At Align Chiropractic & Physiotherapy, we believe that every stage of growth deserves the right kind of care. From newborns adjusting to life outside the womb, to children developing posture and coordination, our gentle, non-invasive treatments can help ease discomfort, support healthy movement, and encourage natural development.
Chiropractic Care for Babies
Childbirth is a remarkable process — but for some babies, it can also be a physically stressful one. During birth, gentle but powerful forces act on a baby’s body, sometimes causing compression, mild joint restrictions, or soft tissue strain. These can affect how comfortably they feed, sleep, or move in the early weeks.
Our chiropractors use extremely gentle, age-appropriate techniques to help release tension and restore freedom of movement to the spine and joints.
The pressure used in an infant adjustment is often compared to the pressure you’d use to test a ripe tomato — light, precise, and calming.
Chiropractic may help with:
- Feeding or latching difficulties
- Reflux or colic
- Constipation and other digestive issues
- Irritability or unsettled behaviour
- Preference to turn the head to one side
- General stiffness or tension after birth
By supporting normal spinal motion and nerve communication, chiropractic care may help your baby’s body function more comfortably and naturally — promoting better feeding, sleep, and movement patterns.
Physiotherapy for Children
As children grow, their bodies go through enormous changes. They develop balance, coordination, and strength — but they also experience falls, sports injuries, and postural strain from modern habits like long hours of screen time.
Our physiotherapists work with children of all ages to help them move well, grow strong, and recover from injuries quickly and safely.
Physiotherapy can help with:
- Postural issues or growing pains
- Sports or playground injuries
- Muscle tightness or joint restriction
- Developmental coordination difficulties
- Recurrent sprains or mobility issues
Treatment typically includes fun, tailored exercises, stretching, and gentle manual therapy to improve flexibility and confidence in movement.
