“I often say in my classes that the greatest benefit of working with the breastfeeding dyad is that we, pediatric Chiropractors, have the opportunity to get our hands on more babies to deliver skilled adjustments that serve, not only to restore the breastfeeding relationship (which, in and of itself, is a critical aspect of the physical and emotional health of the baby), but it also serves as early intervention of neurodevelopmental challenges. The very same subluxations or misalignments (stress, strain, trauma, etc…) that initially interrupts the baby’s ability to feed, later can interrupt the way the child can or cannot interact normally with their environment.” – Lynn Gerner, DC, FICPA

There’s a reason top athletes include stretching and flexibility exercise into their training. But you don’t have to be a pro athlete to reap the benefits of flexibility work! When joints can freely move as intended, it makes everyday activities easier and more comfortable plus it helps prevent injury! Talk to your doctor of chiropractic to learn how you can move better.
