We’re so excited to launch Your Body Works’ new blog providing trusted chiropractic information for parents.
We know parents are seeking qualified, easy-to-understand information to support their children from pregnancy through childhood and beyond. There are many conditions that may present themselves throughout childhood which are not easily understood.
Your Body Works’ qualified and experienced chiropractors will write blog posts to educate parents on a range of conditions and general wellness advice to provide physical, nutritional and emotional care for children from pregnancy through to adolescence. Our beautiful babies don’t come with a manual so we’re sure you will find these few regular hints and tips handy along the way.
Choose a topic via the Categories headings to the right. For blog post notifications like us on Facebook and you’ll see them feature in your news feed; otherwise keep coming back to this page for more.
We’re always interested to hear what areas are of interest to you. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like us to cover a specific topic, and we’ll have our qualified chiropractors develop a blog post for you.
If you find our posts interesting and educational, please share with family and friends via links at the bottom of the page.

BLOG SERIES: #4. Finding a weak muscle is like uncovering a loose thread in a sweater—it’s rarely an isolated issue. Instead, it’s a sign of a broader pattern of dysfunction that needs to be fully mapped out.
That’s where a structured, full-body assessment protocol comes in. Using postural observation, gait analysis, strength testing, and joint mobility assessments, we can systematically piece together the bigger picture of what’s causing dysfunction.

In what seemed like overnight, our perceived ‘normal’ way of life, our jobs, education, entire industries, basic living practices and routines we all became accustomed to and dare I say, took for granted, changed and we as a global society had to adapt to a new way of living in ways we wouldn’t have conceived as possible.
