Teens and tweens

School, sport, screens and growing bodies ask a lot of teenagers. Our teen series covers sleep, posture, focus, sport and how teens handle stress, including interviews with teens themselves. A teen's first visit takes 30 minutes, with time for them to ask their own questions.

Questions


What parents of teenagers ask before booking: whether it's safe, whether it cracks, sport injuries, how often they'll need to come, and referrals. Anything else? Reception is happy to help.

  • Yes. We adapt every check and adjustment to your teen’s age, size and comfort.

  • It doesn’t have to. We have gentle methods that avoid the cracking noise, and we’ll use whichever suits your teen.

  • We check how your teen’s spine and nervous system are recovering. If the injury came from an accident, ACC can cover part of the cost of care, and we lodge the claim.

  • More often at the start while they build momentum, then less once they reach their goals. We re-check as they go.

  • No. You can book directly.

  • From 16, yes. Younger teens come with a parent or caregiver, who stays for the visit.
