- 💭Thoughts 💭 -
Our minds are crazy. 🤪
How we think, what we think, why we think.
I really enjoy these images by 😍
They take interesting concepts and put them simply.
Worth a follow I reckon. 👍🏻
The other thing that helps us think more clearly…
A Chiropractic Adjustment.
Research has shown that when we adjust the spine it activates the prefrontal cortex! ✨🧠✨
Which means clearer thinking AND better control of lower brain centers that drive anxiety & worry! 😌
Get in touch if your brain and nervous system need some love!! 🥰

- Workspace Week -
It’s workspace week, so it’s a great time to assess your workspace and how it might impact on your health.
Making sure if you’re sitting that you are set up ergonomically to provide the least amount of strain to your neck and low back. Maybe consider a sit stand desk?
If you do manual handling of heavy loads or repetitive activities making sure that you’re using your knees to get low, keeping your natural low back curve and holding loads close to your body. Lifting and twisting at the same time may put extra strain on your lumbar discs.
Devices should be held in front of your eyes to reduce forced flexion of the neck.
If you’re feeling pain/stiffness/aching or other discomfort at work, get in touch with us at and we can help get you feeling better and advise changes you can make in your workspace to stay feeling great long term. 😊👍🏻
Thanks to for the video!

- 📘📚School Holiday Study 📚 📕-
It’s getting to crunch time for older students, and many will be using their holiday time to study for their final assessments.
This can be a hard time on their body and nervous system! 🤪😩🤯
Lots of sitting, screen time, heads forward buried in the books, plus the added layer of stressing about marks, future plans, the end of a safe high school space, entering the workforce etc can be a lot for the nervous system to process!! 🤯🤯🤯
we are here to help. 😊
Whether it is for addressing physical symptoms like headaches, neck & back pain, or more subtle nervous system regulation and advice for anxiety.
Advice about posture and study setup. Lifestyle advice such as getting some exercise or taking regular study breaks, eating healthily or stress management.
Sometimes this advice can be more easily accepted by kids coming from a professional than from parents!! 👍🏻
Research also shows that chiropractic adjustments help to activate the brain’s prefrontal cortex, which will help your child to think more clearly and to feel more calm during this crucial time.
🧠💡
If you think we can help, get in touch. ☎️
We want our community’s young adults to thrive heading into what is a crazy time in their life!
Good luck VCE kids!!

- 🤰🏼Pregnancy Chiropractic Care 🤰🏻-
Thankyou so much to the and from for a great Saturday afternoon of learning about the neurophysiology, biomechanics and care of the 3rd trimester of pregnancy.
people are so fortunate to have Dr Katelyn in our community.
She is a fierce advocate for thriving mums and bubs! Her work in educating local midwives and other professions of the region have seen so many women and children benefit from discovering how chiropractic care can be so beneficial during and after pregnancy.
The great turnout of our local Chiro community is a testament to the fact that Geelong Chiro’s take our care of the pregnant population very seriously!
At we are always striving to learn more and provide the best care we can for our clients & their growing families.
The knowledge shared on Saturday was priceless! Thankyou 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
