Does your baby always seem to look towards the same side? 👶

A consistent head-turning preference can sometimes be one of the early signs of torticollis. You may also notice:

🌿 A persistent head tilt
🌿 Difficulty turning in one direction
🌿 Feeding feels easier on one side
🌿 Discomfort during tummy time
🌿 Flattening on one side of the head

These signs can be subtle at first, especially when baby otherwise seems happy and healthy. 🤍

Early assessment can help you understand whether it is simply a temporary preference or whether your little one may benefit from additional support.

At Rise, we look gently at head and neck movement, positioning and everyday function. We also work alongside paediatric physiotherapists and other healthcare professionals when a collaborative approach is best. 🤝

If you have noticed a persistent preference or tilt, trust what you are seeing. 🫶

One of the things I’m most proud of at Rise isn’t just what we do—it’s who we do it with. 🤍

Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of building a team of incredible chiropractors who each bring their own personality, passions and strengths to the practice. While we’re all a little different, we share the same commitment to making every patient feel heard, supported and genuinely cared for.

I thought it would be fun to properly introduce you to the faces behind Rise!

Swipe through to meet the team, learn a few fun facts about each of us, and hopefully have a little laugh along the way.

As your baby grows, your body is constantly adapting. 🤍

If you’ve felt a short sharp pulling, stretching or catching sensation low in your abdomen when you roll over in bed, stand up quickly, cough or walk, you’re not alone. This is often what we call round ligament pain, and it’s a common part of pregnancy.

While the ligaments naturally stretch to support your growing uterus, there are small changes that may help you feel more comfortable throughout the day. 🌿

✨ Move a little more slowly when changing positions.
✨ Support your bump when coughing, sneezing or laughing.
✨ Avoid movements that consistently trigger discomfort where possible.
✨ Rest and change position if the pain starts to build.

We also know that the way your pelvis, hips and lower back are moving can influence how comfortable everyday activities feel during pregnancy.

At Rise, our role is to assess the bigger picture and offer gentle, individual support where appropriate. Because “common in pregnancy” does not mean you have to push through it without help. 🤍

Severe, persistent or unusual abdominal pain should always be discussed with your maternity provider. ✨

Motherhood asks so much of your body.

Long after everyone has stopped asking how you’re doing, your body may still be adapting to everything it has been through, pregnancy, birth, feeding, carrying your little one, interrupted sleep, and the countless moments of lifting, rocking and comforting. 🤍 Recovery doesn’t follow one neat timeline, and reaching a certain number of weeks postpartum doesn’t mean every ache, weakness or change should simply be ignored.

At Rise, we look at how the body is moving and adapting through every stage of the postpartum journey. Because support should not end when the newborn stage does. ✨

Recovery does not have a deadline. 🌸

As parents, we notice the little things.

A feeding that feels harder than it should.
A baby who always looks one way.
A little one who just doesn’t seem comfortable.

These signs don’t automatically mean something is wrong, but they are worth having assessed.

Early assessment can provide reassurance, identify concerns sooner, and help support your baby’s comfort, movement and development during these important early months.

Swipe through to see some common signs that may benefit from a professional assessment.

Remember: Trust your instincts. You know your baby better than anyone.

t is incredibly easy to scroll through social media and fill in that blank with whatever milestone another baby has just achieved ✨ whether it's rolling, sitting, crawling, or walking. That comparison can quickly create an undercurrent of worry, leaving you wondering if your child is on the right track 🕒

But development isn't a race, and at Rise, we believe milestones are entirely about the quality of movement, not the speed of the timeline 🌟

It matters less when your child sits up or crawls, and much more how they are transitioning between those movements. We look at whether they are using both sides of their body equally, if their movement looks fluid, and if their body feels comfortable 🌿

Forcing a baby into positions before their core structures are naturally integrated can cause them to bypass vital foundations. Our pediatric care is focused on ensuring their spine and primitive reflexes are integrating beautifully, giving them the freedom to move at their own unique pace 🗺️

Parents are already doing a wonderful job. We are simply here to partner with you and offer gentle guidance along the way 🤍

As children grow from infants into active toddlers, their bodies go through rapid structural transformations. They are actively mapping out balance, coordination, and strength as their spine transitions into a walking curve 🚶‍♂️

Sometimes, movement patterns like frequent tripping, toe-walking, or a persistent tilt aren't just quirks they will automatically grow out of. They can be clues that the body is actively compensating for a subtle area of tension or joint restriction in the pelvis or ankles 🔍

At Rise, our family-centred care focuses on looking at the root mechanics of how your child moves. We want to ensure that growing joints are moving freely so your busy kids can explore the playground with absolute comfort and confidence ✨

We also believe in collaborative care, working alongside fantastic paediatric physiotherapists and podiatrists when a team approach is best. If it’s time for a gentle check-in, our doors are open across our three Cape Town communities 📍

This weekend reminded me why I love what I do.

I had the privilege of attending the Birth in Balance Symposium alongside Dr Michela, Dr Myra and Dr Keshia, where we completed the ICPA Webster Certification course and practical examination, as well as advanced training in chiropractic care during labour and birth as part of our ICPA Perinatal Certification journey.

One of the highlights of the weekend was learning from the incredible Dr Jen Santos. Her passion for serving pregnant women and babies is infectious, and I left feeling inspired, challenged and so excited for what’s ahead.

One of the core values at Rise is that we never stop learning. I firmly believe that our patients deserve clinicians who are continually growing, refining their skills and staying up to date with the latest evidence and techniques.

I’m incredibly proud that Dr Michela, Dr Myra and Dr Keshia have all completed this training alongside me. Together, we’ll be bringing this knowledge back to our communities across Kenridge, Panorama and Table View, so that more women can access gentle, evidence-informed chiropractic care throughout pregnancy, labour, birth and the postpartum journey.

Thank you to everyone involved in such an inspiring weekend. I can’t wait to put what we’ve learned into practice.
