As the twig is bent, so will the tree grow

At the clinic we know that both osteopathy and physiotherapy treatments are effective for babies, toddlers, tweens and teenagers.

Treating a baby particularly after a difficult birth can re-balance the system and early treatment gives better outcomes.

As a child grows we can help with common childhood illnesses such as asthma, recurring infections, fretfulness, growing aches and pains and other ailments.

As tweens turn to teenagers, we can help athletic teenagers with heavy training and competitive regimes that may cause structural and postural issues.

The clinic’s treatments are also effective for children with physical disabilities.

Compression of the head, back, diaphragm and chest, while a baby is in the womb can lead to babies and children experiencing neck ache, growing pains, and possibly even local circulatory problems or digestive disorders.

The clinic’s pediatric treatments contribute to significant improvements in:

  • Teething
  • Plagiocephaly
  • Neck strain or torticollis
  • Wind
  • Colic
  • Glue ear
  • Feeding difficulties
  • Reflux and vomiting
  • Unsettled and fractious
  • Poor sleep patterns
  • Delayed milestones

As your child grows and particularly when it first starts at a crèche or school, we know that they often just pick up things that just won’t shift. And they may develop other illnesses such as asthma, recurring stomach upsets, or just general unsettlement.

The practice can help with:

  • Recurring infections
  • General unwellness
  • Chest infections and asthma
  • Ear infections
  • Low immunity
  • Sinus and dental problems
  • Digestive difficulties
  • Emotional stress
  • Anxiety
  • Sensitivity
  • Recovery from critical illness

As children progress from toddlers to their tween and teenage years they often demonstrate many common structural and developmental changes.

At the clinic, we know we can support many children through this difficult and emotional time. We can help with:

  • Growing pains
  • Gait issues from growth spurts
  • Anxiety & stress
  • Digestive issues
  • Postural issues

We also regularly see children with long term problems; we help these children to be as well as possible and function to their fullest ability with whatever health issues they have.

We know we can manage symptoms and issues in children with:

  • Autism and Asperger’s syndrome
  • Dyslexia and Dyspraxia
  • ADHD
