Term 2 is here, and if you're a parent, you're probably juggling the school drop-offs, lunchboxes, after-school activities, work deadlines—and trying to keep yourself afloat somewhere in the chaos.
The truth is, this time of year can pile on physical and emotional stress faster than your kids go through snacks. And often, it’s your body that pays the price—tight shoulders, headaches, back pain, poor sleep, and general fatigue. But it doesn’t have to stay that way. At Charlton Chiropractic Redbank, we work with parents just like you to not only manage stress, but to feel physically better and more resilient—so you can show up for your family without burning out. Here are 3 simple strategies that help our patients feel better, function better, and stress less this term: 1. Reclaim Your Morning with Movement Even 10 minutes of stretching, walking, or foam rolling in the morning can reset your body and nervous system, helping you handle the day with more energy and less pain. 2. Breathe Like You Mean It When the stress rises, try this: Inhale for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Do this for 2 minutes while sitting tall—your body will shift from fight-or-flight to calm and focused. 3. Prioritise Your Spine When your posture is off, it feeds tension into your system. Chiropractic adjustments help restore balance to your spine and nervous system, reducing physical stress and giving your brain the chance to function at its best. This term, don’t just survive—thrive. If you’ve been feeling run down, sore, or just not quite yourself, let’s work together to help you feel good again.
