Why on earth should a newborn see a chiropractor? Chiropractic is about assessing and improving function rather than pain. Babies go through thousands of milestones in their first year of life alone. It is important that these milestones are reached and occur in the appropriate time frame. Assessing your baby’s nervous system function and removing any interference may allow your baby to appropriately reach these milestones. Adjustments for a baby look very different than for an adult. Often, all that is needed is sustained pressure – the same pressure you would use to check the ripeness of a tomato. It is safe, gentle and effective.
Information and Energy are Key to Health
Have you ever considered that in a state of total wellness, the body’s cells and organs always know what to do, and do it perfectly? The latest science is revealing the mechanisms that allow the body’s optimal functioning, and also what can cause it to lose resilience and efficacy, and to even malfunction. All of the science, along with NES’s extensive research and testing, has demonstrated that the root cause of malfunction – as well as the source of optimal functioning – exists beneath the physiology of the body. We must look to the physics underlying our biochemistry.

At Home Fitness
The last few months have been challenging. Many businesses, like F45 Training, have adapted extremely well. Since the lockdown, F45 has been running online, at-home zoom sessions called “F45 Live”. Members and non-members can sign up on the F45 Training App. Members participate in workouts at home with an F45 trainer live on the screen doing the session with them, giving them their queuing and motivation. The F45 Challenge app offers bodyweight workouts, weighted workouts, and recovery sessions at the click of a finger. All of these options have helped their members stay engaged, stay fit and stay on top of their fitness goals!
