At PX Docs practices like ours - we refer to the combination of factors that lead to profound nervous system dysfunction as the “Perfect Storm.” 🌪️

This concept describes how a series of stressors and traumatic events (often beginning before birth), create a cascading effect that disrupts normal nervous system development and locks the body into patterns of dysfunction that run far deeper than most people, or most doctors, realise.

It’s not that other approaches are wrong.

It’s that the dysfunction is too severe and deeply rooted for them to address the problem on their own.

For most adult and paediatric patients today, dealing with the stuck and stored trauma in the somatic system (subluxation) is the most powerful and effective first step:

Step 1: Is REPAIR
Step 2: Is REGULATION

Some seasons ask more of you.

Not just clinically.

But emotionally and energetically.

To sit with a patient in their most vulnerable state…

To hold steady when their nervous system is overwhelmed…

To think clearly when the room is heavy…

To lead with certainty when the world outside feels uncertain…

That takes something deeper than training.

It takes a decision - every single morning, to show up fully.

Because what happens inside these walls is so important!

While the outside world moves fast, argues loudly and reacts impulsively…

Inside this space we regulate - so we can assess deeply and listen beyond symptoms.

We stay grounded: so we can see patterns others have missed.

We stay calm: so we can co-regulate with the child who cannot settle.

And we stay focused: so we can navigate complexity with conviction.

That doesn’t happen by accident.

It requires ongoing study.
It requires self-regulation.
It requires personal standards that don’t waver with our mood, news cycles or life’s pressures.

There are days when practitioners carry their own life challenges quietly.

And yet, when the door opens our presence becomes absolute.

Not because it’s easy.

But because the person in front of us deserves our best.

This work is not transactional.

It’s deeply human.

And if you have ever felt truly seen, truly heard, truly understood here…

Know that it is intentional.

Know that there is strength behind the calm you experience.

Know that there is discipline behind the clarity.

Know that there is heart behind the science.

To serve at this level requires powerful energy.

To sustain it requires purpose.

And for those of us called to do this work, is an absolute privilege.

Especially on the hard days 🩷

More and more Chiropractors are coming to us wanting to learn about our advanced diagnostic processes..

One of the key components has for most of Ashley’s career been his ability to read and deeply analyse an X-ray.

While most Chiropractors are looking at surface level things like ruling out pathology or assessing the state of spinal curves.

We go deep to analyse neurological function.

And when you understand how to read one, it’s literally like a road map to understanding the inner workings of the patient’s body.

From deep understanding, comes tailored, root cause solutions.

And when you address the root cause, incredible things happen.

And it’s our super power!

Taking kids who are wound up, anxious, overwhelmed, distrusting and shut down and watching them transform before our eyes is the greatest thing in the world.

Parents - no matter how hard things feel right now, we want you to know your child always has the ability to heal! 💝

University teaches you what Chiropractic is.

But in real practice you need to become a competent, confident and certain Chiropractor as quickly as possible.

And for most graduates, the gap between the two is huge!

This shows up early in practice as:

🆘 Not knowing how to onboard, educate or retain patients
🆘 Ineffective and under scheduled care plans
🆘 Relying on a limited range of basic techniques, the compromise your effectiveness in practice
🆘 Uncertainty with challenging cases
🆘 Feeling overwhelmed, unsupported and full of self doubt

But we want you to know, you’re not behind and it’s not your fault.

You’re standing at the exact point most Chiropractors reach early in their career - but few talk about.

And the problem is that most practices expect certainty and high performance from their Associates, before it’s been developed.

At This Is Life, we do it differently - we meet you where you are and help you build, grow and thrive from there..

The transformation we have seen in this little human is life changing 💖

I was reflecting on her incredible journey with her Mum just today.. 🥹

When we meet this little lady, she was full of defiance, incredibly distrusting, took two hours to get to sleep each night, and was so dysregulated that she couldn’t come into the clinic for treatment without having the most intense meltdown we have ever seen.

We spent weeks building trust, and unwinding the stress that was stuck in her little nervous system.

And we did it by treating her in the hallway on the floor, clinging to Mum, because she was too overwhelmed to come into the clinic.

Some days it was really hard, and at times we questioned if we could crack this case.

But we persisted - with Mum’s blessing and absolute belief in us and the process.

So we kept going!

And the result, is a completely different child.

Not only have we given this precious little soul the chance to live a carefree life as all little kids should, but we have given her family back their quality of life, sense of connection and joy.

We take this work so incredibly seriously, because it’s life changing in every way.

School brings a massive shift to a child’s nervous system that was just starting to get used to being in parasympathetic mode during the summer break.

When the nervous system is dysregulated and the vagus nerve is dysfunctional - transitions become neurologically impossible to process.

Back-to-school overwhelm isn’t a character flaw, a parenting failure, or a sign that your child “just can’t handle school.”

It’s a nervous system asking for help.

And here’s the truth ➡️ the same neuroplasticity that allowed stress patterns to get stuck in your child’s body - can allow new patterns to form. Because your child is designed to adapt, regulate, and thrive.

Don’t wait until you’re three months into the school year, in crisis mode and getting daily calls from school.

Let’s start with an INSiGHT nervous system scan, so we can evaluate the state of their operating system.

As a PX Docs practice, the team at This Is Life understand that behaviour is all about neurology, that transitions require regulation, and that healing happens from the inside out.

Your child’s brain wants to work properly.

Their nervous system wants to regulate.

They want to handle transitions, enjoy school, and feel calm in their own body.

Sometimes they just need help to get things back online.

The rest of the school year can look completely different if you address the nervous system first.

Every day we hear the same story…

I’ve done all the good stuff - therapies, practitioners, specialists, detoxes, supplement protocols, meditation, breathwork and healthy eating…

You’ve done everything you have been recommended, you see glimpses of progress but then end up back at square one.

Here is what every well meaning “so called expert” on the internet is failing to understand!

You can’t regulate a nervous system that needs to be repaired FIRST.

It’s like trying to remodel a house on a cracked foundation.

Neurologically Focused Chiropractic Care repairs the foundation first.

And when we do, all the other wellness practices and healthy living habits finally work the way they are supposed to.

Doing the right thing in the right order is the missing link and secret weapon every single time.
