osteopathy for young children

Pregnancy

Osteopathy can really help with the aches and pains that arise during pregnancy, especially during the final trimester as your body prepares itself for birth.

Back pain, pelvic girdle pain, and breathing difficulties are just some of the conditions we can help you with.

Babies and children 

No two babies are the same, but they will usually let you know if something isn’t right by crying. They can have colicky pain, reflux or disturbed bowel movements, and sometimes they will have tightness in the neck and spine related to their birth.

Often these problems will settle down on their own, but by using gentle techniques such as massage or cranial techniques, we can help relieve tensions and help baby’s digestion, feeding and comfort.

We will treat children of all ages, though a parent must be present until the age of 16. Childhood can be filled with lots of aches and pains – from falls to headaches and growing pains. Osteopathy can help!

admin2023-01-22T10:34:33+00:00
