For babies

Osteopathy can be of great help to babies when being unduly slow or fast has complicated birth, or when a need for a forceps delivery has arisen.
The infant may not fully recover from this distortion. Osteopathy can also be a great reliever for colic in babies.

For children

Earlier traumas, knocks on the head or falls may result in problems, as the child grows older. It is widely considered that mechanical stresses on the body can be an important factor in the cases of developmental delay, such as, delayed speech, educational difficulties, problems with co-ordination & physical development.

Teenagers

As children grow their bodies undergo huge postural demands. Osteopathic treatment can help the body’s framework adjust to these changes. Teenagers take a much more active part in many more sporting and recreational activities, thus carrying greater risks of sprains and strains. They also become particularly susceptible to growing pains.

The Osteopath is able to give advise of effective treatment and exercises, along with other forms of self-help to reduce and prevent these complaints. By analyzing, treating and managing problems associated with growth, Osteopaths make a major contribution to ensuring that young people become and stay fit and healthy.
