Osteopathy for babies

Our registered osteopaths have training and experience in paediatric osteopathy. We welcome babies, children and young people, using gentle techniques adapted to each child's age and individual needs.

Appointments are calm and unhurried. We take time to listen to your concerns, review relevant history and assess posture, movement and musculoskeletal function. We explain our findings clearly and may offer gentle hands-on care, practical advice or exercises where appropriate.

We adapt each appointment to your baby or child, including treating while they feed, or working around energetic toddlers who want to do anything but lie still!

Families may contact us with questions about their baby or child's comfort, feeding, sleep, positioning, movement or development. We will listen carefully, advise whether an osteopathic appointment is appropriate and, where needed, recommend support from a GP, health visitor, midwife, paediatrician, lactation consultant or another suitable professional.

Osteopathy for children

As children grow and physically develop some children need a little helping hand to adapt to the changes. Physical stresses and strains come with growing up but also falls, bumps and knocks can have an underlying effect.

We see children and young people with aches and pains, including back and neck pain, minor sports injuries and headaches arising from the neck.

Treatment is gentle and adapted to your child's age, and we'll explain what we find and what we suggest.
