Chiropractic Care at Active
At Active, we're here to help you move better, feel better, and live better, whatever that looks like for you.
Chiropractic is a healthcare profession that focuses on diagnosis, treatment and prevention of mechanical disorders of the musculoskeletal system, with special emphasis on the spine. It emphasises manual therapy including spinal manipulation and other joint and soft-tissue manipulation, and includes exercises, and health and lifestyle counselling.
What Do Chiropractors Focus On?
Chiropractors focus on the spine and the neuro-musculoskeletal system, and how conditions affecting these areas can influence your overall health and performance. We are trained to assess the neuro-musculoskeletal system and identify restrictions, imbalances, and dysfunction that may be affecting how you feel and function day to day.
A Gentle, Medicine-Free Approach
Chiropractors do not use medicines or surgery. The gentle techniques and approaches we use at Active are safe and comfortable to receive making chiropractic a natural choice for people looking for a hands-on, drug free approach to their health.
Who Do We See?
Chiropractic care is for everyone. Our patients include:
Newborns, children and young people
Older adults
Pregnant women
Manual workers and office professionals
Joint misalignments can occur for many reasons. Some of the most common causes we see include incorrect lifting, car or sporting accidents, falls, stress, and poor posture, and these can lead to pain, numbness, pins and needles, or restricted mobility.
More Than Just Pain Relief
Chiropractic care isn't only about addressing discomfort. Many of our patients choose to visit us regularly to maintain good posture, promote long-term health, and improve performance whether you're a high-performance athlete or a senior who loves pottering in the garden. Whatever your goal, we're here to support it.
What Does Chiropractic Treatment Involve?
At Active, chiropractic care includes:
Spinal and peripheral joint adjustments and mobilisations
Soft tissue treatment
Personalised advice on exercise, self-help, diet, and lifestyle where appropriate
Every care plan is tailored to you and your goals — because no two patients are the same.

Western Medical Acupuncture
Grant and Penny provide a professional and modern acupuncture service that specialises in the treatment of pain.
Western medical acupuncture is a therapeutic treatment involving the insertion of fine needles into the skin and underlying tissues in key ‘points’ for therapeutic or preventative purposes. It is an adaptation of Chinese acupuncture using current knowledge of anatomy, physiology and pathology, and the principles of evidence based medicine.
Our acupuncture care varies from regular visits to assist with migraines and headaches to just one or two treatments alongside chiropractic care for knee or muscle pain.
Gentle release of tension in newborns
Chiropractic for newborns
More and more new parents are discovering the benefits of newborn chiropractic care — often through recommendations from friends and family, midwives, and lactation consultants. If you've been wondering whether chiropractic is right for your baby, you're not alone.
Why Chiropractic Care Matters from Day One
Chiropractic care is centred on the relationship between the nervous system and the musculoskeletal system. Your nervous system controls and co-ordinates every function in your body, and that's just as true for newborns as it is for adults.
Supporting healthy nervous system function from the very beginning of life is something many parents are now choosing to prioritise.
Is Chiropractic Safe for Newborns?
Yes. Chiropractic for babies is extremely gentle. The techniques used with newborns involve only the lightest touch — similar to the pressure you'd comfortably apply to your own eyeball. There are no forceful adjustments; just soft, precise contact suited to your baby's delicate structure.
Trusted by Parents, Recommended by Professionals
Word of mouth is how most parents first hear about infant chiropractic care. Midwives, lactation consultants, and health visitors increasingly recommend chiropractic as part of a holistic approach to newborn wellbeing.
Book Your Newborn's First Appointment
We welcome newborns from birth. If you'd like to find out whether chiropractic care could support your baby, we'd love to hear from you. Book online for a consultation, or email to arrange a chat, we're happy to answer any questions you have.
Pregnancy Chiropractic Care Supporting You Through Every Trimester
Choosing a chiropractor to work with throughout your pregnancy could be one of the best investments you make in your prenatal health. If you're looking for safe, professional, and personalised care during pregnancy, you're in the right place.
Is Chiropractic Safe During Pregnancy?
Absolutely. One of the most reassuring things about chiropractic care is that it is just as safe during pregnancy as it is before and after. When you're carrying a precious new life, it's completely natural to want to know you're in the very best hands.
Chiropractors are regulated health professionals. A chiropractor experienced in caring for pregnant women will assess your spine and pelvis and create a care plan tailored specifically to you, one that evolves with your body through each trimester.
Proactive Care for a More Comfortable Pregnancy
Too often, women are told to simply wait and that they'll feel better once their baby arrives. We don't believe that should be the case.
We work with women to help them live life fully at every stage, including pregnancy. When combined with gentle exercises and personalised lifestyle guidance, chiropractic care is a proactive and empowering way to look after your body and feel your best throughout your pregnancy journey.
Tailored to You, Every Step of the Way
No two pregnancies are the same. That's why Penny takes the time to understand where you are in your pregnancy, how your body is changing, and what you need most right now. Your care plan is built around you and it adapts as you grow.
Experienced, Regulated, and Ready to Support You
Penny is an experienced pregnancy chiropractor who is passionate about supporting women through one of the most significant chapters of their lives. As a regulated health professional, you can feel confident that your care is safe, evidence-informed, and always tailored to your individual needs.
Not Sure if Chiropractic is Right for You?
That's completely understandable, and I’d love to help answer any questions you have. Get in touch with me for a no-pressure chat about how chiropractic care could support you during your pregnancy.
