Osteopathy for babies

Few births are truly easy, so many parents are keen to ensure their new baby is doing well in the early weeks and months of life. Babies have many changes to deal with in terms of settling into life outside the womb, and osteopathy can often help. I love treating babies and it is a privilege to help new families get off to a good start.

The range of presentations that parents bring their babies for is very diverse. Lactation consultants, breastfeeding counsellors, midwives and health visitors may suggest osteopathy if they think it might help.

If you are not sure if osteopathy is suitable for your baby you are very welcome to book in for a free 15 minute conversation with me to discuss this.

Cranial osteopathy is very safe, gentle and non manipulative. I will give a gentle but thorough review of your baby’s well-being. I aim to help your baby's body make its own changes in response to treatment.

Please note that babies may sometimes be a little unsettled for up to 24 hours after treatment.

A typical treatment plan is 2-4 appointments.
