growth, and it's something we're always happy to talk through with you: what's typical, what varies, and what we're noticing in your child specifically.
Whether you've noticed something specific or you're simply not sure and would like your baby or child checked as they grow, we're happy to help.
