Gentle, hands-on care for infants, kids and teens, from the first weeks to the teenage years.
What is it ?

Helping Kids Grow Strong and Move Comfortably

Children’s bodies change quickly, from the first weeks of life to the growth spurts of the teenage years. Paediatric osteopathy uses gentle, hands-on techniques adapted to each age, to help your child feel comfortable, move freely and stay active. For babies, our osteopaths use very light touch to ease tension, often after a long or assisted birth. For children and teens, treatment focuses on posture, growing bodies, sport and the strain of school bags and screens.
Benefits of Paediatric Osteopathy
  • Healthy Growth and Mobility: supports comfortable movement, balance and posture as your child grows.
  • Comfort for Little Tummies: gentle techniques may help babies with tummy discomfort and unsettled feeding feel more at ease.
  • More Restful Sleep: many parents tell us their child seems calmer and more relaxed after a session.
  • Calm and Relaxed: a gentle, unhurried approach helps children feel safe, so they can relax into treatment.
  • Safe for All Ages: very gentle techniques, from newborns to teenagers, with no cracking or forceful manipulation.

How Paediatric Osteopathy Can Help

Every child is different, so treatment is always adapted to their age, size and comfort. Here are some of the reasons parents bring their children to see us.
Newborns & Babies:Unsettled babies, long spells of crying, a favourite side or head tilt, a flatter spot on the head, and tension after birth.
Toddlers:Support for comfortable movement and posture as your little one starts to crawl, walk and explore.
Children:Growing pains, posture, back and neck aches, headaches, and knocks and strains from play and sport.
Teenagers:Back and neck pain from screens and heavy school bags, sports injuries, and postural concerns during growth spurts.
Sport & Activity:Helping active children and teens recover from strains and get back to their sport safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Bringing your child to an osteopath for the first time? Here are the questions parents ask us most often. If yours isn’t here, message us on WhatsApp and we’ll be happy to help.

What happens during my child’s appointment?
Your osteopath starts by chatting with you about your child’s health, birth, development and any concerns. They then gently assess how your child moves, and explain what they find in simple terms. If osteopathy is right for your child, treatment can usually begin in the same visit, using gentle, hands-on techniques adapted to their age.

From what age can my child see an osteopath?
From birth. We see newborns, babies, toddlers, children and teenagers, and every treatment is adapted to your child’s age, size and comfort.

Can osteopathy help my baby with colic or a head tilt?

Many parents come to us when their baby is unsettled, cries for long spells or always prefers looking one way. Our osteopaths gently assess what might be making your baby uncomfortable and explain the next steps. Find out more about our care for baby colic and torticollis.

Is osteopathy safe for children?
Yes. Our paediatric osteopaths are trained to work with babies and children, and the techniques are very gentle, with no cracking or forceful manipulation. We always explain what we’re doing and go at your child’s pace.

Do I stay with my child during the session?
Yes. A parent or guardian stays with their child throughout. You’re welcome to help keep them comfortable, with a feed, a favourite toy or a cuddle.

What should my child wear?
Something comfortable and easy to move in, such as leggings or shorts and a T-shirt. Babies can stay in a vest or babygrow.

Do I need a referral?
No, you can book directly with our osteopaths. If your child has any recent reports or scans, please bring them along.

How many sessions will my child need?
Every child is different. Your osteopath will discuss a plan with you at the first visit and review progress together as you go.

My teenager has back pain or a sports injury. Can you help?

Yes. Teens often come to us with back and neck pain from growth spurts, screens and heavy school bags, or with injuries from sport. Find out more about our back pain treatment, or how sports massage can support recovery.

Is paediatric osteopathy covered by insurance?
Many health insurance plans cover osteopathy for children. Check your policy, and our team can provide receipts for your claim.
