Keeping your child healthy
Every parent’s priority is to provide the best environment to support their child’s health as they develop and grow.
Osteopathic practice is safe and effective. Research has shown that people trust their osteopath and are extremely satisfied by their experience of osteopathic care.
This provides parents confidence in the level of care their children can expect to receive.
Children’s requirements differ depending on the stage of their development.
As they grow from infants, toddlers, children to teenagers, your osteopath will consider your child’s individual needs, age and stage of development, and adapt their advice and treatment accordingly.

HELPING YOU KEEP MOBILE AND STAYING ACTIVE
Ageing does not necessarily mean that we will experience discomfort, pain or stiffness. If you do notice changes which are impacting your physical abilities, many people often find that the care and advice from an osteopath can help you manage these allowing you to enjoy the pleasures of life into your later years.
Many people also find it helpful to talk to an osteopath about ways of keeping active, preventing common problems such as falls, or managing conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatic pain and osteoporosis.
ADVICE AS YOU GET OLDER
Although aches and pains may be a common element of ageing, they don’t have to get in the way of any lifestyle. Here are some tips to keep you healthy and active.
150 minutes of exercise per week, in blocks of ten minutes or more (enough to make you warmer and breathe harder, while still being able to have a conversation) can help reduce the risk of circulation problems and falls. This might include activities such as dancing or brisk walking. It can also help to improve your mood and levels of confidence
Make sure you eat a healthy, varied diet
Doing some form of balance exercises twice a week (for example, Tai Chi, yoga or body balance) is also recommended to help reduce the risk of falling, particularly if you are over-65
Try to also include exercises that strengthen your arms, legs and body
The use of trainers or similar footwear can help absorb shocks and take the pressure off knees, hips and spine when walking for longer periods.

Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial Osteopathy is suitable for all ages including Babies, Children and the Elderly.
Cranial Osteopathy
Cranial osteopathy is name given to a subtle and refined approach to osteopathy that follows all the principles of osteopathy, but that includes the anatomy and physiology of the head.
Cranial osteopaths use a highly trained sense of touch to feel subtle changes of tension and tissue quality in the living anatomy of the whole body, and to diagnose areas of strain or dysfunction.
The osteopath is often drawn to areas in the body that have been affected by past events, such as old accidents and injuries. The body may have learned to compensate for a traumatic event or injury and the patient may be unaware that there is anything wrong, but the effects may still be present and relevant to current symptoms.
The osteopath works to activate the innate ability of the body to heal itself, and by offering gentle and specific support where it is needed to bring the tissues into a state of balance and release, to restore it to health.
This helps the osteopath to understand and treat the cause of the symptoms, to reduce the chance of symptoms returning in the future.
The body has an amazing ability to heal itself and maintain its own physiology in a state of health and uses the re-balancing during osteopathic treatment to re-establish healthy physiology.
In any osteopathic treatment, the whole body is involved and improvements are often noted in different areas and different systems rather than in just the symptomatic one.
Most people become deeply relaxed during treatment.
