Chiropractic Care for all ages and stages of a woman's life

The teenage years can be tumultuous.

Jam packed with sport, study and a constantly evolving social life can create  great memories and fun times, but also a lot of stress, both physically and emotionally. Chiropractic care can regulate your nervous system, ease discomfort from less than ideal study postures and help with sporting aches and pains. Many young women report an easing of period pains and relief from the associated back aches, headaches and nausea.

As women, our lives are busy!

Whether it is study, a career, family life or moving toward menopause we are giving our friends, family and the world 100% , often to the detriment of ourselves.

We know that women carry the mental and emotional  load of childcare, in relationships and likely at work too. The juggle of balancing everything creates a unique stress that is often so overlooked by society.

When you are ready to put yourself first for a change (its hard – I get it!) chiropractic can help.

From regulating your nervous system and managing stress, to easing our aches and pains, chiropractic care can help you feel more comfortable, sleep better and be part of a plan to improve your health and make it a priority. Reach out and lets chat about how we can support you, so you can show up as your best self. 

Pregnancy and Postnatal Chiropractic

Greater comfort in pregnancy, preparation for birth and recovery afterwards. 

Body Ready for Birth Program

At Nest Birth & Wellbeing all pregnant clients are invited to join our bespoke program called Body Ready for Birth from 20weeks. This is an online series of stretches and yoga classes alongside videos on Optimal Maternal positioning. This will complement your chiropractic adjustments for better body and pelvic balancing.  

 

Prenatal chiropractic

There’s a new life growing inside you. It’s the most amazing, wonderful, awe-inspiring time of life.

But it’s not all glowing. Pregnancy hormones, a growing bump, a changed centre of gravity and the sometimes daunting prospect of birth and motherhood can all have an impact on your wellbeing.

Chiropractic care in pregnancy uses modified treatment techniques to accommodate your growing bump. I’m certified in the Webster Technique, a particular adjustment that improves your pelvic alignment for a more comfortable pregnancy and easier birth.

Pregnancy chiropractic can help support you through the physical and emotional changes of pregnancy:

  • Hip & Pelvis pain
  • Back pain
  • Posture & balance
  • Nerve-related pain
  • Round ligament pain
  • Birth prep & recovery
  • Optimal positioning
  • Nervous System health & regulation

Seeing a chiropractor while pregnant may also help to improve your posture and prepare you for a healthy, active birth.

Pregnancy is an amazing time of transformation, both physically and emotionally. Chiropractic care is a natural way to help you navigate the changes. 

Postnatal Chiropractic Care

Congratulations on your baby’s arrival!

Your body has just been through an immense experience in delivering your baby and the changes are still happening as you recover from birth, start breastfeeding and cope with disrupted sleep.

Postnatal chiropractic care supports you through your fourth trimester, those critical months after your baby’s birth when you’re adjusting to a new way of life with ongoing physical changes.

You still have high levels of the relaxing hormone in your body, especially if you’re breastfeeding. That may cause ongoing instability in your spine, pelvis and other joints.

All postnatal clients will take part in the Postnatal Rehab Program which covers

  • pelvic floor exercises,
  • assesses your diastasis rectus,
  • pilates series
  • access to mums & bubs yoga videos in the membership portal.
A Postnatal chiropractic care visit can help you to:
  • Recover from birth
  • Align your spine and pelvis to improve your posture and comfort
  • Relieve joint pain
  • Improve your flexibility and mobility
  • Most importantly – supports your nervous system health – if you are able to regulate – your baby can co-regulate
