Osteopathy is safe for babies right from birth. It is a wonderful non-invasive tool to improve symptoms your little one might be experiencing. We often see babies for the following issues:

  • Latching/feeding difficulties

  • Tongue tie related concerns

  • Gas and reflux

  • Constipation

  • Head rotation preference/flat spots

  • Congestion

Treatment for infants consists of your practitioner gently assessing your little one’s joints and soft tissues to identify any areas that aren’t moving quite as easily as they should, and addressing these areas to improve mobility and function. The pressure used is that of testing a ripe tomato. We always follow baby’s cues and ease off when they signal discomfort, and there’s always space for a snuggle with mom or dad, and treatment can be done while baby is feeding or in a parent’s arms. You as the parent are welcome to ask questions at any time, you are an important factor in your child’s improvement and we will work with you to develop a plan to meet the goals we’d like to meet with your child.
