Our eyes and inner ears work together to help us keep our vision steady while our head moves. It’s called the vestibulo-ocular reflex (VOR), and it’s something our bodies do automatically throughout the day without us even thinking about it.

By gently moving a child’s head and observing how their eyes respond, we can get a better understanding of how their visual and vestibular systems are working together. 🧠

These systems play an important role in how we move through the world, from looking around a classroom to playing, exploring and taking part in everyday activities.

It’s one small part of the bigger picture when it comes to understanding a child’s nervous system and their individual needs 🌱 by @marythechiro

Come along to a paediatric chiropractic session with Dr Mary 🌱

Dr Mary is assessing her young patient before using adjustments to help release tension and support comfortable movement.

And yes… there are some satisfying little cracks along the way 👀

Every movement in an assessment has a purpose… watch Dr Mary test/assess for Primitive reflexes 🌱

She uses a soft brush on our little client’s cheeks, palms, and the soles of his feet to assess how his nervous system responds to the stimulus for the Rooting, Palmar and Babinski reflexes. You’ll also see her moving his head from side to side to assess for the ATNR reflex.

These simple activities give us valuable insight into a child’s development and help us create the best plan to support their individual needs, all while keeping the experience calm, comfortable, and full of smiles! 🧡 by @marythechiro

Many people find their way into my office after a long journey through health care.

Often, their nervous system have been living in chronic, heightened state of fight, flight or freeze.

When the body doesn’t feel safe, it does its best to simply survive… not to heal.

Nervous system-focused chiropractic care supports balance and communication between the brain and body, creating space for healing.

Your body is not broken,
It may simply be asking for a different kind of care

It’s okay to take it at your own pace. There are no right words, there is no right way, and no right timeline. It’s okay not to know a way through this. Whatever you are feeling, there is space and safety in witnessing your process. Take care of your nervous system, be gentle with yourself and with one another, we’ll heal when we’re ready- together❤️‍🩹 taken in Bondi Beach, Sydney by @marythechiro
