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.

In what some would call the longest year ever, Christmas is finally right around the corner. The Christmas trees are up and decorated, Christmas carols can be heard everywhere you go, and the shops are filled with everyone trying to find that ‘perfect’ present. Present shopping can be stressful enough as it is, let alone stopping to consider if said present helped support and enrich the development of your child’s brain.
Read More2020 has certainly proved to be the year of Challenges, not just locally, or even nationally, but on a global scale. 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. It has taken time, however as the dust starts to settle and we begin the baby steps of recovery and understanding what our new ‘normal’ is, we can start to appreciate just how adaptable we are.

Read MoreI’ve been nominated by our very own Dr Melissa (Chiropractor). Thanks, I think? Day 4 of twenty-five and I am realising how I’ve neglected my upper body these last 7 years of cycling. Ignoring all other athletic pursuits has helped me cultivate the physique of a T-rex. This is great for riding my bike. I have no unnecessary upper body weight or bulk to slow me down. However, it does explain why after 100 push ups over the last 4 days it hurts to eat, brush my teeth, or generally do anything that requires me to lift my arms.
Read MoreWe are all neurologically hardwired to learn through movement, play and interaction in our environment from the moment we’re born. From the initial breast crawl as a baby, through all our early milestones of rolling, crawling, walking and beyond, each skill set is achieved and built on from the one before and it is through these experiences that a baby builds their world.
