Haha! Pumpkin & Pickle Baby saw this and thought of you!
When your tummy time is on point and your nervous system is happy… you get this level of cuteness 😍
Balanced babies = calmer babies.
Better digestion, better sleep, better regulation.
Chiropractic for babies is gentle, safe and all about helping their little bodies work the way they’re meant to

Say hello to Livvy — our favourite associate chiropractor who joined the Active Family team in January 2025!
Livvy uses McTimoney Chiropractic techniques, which are gentle and precise.
She has a special love for helping athletes: she’s competed in showjumping at international level and knows firsthand how chiropractic care can support performance and recovery.
Outside the clinic, Livvy is very involved in the equestrian world, volunteers in British Eventing, and she also enjoys board games at her local game shop.
Also joining Livvy in clinic is her assistance dog Atlas, a small black Labrador. She’ll be in clinic with her — feel free to ask any questions!
👉 Fun fact: Livvy is halfway through an MSc in Animal Chiropractic, so will soon be able to help the 4-legged members of the family as well!

Are your knees feeling stiff and achey? Do they pop and crunch when you bend and/or straighten them? Do they look a bit bigger than you think they should? These symptoms can indicate osteoarthritis in a joint. This can be caused by a lot of different factors, including injury, wear and tear and other systemic issues such as metabolic syndrome, uric acid and weight-gain. The good news is – we can help! Make an appointment with one of our expert clinicians for an assessment diagnosis and treatment plan. Treatment options include MLS® Laser Therapy which is scientifically proven to reduce the pain and inflammation associated with arthritis, offering a safe, effective and drug-free treatment.

Since February 2017 I’ve had the genuine pleasure of welcoming many patients to my treatment room at the Ashcroft Therapy centre and have thoroughly enjoyed establishing myself in the heart of Deddington’s community in Hudson Street.
Active Family Chiropractic has been on wonderful journey since its conception after the arrival of our daughter in 2015. What started out as locuming for other Chiropractic clinics around the southern half of the country turned into a passion to want to do more. So I stepped up and started doing home visits, but enjoyed providing Chiropractic care to the local community so much, I wanted to expand and set up my own clinic.
So it happened!...And since opening, I have had the best time providing spinal health advice, treatment and help to all ages from babies of 3 days old and struggling to feed and sleep to patients 92 years young, wanting to walk taller and straighter.
Chiropractic care to (and AFC ) isn’t just about being pain free when you hurt your back or neck, or cant walk. Its about moving well and being well. If your spine moves well, you are well because all that vital information can get from your brain or body to where its supposed to be, helping you to make the best informed decisions about what your body needs - more heat, move left, faster heart beats, more adrenaline etc. If it doesnt move well, muscle spasms, ligament sprains, disc injuries can occur, causing swelling around the joints and nerves, which will affect the messages travelling through the, just as pressure on a hosepipe would affect the flow of water travelling through it.
This is what we do - we help the spinal joints to move and work as well as they possibly can, so your nerves can transmit 100% of their messages to keep you doing what you need and love to do! And now, over 2 years later, we’ve moved to a much bigger room (Thank you Ashcroft :)) to allow us to serve the community better!
From providing a small play area for when kids come in either for their own spinal health checks or accompanying mum and dad, to liasing with other allied professionals such as the wonderful Kerry at Deddington Physiotherapy, or the fabuous Jennie at Reset Sports Therapy, Vincent at Motion Aid, Marie-Therese at Winning-Health Accupuncture or Jemma at Hypnobirthing Doulas - there are just too many to mention them all! We hope that Active Family Chiropractic can help you on your journey to moving better and achieving your health goals, and look forward to meeting you.
