Babies & Children Osteopathy
Gentle, Safe & Natural Care for Growing Bodies

We provide gentle, non-manipulative osteopathic care for babies, infants, children, and teenagers. Our approach is safe, drug-free, and surgery-free, supporting your child’s natural ability to grow, adapt, and heal.

Osteopathy for babies and children uses very light, hands-on techniques to release tension, improve mobility, and restore balance in the body — helping children feel more comfortable and develop optimally at every stage of growth.

How Osteopathy Helps Babies & Children

Baby-osteopathy.jpg

From birth through adolescence, a child’s body undergoes rapid physical changes. Factors such as:

  • Birth strain (including assisted or prolonged deliveries)

  • Early feeding and postural habits

  • Falls, bumps, and playground injuries

  • Rapid growth spurts

  • School posture and screen time

can place stress on the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and nervous system. Over time, these stresses may affect comfort, movement, and development.

Paediatric osteopathy works by gently identifying and releasing these areas of tension, allowing the body to rebalance itself naturally and support healthy growth.

Conditions We Commonly Help With

Osteopathy may help reduce symptoms and improve comfort in a wide range of childhood conditions, including:
Babies & Infants

  • Flat Head Syndrome (Plagiocephaly)

  • Breastfeeding & latching difficulties

  • Torticollis (Wry Neck)

  • Clicky hips / Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH)

  • Excessive crying or unsettled behaviour

Children & Teenagers

  • Headaches

  • Growing pains (knee, leg, or heel pain)

  • Poor posture

  • Neck, shoulder, and back pain

  • Scoliosis

  • Sports and playground injuries

  • Postural strain from school bags or screen use

Neurological & Developmental Support

  • Cerebral palsy (supportive care)

  • Seizures (supportive care alongside medical management)

 
Osteopathy does not replace medical care but works safely alongside paediatricians, lactation consultants, and other healthcare professionals.

Supporting Healthy Growth & Development

Osteopathic treatment supports:

  • Better movement and coordination

  • Improved posture and body awareness

  • Reduced physical strain during growth phases

  • Enhanced comfort and relaxation

  • Overall physical balance during development

By addressing minor stresses early, osteopathy may help prevent them from becoming long-term issues later in life.
