Children’s Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy

This is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle pressure to release stresses throughout the body including the head. It is particularly suitable for patients who prefer a very gentle treatment including babies, children, pregnant ladies and the elderly.

Babies and children

A baby goes through tremendously compressive forces during its journey down the uterine canal. The newborn skull can be pushed out of alignment and the baby may develop problems as a result.

Bouts of prolonged crying can be linked to irritation of the nerve to the stomach, as it exits from the base of the skull. The diaphragm may also be distorted during the birth process.

This may compromise digestion and make the baby irritable.
