The beginning of life for your child creates many new stimuli and experiences that create the most amount of change compared to any other timeframe in life. Within that first year your baby will grow by more than 50% of it’s original size whilst their brain doubles! During this timeframe it can be stressful for your child’s musculoskeletal system due to the excessive growth and changes to the overall body in a short period of time.

Chiropractic care is recognized as being a way to help decrease pain and increase overall functional well-being. Chiropractor’s may help you achieve a healthier lifestyle by giving you strategies to overcome stress, injuries, pain, and other musculoskeletal conditions. This can all be done with various methods and not one person is treated the same to the other hence why many modalities are used to make the changes needed to make a difference!
Remedial Massage is the oldest form of physical therapy, this specific form is more than just a relaxation technique. What Remedial Massage aims to do is find the “knots” also known as trigger points and apply pressure to them. What this does is release the knots where the pressure is applied allowing the muscles to free up. Our select team of practitioners are qualified to practice remedial therapy meaning that you are in good hands when choosing our services at The Melbourne Chiropractor.
