Safe and Gentle Pediatric Chiropractic

Posted on by Ashley Liew
“A young tree is easy to straighten, but when it is big it is difficult.” – Filipino Proverb I was especially reminded of this quote in August 2022, when my then 15-weeks-old baby, wife, and I planted a young tree at East Coast Park. It also resonated with me as a Doctor of Chiropractic who regularly checks the spines of the pediatric community, including newborn babies. If this young tree did...

There Is No Process That Does Not Require Time

Posted on by Ashley Liew
Yes, both photographs reveal the same person, transformed gradually from 2006 to 2011. A 24kg weight loss from overweight recreational athlete to national marathoner did not happen overnight but over 4 years. Subsequently, I went on to stay free of training injuries from 2010 until today, involving a process of consistent and regular chiropractic care. There are no “quick fixes”. Chirop...
