With our superstar pelvic health physiotherapist, Agnes Budyn When people come to see me for pelvic floor physiotherapy, they're often surprised when I ask about one simple habit: How much water do you drink each day? Many people intentionally drink less because they're worried about urinary urgency or frequent bathroom trips. While this might seem like a good strategy, it can actually make bladder symptoms worse. When you're dehydrated, your urine becomes more concentrated.

with our Postnatal Chiropractor, Dr. Sophie Carrying a baby may feel natural, but doing it repeatedly throughout the day can place a surprising amount of stress on the body. As babies grow, so do the physical demands on parents and caregivers. Many parents notice tension and soreness in the: ● Neck ● Shoulders ● Wrists ● Forearms ● Low back ● Hips One of the biggest culprits is carrying your baby on the same side consistently. This pattern causes you to shift weight onto one

With our fantastic pediatric Chiropractor, Dr. Karishma You may have been told to “just put the baby on the breast”—but quickly realized it’s not always that simple. Maybe the latch is painful. Feeds are taking up your entire day. Your baby seems frustrated, or never quite satisfied. What many parents don’t realize is that feeding is actually a highly coordinated skill between you and your baby—not just something that automatically “clicks.” Feeding is a Full-Body Effort, Not

With lactation and infant feeding specialist, Alicia Cerda What Does a Lactation Consultant Actually Help With? If you had asked me this a few years ago, I would have said: breastfeeding positions and latch. Even as a dietitian who had breastfeeding classes in school, that was my understanding. I thought a lactation consultant was someone you saw if your baby wouldn’t latch, or maybe to learn how to hold your baby at the breast. It wasn’t until I went through my own first bre

With our superstar Chiropractor, Dr. Mallory Scars tell a story - of healing, resilience, and recovery.

At Frame, we offer a gentle and effective approach to scar therapy using the Dolphin Neurostim - a non-invasive tool designed to support healing and restore comfort. Why Do Scars Cause Problems?

with our incredible Naturopath, Dr. Domenique Is your little one always sick? Do they struggle with eczema, allergies or asthma? Do they have trouble focusing or struggle with mental health challenges like anxiety? These common pediatric concerns all have one thing in common – your child’s gut health may need attention. It sounds weird at first. How does my child’s gut health impact all of these conditions? The answer: through the gut microbiome. The gut microbiome is the col

with our favorite Physiotherapist, Agnes Budyn If you’ve been diagnosed with pelvic organ prolapse—or suspect you might have it—you’re not alone. This condition affects many people, especially women after childbirth or during and after menopause. But it can also be common with heavy weight lifting or physically demanding jobs. While the word prolapse can sound a bit scary, the good news is that help is available. One effective and non-invasive treatment option is pelvic floor

With our family chiropractor and resident baby whisperer, Dr. Shaila Callaghan As parents, we often focus on the big milestones — sitting, crawling, walking — but it's the little things that help get us there. One of the simplest yet most impactful activities for your baby's growth and development is tummy time. Whether you’re a new parent or looking for a refresher, understanding the benefits of tummy time can help support your baby's healthy development from day one. What I

with our phenomenal doula and childbirth educator, Vera Thinking back to when I was pregnant with my first baby, there were many things that I did not know that I might have benefited from knowing, or maybe I had heard it but didn’t take the advice. I knew enough to have my health checked out, I started taking a multivitamin, and I booked my partner and I into a childbirth course. I saw my family doctor until a midwife was available to take us on (which didn’t happen until I

with our fabulous Pilates Instructor, Vina In today’s culture, there’s a lot of pressure to “snap back” or “bounce back” into shape after having a baby. Celebrities and influencers can make it look simple with polished workout videos in fully equipped gyms. It’s tempting to sign up to bootcamp or HIIT classes just weeks post-partum. The reality is your body has been through a major event and jumping straight into burpees and crunches might do more harm than good. Why Pilates

with our incredible Lactation Consultant, Paola Vallarino For expecting parents, welcoming a baby is both thrilling and nerve-wracking. Even those preparing for their second or third child can find each new arrival brings fresh joys and challenges, especially if they’ve faced difficulties with feeding in the past.

with our Pelvic and Orthopedic Physiotherapist, Agnes Budyn What is Diastasis Recti? Diastasis Recti Abdominis (aka diastasis) is a separation of the abdominal muscles called the Rectus abdominis or the “six pack muscles”. Diastasis is very common and a normal occurrence during pregnancy as your belly expands and puts pressure on the abdominal muscles to stretch along the midline and allow space for a growing baby. However, diastasis can also occur in people who are not preg

with our favorite Physiotherapist, Agnes Budyn Breastfeeding can be a wonderful way of feeding and connecting with your baby. And while there are a lot of benefits to it, there are also a lot of challenges that women often experience. One common challenge is a clogged milk duct which can happen at any point in a woman's breastfeeding/pumping journey. Blocked ducts can cause discomfort, pain, and even lead to more serious complications, like mastitis, if left untreated. Whil
