Pregnancy Chiropractic in Mackay

touching pregnants tummyPregnancy brings with it so many emotions—excitement, anticipation, and sometimes, discomfort. As your body works hard to grow and nourish a new life, you may notice aches and pains along the way. At Move It Chiropractic, we’re here to support you through each stage of this special time, helping you feel comfortable, balanced, and well.

Support Before, During, and After Baby Arrives

Many mums-to-be begin care before pregnancy to prepare their bodies for the months ahead. Pre-conception visits help improve balance, spinal alignment, and movement, creating an ideal foundation to support both you and your future baby.

During the first trimester, as hormones shift and your body starts adapting, you may notice pelvic discomfort, nausea, or general tension. In the second and third trimesters, as the baby grows, postural changes and extra strain on your joints can lead to back pain, hip tightness, or difficulty sleeping. Our care is designed to gently and thoughtfully support you through it all.

We also care for mums after their babies are born. The so-called “fourth trimester” is just as demanding, and caring for a newborn often leads to new challenges such as neck, shoulder, or back tension from feeding, lifting, and less sleep. We’re here to help you recover and adapt.

Gentle Techniques, A Thoughtful Touch

Every mum’s needs are different. That’s why we tailor each visit to suit your body, your baby, and your goals. We often use techniques such as the Webster method to help balance the pelvis and ease tension, along with complementary therapies like massage and dry needling where appropriate. We aim to support your comfort, movement, and nervous system function as your body changes.
