Babies & Children
Osteopathy offers gentle and non-invasive treatment options for babies and children to address a wide range of health issues, both acute and chronic. From common concerns such as colic, reflux, and feeding difficulties to musculoskeletal problems like torticollis, flat head syndrome, and growing pains, osteopathic care aims to support optimal growth and development in infants and young children.
During infancy, the musculoskeletal system is still developing, and issues such as birth trauma, intrauterine constraints, or positioning in utero can impact a baby’s comfort and well-being. Osteopathic treatment for babies focuses on gentle manual techniques to address any structural imbalances or restrictions, promote normal movement patterns, and support healthy development.
In older children, osteopathy can address a variety of musculoskeletal complaints, including sports injuries, postural issues, and growing pains. By identifying and addressing underlying issues contributing to pain or dysfunction, osteopathic treatment aims to improve comfort, mobility, and overall health in children of all ages.
Through individualised care and gentle techniques, osteopathy provides a safe and effective approach to supporting the health and well-being of babies and children, helping them thrive during these formative years.
