Paediatric Osteopathy
Paediatric Osteopathy is a gentle and holistic approach to healthcare that focuses on the musculoskeletal system to promote overall health and well-being in children. Our skilled Paediatric Osteopaths use a hands-on, non-invasive, and drug-free approach to address a wide range of conditions in infants and children.
What is Paediatric Osteopathy?
Paediatric Cranial Osteopathy is a form of gentle and non-invasive Osteopathic treatment used to help relieve the discomfort experienced by your baby. Paediatric Cranial Osteopathy can be particularly beneficial for babies who are unsettled, struggling with sleeping or having issues with constipation, reflux and colic.
Colic in Infants
Osteopathic techniques can help alleviate discomfort and improve digestive function in infants experiencing colic.
Reflux and Digestive Issues
Gentle manipulations may assist in improving digestive function helping to reduce constipation and gas, reducing reflux symptoms, and addressing issues related to feeding difficulties.
Sleeping Difficulties
Osteopathy can contribute to relaxation and balance within the body, potentially helping children with sleeping difficulties by addressing musculoskeletal imbalances.
Gentle and Non-Invasive
Paediatric osteopathy employs gentle and non-invasive techniques suitable for children of all ages. Our practitioners use subtle manipulations to encourage the body's natural healing mechanisms.
Holistic Approach
Unlike traditional medicine, which may focus on symptom relief, paediatric osteopathy considers the whole body. By addressing the root causes of issues, we aim to enhance your child's overall health and well-being. It can also support the child's immune system and help with overall growth, development & repair.
