Top Tips After Treatment - Adults
-
Mild soreness is normal. You may feel slightly achy for 24–72 hours after treatment, similar to post-exercise soreness.
-
Keep gently moving. Light movement such as walking is usually helpful. Avoid long periods of sitting or staying in one position.
-
Avoid heavy activity for 24 hours. Give your body time to adjust to treatment.
-
Use ice or heat if advised. Follow the guidance given by Ashling regarding which is most appropriate for your condition.
-
Drink water. Staying hydrated helps tissues recover after treatment.
-
Do your exercises. The exercises or stretches prescribed are an important part of your recovery.
-
Listen to your body. If something feels uncomfortable, ease back and allow yourself time to recover.
-
Contact the clinic if concerned. If symptoms worsen significantly or do not settle after a few days, please get in touch.

Post Treatment - Babies
It may not appear that much has been done in terms of hands on treatment, but a lot will have changed for your baby! After treatment most babies are exhausted! Coming to see me is like a HIIT work out for them. I suggest you allow them to sleep as much as they need to.
Common feedback is that babies pooh much more after the treatment - especially if they've been constipated. Unless there is mucus or blood in the pooh, this is considered normal.
