PREGNANCY, POSTNATAL & PAEDIATRIC CARE

Pregnancy, early parenthood and childhood are times of significant physical and emotional change. At Banks & Dade, we offer gentle, considered care to support women, babies and children through these important life stages.

Established in 2010, our clinic has supported families across the Forster–Tuncurry community for many years. Our approach is calm, respectful and tailored to each individual, with a strong focus on comfort, reassurance and clear communication.

Supporting the body through change

Pregnancy and the postnatal period place new demands on the body as it adapts to physical, hormonal and lifestyle changes. Chiropractic care at Banks & Dade offers hands-on support throughout all stages of pregnancy — from preconception and the three trimesters, through to labour preparation and postnatal recovery.

Care is delivered gently and thoughtfully, with techniques adapted to suit each stage of pregnancy and individual comfort.

We also recognise that emotional and physical stress can play a role during pregnancy and early parenthood. For this reason, kinesiology may be incorporated as part of a broader, wholistic approach to maternal wellbeing.

Who Pregnancy, postnatal and paediatric support may be suited to

This care may be suited to:

Pregnancy & postnatal care

  • Women seeking physical support during pregnancy

  • Support during postnatal recovery and adjustment

  • Those looking for a gentle, hands-on approach to wellbeing during significant life changes

Paediatric care

  • Babies and children requiring gentle chiropractic support

  • Families seeking a calm, child-friendly care environment

All care is guided by individual needs, comfort and preferences, with techniques adapted appropriately for each stage of life.

What to expect in the first appointment

Your initial appointment allows time to discuss health history, current concerns and goals in a relaxed and supportive setting. For pregnancy and postnatal care, this includes consideration of where you are in your journey and how your body is adapting.

For babies and children, appointments are gentle and unhurried, with parents or carers involved throughout. Techniques are explained clearly, and comfort is prioritised at all times.

Follow-up care is guided by how the body responds and adjusted as needed over time.
