Take Care of Yourself": A Life Lesson from a 7-Year-Old

Why Gonstead Chiropractic is Helping Children Thrive in East Fremantle

At InSync Chiropractic & Healthcare, we’re constantly reminded that healing isn’t just about adjustments—it’s about connection, awareness, and wisdom. And sometimes, that wisdom comes from the most unexpected place... like a 7-year-old boy in a t-shirt.

One of our little patients—a 7-year-old with a smile as big as his heart—came in for his regular Gonstead chiropractic adjustment wearing a t-shirt that made us stop in our tracks. On the back, it simply read: “Take care of yourself.”

That was it. So simple, and yet, it hit right to the core of everything we do. 

We couldn’t have said it better ourselves

These words, printed on the back of a shirt, carried a message we so deeply believe in at InSync Chiropractic & Healthcare. They’re a gentle reminder that self-care isn’t selfish—it’s essential. 

Whether you're 7 or 77, tuning into your body, giving it love, movement, and attention, is one of the greatest acts of respect you can give to yourself. It was one of those small, perfect moments that capture what our work is truly about—empowering people from a young age to understand their body and value their wellbeing.

Why Chiropractic Care Matters for Kids

Children today face a unique set of physical and emotional stressors. From heavy backpacks and slouched postures to screen time, emotional pressure, and growing pains, their little bodies carry more than we might think.

That’s where Gonstead chiropractic for children can make a powerful difference.

At our Chiropractic clinic in Fremantle, we use the Gonstead method—a highly specific, safe, and gentle chiropractic technique—to assess and correct misalignments in the spine. It’s particularly well-suited for children due to its precision and focus on nervous system function.

Chiropractic care can support kids by:

• Improving posture and spinal alignment

• Support healthy growth and development

• Enhance nervous system function

• Reduce discomfort from school backpacks, tech use, and activity

• Reducing tension from physical activity or tech-related strain

• Addressing biomechanical changes as they grow

More than that, chiropractic care empowers children. They start to learn about their bodies, build body awareness, and connect with what it means to feel “In Sync.”

A Message We Can All Take On Board

That t-shirt—“Take care of yourself”—wasn’t just a cute outfit. It was a message from the next generation to all of us. Life gets busy. Schedules get packed. And self-care often gets pushed to the side.

But if a 7-year-old can wear those words proudly, maybe we can all take a page out of his book.

Whether you’re a parent seeking natural support for your child’s development, or someone looking to reconnect with your own body, we’re here to help—because your health matters at every age.
