While fast, intense, heavy exercise is all the rage right now, this slow, deliberate, ‘underdog’ movement is well worth adding to your fitness routine. Shakira Akabusi explains all the hidden benefits

A great conference catching up the some of the leading minds in Chiropractic Paediatrics and also old class mates! Well said Zoe and lovely seeing you all again.

This past week, Sarah and Zoe attended a seminar in Oxford learning more about infant feeding, tongue tie and fascia. These are topics that we already know a great deal about and and work with babies in the clinic who have issues surrounding feeding and tongue tie on a daily basis. So why attend another seminar? Quite simply to be the best we can be with the most up-to-date evidence based information. There is always something more to learn and always additional skills to glean.

Your spine protects the system that controls every function in your body.

When structure is restored, the body has the opportunity to heal, adapt, and thrive the way it was designed to. Chiropractic isn’t just about pain relief — it’s about helping people express their full potential.

Most people think we “crack” babies and are often hesitant to take them to a chiropractor. We use very gentle pressure when looking after our new borns and infants as brilliantly demonstrated below.

A question that always comes up during our seminars...

“How much pressure do you use on a newborn?”

Here’s the honest answer:

👆 About the same gentle pressure you’d use to test the ripeness of a tomato.

We’re not cracking anything.
We’re not manipulating forcefully.

We’re restoring movement to a joint that has lost its normal range — gently, precisely, intentionally.

The nervous system doesn’t need force.
It needs direction.

💡 Share this with a parent who’s been hesitant or unsure about getting their baby checked.

Our paediatric chiropractors are here to help.

How Chiropractors Can Help with Feeding Difficulties & Tongue Tie

Feeding challenges in babies — like trouble latching, fussiness, or preference for one side — can sometimes be linked to tension or restricted movement in the neck, jaw, or shoulders. These restrictions can make it harder for babies to coordinate sucking and swallowing, especially if they have a tongue tie (ankyloglossia).

Pediatric chiropractors use gentle, precise techniques to release tension and improve mobility in the head, neck, and jaw. This can support:
✅ Better latch and feeding efficiency
✅ Reduced discomfort for baby and parent
✅ Improved jaw and tongue function, complementing tongue tie care

Care is always safe, gentle, and tailored to your baby’s needs — no cracking or forceful adjustments. The goal is to help your little one feed, rest, and grow more comfortably. 💕

🎃 Happy Halloween from the Hampstead Chiropractic Clinic! 👻

Is your baby getting enough tummy time? Many parents only offer it once or twice a day, but did you know you can place your baby on their tummy every time you put them down — even for just a few seconds or minutes?

The more tummy time your little one gets, the more opportunities they have to build strength, coordination, and the motor skills needed for milestones like rolling, crawling, and sitting up. It also helps prevent flat spots on the head and supports healthy spinal and neck development — allowing your baby to turn their head freely in both directions.

If you notice your baby prefers to look one way or seems to have difficulty turning their head, we’re here to help. Gentle chiropractic care can support proper alignment and mobility so your baby can grow and move comfortably. 💜

Wishing you and your family a spooktacular and healthy Halloween! 🎃🕸️

Moreover, these days, surgery for the back, knee, or shoulder is usually considered a last resort — and rightly so.

Your MRI doesn’t tell your story it only whispers a few lines.
Imaging shows structure, not strength.
It can’t measure resilience, adaptation, or how your body feels and functions.

Far too many surgeries are done because of what’s seen on a screen
tiny “abnormalities” that are often just normal signs of living.
Age-appropriate changes, not emergencies.

Before you rush to fix what may not be broken,
start with movement, education, and a real conversation.
You are not your MRI.
You are more than an image
you are function, healing, and potential in motion
