paediatric & cranial osteopathy

This is a specialist type of osteopathy that uses gentle techniques specifically for treating babies and children. Our paediatric osteopaths look beyond conditions and take a holistic approach to a patient, using manual techniques to restore, maintain and support health and wellbeing. No single osteopathic technique is used when treating the paediatric patient – all relevant modalities that are gentle enough for babies and children are considered.

Our paediatric osteopaths can also help as your child grows and moves through their stages of development. Their bodies undergo many rapid changes and whilst most adapt, sometimes problems relating to growth spurts, hormonal imbalance, stresses and strains don’t resolve naturally, so a qualified osteopath can help with some of the problems associated with these conditions.

Paediatric osteopaths are specially trained and highly skilled, having undergone additional post-graduate training.
