osteopathy for babies and children

Cranial osteopathic treatment

Osteopathic treatment using the cranial approach is gentle, safe and effective for babies and children. Very specific, skilled, light pressure is applied to assist the natural ability of the body to release stresses and tensions.

Could there be any adverse reactions?

Reactions to treatment are variable; often the baby or child is very relaxed afterwards and sleeps well, whilst others have a burst of energy, usually followed by a good night's sleep. Occasionally children are unsettled after treatment - this is a temporary situation, and usually clears within 24-48 hours. You can find out more about cranial osteopathy at The Sutherland Society website.

If you have any questions about the treatment of children or would like to know if Stella might be able to help your baby or child, please give her a ring and she will be very happy to discuss your concerns.

NOTE: Children must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.
