Care during pregnancy and postpartum
Supporting mums through pregnancy, birth, and recovery with gentle, neurologically focused care.
Care through every season of motherhood
At Beachside Family Chiropractic, we love supporting mums through every stage of their journey. From the early days of planning for pregnancy, through each trimester, preparing for birth, and into those postpartum weeks, our approach is neurologically focused, gentle, and family-centred. Our goal is to provide gentle, individualised care that considers your changing body and individual needs throughout each stage of pregnancy.
Our team has completed further training in prenatal, pregnancy, and postpartum care through the Perinatal Experience, giving us added tools and insights to walk alongside you with confidence and care.

Preparing for Birth
We use gentle, pregnancy-specific techniques tailored to your changing body and individual presentation. Our neurologically focused approach considers your nervous system, comfort and physical changes throughout pregnancy, with care adapted to your individual needs as you prepare for birth and the postpartum period.
Postpartum Care
The weeks after birth can be just as demanding as pregnancy. Feeding, carrying and caring for a newborn often places new demands on your body. During this time, your nervous system is also adapting to new routines, changes in sleep and the physical and emotional demands of motherhood. Our postpartum care takes a gentle, individualised approach, considering your nervous system and physical presentation as part of the broader clinical picture. Care is tailored to your individual needs, with a focus on comfort and ease as you adjust to life with your new baby.
1. Initial consult
From your very first visit, you’ll experience a level of care that goes beyond the surface. Our team takes time to listen, understand, and explore your story in detail to get to the heart of what’s really going on. Many families share that it’s the first time they have felt truly heard, leaving with a sense of hope, clarity, and confidence about the journey ahead.
2. INSiGHT scans and neurostructural testing
During your initial consultation, we take a closer look at your neuro-spinal and nervous system function using INSiGHT scanning technology. These three gentle, non-invasive scans help us measure patterns associated with nervous system function, providing additional information to consider alongside your health history and clinical assessment. When clinically appropriate, our chiropractors may also recommend spinal X-rays to further assess spinal structure. With digital X-ray facilities available onsite, these images can form part of your overall clinical assessment and help guide an individualised approach to your care.
3. Individualised care plan
We know that every person and every child is unique, which means there’s no one-size-fits-all approach to care. After your Initial Consultation, our team carefully reviews yours/ your childs case history, INSiGHT Scans, functional assessments, and X-rays if required. From there, we create a personalised care plan that outlines the frequency and duration of adjustments tailored to your family’s specific needs.
4. Report of findings
This visit is all about clarity and understanding. We’ll sit down together to review your or your child’s INSiGHT Scans, neurostructural testing, and any other results from your Initial Consultation. Our team will walk you through what we’ve found, how it relates to your goals, and create a clear plan to support the next steps in care. We love this visit because it’s often the moment families begin to feel empowered and hopeful about what’s possible.
5. Neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments
The next step in your health journey. Our gentle, neurologically focused chiropractic adjustments are tailored to you or your child, taking into account individual needs, assessment findings and neuro-spinal function. Our calm and considered approach is designed to help you and your family feel comfortable, supported and confident throughout your care.
