Step 1 - Understanding Your History
Your first appointment allows approximately 60 unhurried minutes. We'll discuss your health, sleep, routines and concerns. For little ones, this may include pregnancy, birth and developmental history.
From the first weeks of pregnancy to newborns, toddlers, teens and grandparents, every body is always adapting. We’re passionate about helping families move, adapt and recover better, with personalised family chiropractic in Wimborne. Our care is calm, unhurried and shaped around each person and each stage of life, with time to understand your concerns, answer your questions and help you make informed choices.

Your nervous system is the communication network between your brain and your body. It guides how you move, rest, digest and respond to the world, and every day it’s adapting to different kinds of stress:
Your body is remarkably intelligent. It is always working to adapt, from the changes of pregnancy to the rapid growth of a baby and the everyday demands on a busy family.
Our care focuses on the relationship between the nervous system, spine and musculoskeletal function, while recognising that health is influenced by many factors.
That’s why we look at the whole picture, not just the spine. We’ll answer every question honestly and in plain language, and give you practical ideas to support your family at home too.
Pregnancy is one of the most extraordinary things a body can do. Your body goes through a remarkable number of changes in just a few months, and it adapts to them in remarkable ways.
As your baby grows, the extra weight shifts your centre of gravity and adds load to your lower back. Hormonal changes, including relaxin, affect your ligaments, while your posture adapts week by week.
Chiropractic care may help with some pregnancy-related back pain and musculoskeletal discomfort, depending on your circumstances. Many mums-to-be also come to us with neck and upper back aches.
Whenever feels right for you. Some women start before they're even pregnant, to look after their body ahead of the months to come. Others visit when they notice aches or stiffness, and some once their baby has arrived.
Wherever you're starting from, we'll shape your care around how you feel and what matters to you.
Our pregnancy pillows let you lie face down comfortably, with no pressure on your bump. Many mums tell us it's the first time in months they've been able to lie on their tummy.
We adapt every visit to your stage of pregnancy, and we're happy to work alongside your midwife where appropriate.
Lifting, carrying, feeding and broken nights ask a lot of a new mum's back and neck.
We're here whenever you feel ready, and you're welcome to bring your baby along.
Every baby deserves a caring start in life. During their first year, their brain and nervous system develop rapidly, alongside remarkable changes in movement, coordination and physical development.
Birth is a big physical journey for a baby too. Long labours, assisted deliveries and caesarean births can involve different physical demands. That’s why we take time to understand your baby’s birth history, development and any concerns you may have.
Our approach to baby chiropractic care includes:
We believe parents should feel informed and comfortable with every decision. If anything needs medical attention, we’ll guide you towards your GP or health visitor. Chiropractic care does not replace routine developmental checks or medical treatment.
From infancy to adolescence, a child’s nervous system is growing and adapting all the time. As children become more active and independent, their bodies encounter new physical demands, from playground tumbles to sport, school bags and screen time.
Our gentle, child-friendly care is shaped around each child’s individual needs and stage of development.
When assessing your child, we consider:
Our children’s chiropractor in Wimborne takes time to understand the whole child, rather than focusing only on where they may be experiencing discomfort.
We explain everything before we do it, go at your child’s pace and adapt our techniques to their age, comfort and individual needs. A parent always stays with them throughout, helping make each appointment a calm, reassuring experience.
We want every member of your family to feel comfortable, listened to and involved in their care.
Your first appointment allows approximately 60 unhurried minutes. We'll discuss your health, sleep, routines and concerns. For little ones, this may include pregnancy, birth and developmental history.
We'll carry out an appropriate examination, explain what we find in plain language and discuss whether chiropractic care may be suitable.
Where appropriate, techniques may include gentle cranial work, Activator adjustments using a small handheld instrument, and touch-and-hold methods.
Follow-up visits are generally described as 20 or 30 minutes, with care adapted to individual needs.
Chiropractic care may be suitable during pregnancy, depending on your health and individual circumstances. We adapt our techniques and positioning to each stage, use pregnancy pillows for comfort and always begin with a full history. Where appropriate, we’ll recommend speaking with your midwife or GP.
Yes. We see babies from their first weeks, using a very light touch that’s completely different from adult care. We’ll explain what an assessment involves and whether any care is appropriate. Chiropractic is not a treatment for general infant developmental, feeding or medical conditions.
Always. Parents stay with their children for every visit. We explain everything beforehand, take our time and make sure your child feels comfortable throughout.
Family rates have been offered for families seeking care together. Please contact us for the current fees and arrangements before booking.
