Babies & Children

Newborns and infants.
It is easy to bond with a baby who is happy all the time.  However, what happens if your baby cries all the time, has feeding problems or resists being held and comforted?  Babies who are healthy often sleep better and this helps everyone in the household.  Being born is one of the most stressful events we humans experience. Osteopathy treatments help the physical strains that result from birth.  The treatments benefit the following:

• Crying, irritability, difficulty settling, colic, sleep disturbances
• Breastfeeding challenges ( difficulty latching, preference for feeding on one side)
• Digestive issues (spitting-up, gas, constipation)
• Obvious asymmetries in head shape

Toddlers and young children.
For toddlers and older children treatment can also help with:

• Asthma
• Recurring ear and sinus infection
• Behavioural and learning difficulties (ADHD, Asperger’s syndrome, Austism)
• Growing pains and injuries

Osteopathic treatments also benefit children after significant falls, sport injuries and help release strains in the tissue and prevent compensatory postural adaptations.
