Osteopathy for Babies Children and Teens

It is common for people to ask if Cranial Osteopathy will help their children

Cranial Osteopathy for Children

Louise has over 35 years of experience working with children from her work with children at the Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy formally known as the Osteopathic Centre for Children(OCC), Special needs Pre schools and teaching with the Sutherland Cranial Collage of Osteopathy. Her work with children involves Osteopathic techniques including Cranial Osteopathy and health advice.

Cranial Osteopathy is a refined and subtle type of osteopathic treatment that uses very gentle manipulative pressure to encourage changes throughout the body, including the head. Cranial osteopaths treat the whole body not just the head.
Osteopaths use their highly trained palpatory skills to detect areas of tension or restriction in the body, and to gently release them to restore movement and balance within the musculoskeletal system of the body.

Working with families

The osteopathic management of children of all ages is geared towards prevention. Our aim is to ensure that every aspect of growth is taking place appropriately, helping to resolve issues as they arise to encourage optimum health during their lifetime.

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 with their experience of osteopathic care. This provides parents with 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
