BABIES

If your baby’s labour was interrupted, prolonged or required the assistance of forceps or suction you should consider seeking the advice of a Cranial Osteopath.

We frequently see the following symptoms when there is discomfort through your baby’s head, neck, or body or if there is an irritation of the nerves that allow us to digest our food and suck properly:

POOR SETTLING

SLEEPLESSNESS

UNSETTLED BEHAVIOUR

POOR LATCHING

EXCESSIVE CRYING

IRRITABLILITY.

Cranial Osteopaths use very gentle specialist hands-on techniques to relieve strains from the birth. This is a safe and comfortable process that can improve the comfort and quality of life for your baby.

 

OLDER CHILDREN

By improving the mobility of the rib cage and helping the free drainage of the head and neck Osteopathy can be of great benefit in helping children with:

ASTHMA

RECURRENT EPISODES OF ILLNESS

EAR INFECTIONS

SINUS

UPPER RESPIRATORY AND CHEST INFECTIONS.

The nervous system governs the healthy function of  our digestion, emotions and hormones. When the bony and muscular framework is in balance the nervous system works well.  Our patients tell us that their children have experienced positive benefits in relation to the following after their treatments with us:

MOOD

CONCENTRATION AT SCHOOL

DIGESTION

SLEEP
