Duck feet = tucked bum. 3am rocking baby to 6pm dinner prep; stand with feet hip width distance and parallel and let the weight move from heels to balls of feet.

Diastasis Recti: A new perspective
Diastasis Recti is the separation of the rectus abdominus muscle( our 6 pack muscle). Let me first state that this muscle is in fact two distinct muscles separated by a line of connective tissue called the linea alba. So, for all intensive purposes this muscle is technically already separated. The condition Diastasis Recti occurs when the normal separation becomes larger than it should. > 2.7cm or 2 finger widths.

Sciatica: Is it your BUTT or your BACK?
As a chiropractor, this is my jam! We diagnosis and treat this better than anyone else in the biz, blindfolded with 1 hand tied behind our back.

Developmental Milestones
Posture develops within a baby’s first year of life. This means that most babies follow similar motor development patterns in the first year of life. One study suggested 70% of babies developed “normally” while 30% had central coordination disturbances. I hate the word normal and would prefer ideal. This gives us an opportunity to look for key milestones. Remember that there are variations of ideal. Not reaching a milestone in the expected timeframe is not a catastrophic occu

It is unstable because of the anatomic design and the amount of different types of movements it can perform. There are 4 muscles that make up the rotator cuff and I refer to them as, The 4 Horsemen: Supraspinatus Infraspinatus Subscapularis Teres Minor All shoulder injuries are not just the rotator cuff. T

Diastasis Recti: What you need to know

During pregnancy it is normal, however, post-pregnancy if it persists after several months
