LiveWell Kids
Parents
3 magic minutes to better health!
LiveWell kids is a special initiative, inspired
by Straighten Up America. Here you’ll find a simple
set of spinal health exercises for your child and advice
from your chiropractor.
We know that children have bundles of energy and can get
bored doing what 'Mum says’. That’s why these
spinal health exercises only take a few minutes. Kids can
do them when they brush their teeth in the morning and at
night time.
Children throughout the world are regularly doing these
simple exercises, following our advice and preventing back
problems in later life.
The exercises are designed for healthy children. Check
with your chiropractor before starting this program to make
sure the exercises are appropriate for your child’s
specific needs. To contact your local United
Chiropractic Association approved Chiropractor please

Schools
LiveWell approved specialist practitioners are available
to provide a community service, free of charge to your school.
The exercises can be demonstrated in a morning assembly
or specially convened class.
In countries like Australia it is normal practice for school
children to have spinal health checks, just like having
hearing and eye tests. Spinal health checks can be arranged
for your school with an approved and registered chiropractor.
A spinal health check involves two main aspects;
1. Balance and posture check
2. School bag weight check
The chiropractor can provide information for each child
with advice for parents. Many of the chiropractors within
the United
Chiropractic Association have studied specialist courses
in paediatrics.
The United
Chiropractic Association also provides classroom posters
to accompany the healthy child exercise brochure. These
can be viewed and downloaded here.
