Baby & Children's Chiropractor Malvern East
The first year of life is full of exciting changes. Babies are learning to lift their heads, roll, sit, crawl and explore the world around them. Because development happens so quickly during those early months, we believe it's important to make sure babies are moving well and reaching milestones with confidence. |
● A preference for turning their head to one side
● Difficulty with tummy time
● A flat spot on the head (plagiocephaly)
● A preference for feeding on one side
● Concerns about movement and development
● Challenges with rolling, sitting or crawling
● Or they simply want to be proactive and have their baby checked.
Our chiropractors have completed additional postgraduate studies in paediatric chiropractic care and use extremely gentle, age-appropriate techniques suitable for newborns, babies and young children.
Unlike adult chiropractic adjustments, which may involve more force, techniques for infants are altered appropriately, using techniques specifically designed for your child’s age and developmental stage. The care for babies is very gentle on their delicate little bodies, using incredibly gentle finger pressure.
From toddlers taking their first steps to school-aged children and active teenagers, growing bodies experience a variety of physical demands. Sport, school, technology, heavy school bags and long periods of sitting can all place different stresses on developing bodies.
Parents commonly bring their children to see us for:
● Neck and back discomfort
● Sports-related aches and pains
● Postural changes
● Scoliosis
● Growing bodies and changing movement patterns
● General concerns about movement and coordination
| We know that navigating your baby's development can sometimes feel overwhelming, which is why we love providing practical support for parents beyond the treatment room. Tummy Time Workshop (0–6 Months) Our Tummy Time Workshop covers: ● Why tummy time is important ● How much tummy time your baby needs at each age ● Different tummy time positions ● Tips for babies who don't enjoy tummy time ● Ways to help prevent flat spots (plagiocephaly) ● Simple ways to support development at home | Little Movers Workshop (5 Months+)
