Can you hear that?

You can literally hear the gas releasing that’s been stuck in there.

Toes to nose is such a simple exercise, and it can make a big difference for babies who are struggling to release trapped gas. The movement works through the hips and low spine, right where the nerves controlling digestion sit, so freeing that up may help things move again.

If you’re noticing your baby is constipated, straining a lot, or finding it hard to p**p comfortably, this is a great one to try.

👣 constipated or straining more than usual
👣 p**ping seems uncomfortable or forced
👣 gassy and unsettled after feeds

Your tests come back clear, there’s no medical emergency, but you still don’t feel right.

You’ve had the blood tests, the X-ray, the MRI, and everything says you’re fine. But your head spins, you get headaches and migraines, your neck’s sore, you’re puffed out of breath doing basically nothing, and you never know what kind of day your body’s going to give you. Then someone comes along and “diagnoses” you with POTS.

Here’s the thing, POTS is a blanket term for nervous system dysregulation. It’s good news there’s no medical emergency, but it’s not good news that you’re left with all these symptoms and no real solutions. Your spine and your nervous system run the whole show here, and it’s time we start measuring your health, not just ruling out sickness.

In our practice we use functional motion X-ray technology to find the root cause behind your POTS diagnosis and help your body heal from the inside out. That usually looks like:

• Hands on work with an expert practitioner
• At home tools
• In house workshops
• Rehabilitation you do at home

This isn’t for the person chasing a quick fix. This is for the person who wants long term change. We’re not Panadol chiropractors. We’re not b***y call chiropractors. We’re neurologically focused chiropractors helping your body express life differently, visit to visit.

Feeding trouble? Try this 🤲🏻

There’s a bone called the sphenoid that sits right behind the nose, and it actually helps shape the roof of the mouth. If it gets compressed during birth, which happens more than people realise, there’s simply less room in there for bub to work with.

With some really gentle pressure we can help that bone decompress and open the space back up. More room in the oral cavity means an easier latch and a much more settled feed.

It’s such a small thing but it can make a massive difference for mum and bub.

One of the easiest exercises you can do for a newborn, and it takes ten seconds.

It’s called toes to nose. You just gently guide their toes up towards their nose and let their spine move into this beautiful flexion pattern.

Most babies spend a lot of time tense and arching backwards, which creates compression through the spine. This does the opposite. It opens up that tiny, beautiful spinal canal, and that simple movement pattern can release pressure sitting on their nervous system, the same pressure that might be behind them being constipated or just wound up and unsettled.

• Gentle flexion through the spine
• Helps release pressure on the nervous system
• Can ease constipation and unsettled behaviour

Slow and gentle every time, and watch how quickly they settle into it.

Your face pain, headaches, and mouth issues could all be coming from the same nerve.

It’s called the trigeminal nerve, and it’s a big one. It runs through your face, jaw, and neck, feeding directly into your nervous system.

When something’s irritated or blocked along that pathway, it rarely shows up as just one issue. You’ll often see a combo of these three:

🧠 Facial pain or tension
🧠 Headaches
🧠 Mouth and tongue issues

Same nerve, different symptoms, same root cause.

🥱

Anxiety is in your body, not just your mind.

Your vagus nerve is the longest nerve in your body. It runs from your brainstem, through your thoracic spine, and out to your heart, lungs, and gut. It is the primary communication line of your parasympathetic nervous system, the part of you designed to rest, recover, and regulate.

And here’s what most people don’t know:
• The vagus nerve has direct innervation through the thoracic spine
• When the vertebrae of your mid-back are restricted or misaligned, they can interfere with that signal
• The message from your brain to your body becomes distorted
• Your nervous system interprets that distortion as threat
• And your body responds accordingly: tight chest, shallow breath, racing heart, low-grade anxiety

When there is disruption anywhere along that neurological pathway, your body does what it’s designed to do. It adapts. But adaptation has a cost, and over time, that cost shows up as symptoms.

The thoracic adjustment is about restoring clear communication through that system.

Yes, you might hear some pops. Yes, they feel good. But the pop is not the point. The point is what happens when the nervous system can finally send and receive without interference.
Less noise. More signal.

That is what we are doing here.
