This is my second review of Dr. Ariel's practice. The first was concerned with her help during the last few weeks of my pregnancy. I believe she contributed to the ease of my labour and birth and I continued seeing her after we welcomed our little one. I have to admit that the first month after the baby was actually tougher than I expected (tougher than the birth itself!). The lack of sleep, the baby and us getting used to each other, the little one's need to be constantly held- and all of these when the body is trying to recover from the birthing experience (however "easy" and wonderful this experience might have been). I have had pain I never knew before the baby- my back and neck, especially, after hours of breastfeeding and baby-carrying, gave me enormous pain. The first change I realized after starting to see Dr. Ariel this second time around was the ease of these pains. Every week has been better since then. Not only has she eased the already existing pain, but she has also given me incredibly easy-to-do exercises/moves to prevent further pain. Currently, I have no neck pain whatsoever, the back pain is almost gone, even though the baby is considerably heavier by now! I have developed pain on my heels and knees, unfortunately, and I am looking forward to bombarding Dr. Ariel with questions about those spots. Dr. Ariel also worked intensively on re-aligning the pelvis. This is crucial because of the birthing experience itself, but the postpartum period has effects on the pelvis, too. As a new parent, my focus has been on the baby. I have not paid much attention to my posture, to how often and for how long I stand up, bouncing the little one and so on. Dr. Ariel has shown my body the care I have not been able to show. In a couple of days, I am taking my baby to Dr. Ariel for infant alignment. After all, babies have gone through a traumatic experience, too-being born cannot be easy:) What is more, I have been reading about how a simple, painless adjustment can help babies with issues like reflux, and with developmental milestones. This re-alignment usually helps with sleep, which is great for both the babies and the parents! I cannot think of a better place to trust my baby to. I look forward to writing another review focusing on Dr. Ariel's help with infant-care.
Dr. Ariel has magic hands! They will take away the pain and make your body feel better. I have chronic back and hip pain that comes and goes, but since I started seeing Ariel, I have been pain-free and able to do the exercise and activities I enjoy without issue. Since my second pregnancy and birth, my body has never felt as stable, but thanks to Ariel, I have a way to keep myself in balance. Now whenever I feel my body start to go out of alignment or have the first hint of a back ache, I head to Flow chiropractic for a little self-care. Her adjustments are gentle and relaxing (I almost fell asleep last time) and the relief is usually immediate. I have seen a number of chiropractors over the years. I’m always cautious about who I go to because I’ve had bad adjustments in the past. I trust Ariel completely and in her hands I know I can let go and receive a healing adjustment. I couldn’t recommend her more highly.
