We provide osteopathic assessment and care for babies, children, and adolescents, focusing on musculoskeletal development, including posture, mobility, and movement patterns.
Osteopathic techniques may assist with childhood and infant musculoskeletal concerns, such as:
Infant issues, including feeding difficulties, colic, and postural imbalances
Discomfort associated with growing pains
Discomfort associated with previous injuries, including sprains
Musculoskeletal factors that may influence posture and breathing mechanics, by addressing tension and movement restrictions in the neck, jaw, rib cage, and diaphragm
We also observe, screen, and monitor posture and spinal development from birth, identifying signs that may warrant further investigation or referral.
Care is gentle, age-appropriate, and tailored to each child or infant, focusing on reducing musculoskeletal tension and promoting a calm, comfortable experience.
Osteopathic care before pregnancy focuses on assessing posture, movement, and musculoskeletal alignment. Treatment aims to support optimal function and address any areas of restriction or imbalance in preparation for pregnancy.

Our treatment begins with a conversation. Together, we’ll explore your symptoms and identify any lifestyle factors contributing to your pain, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of your condition.
A meticulous, hands-on, movement-based examination paves the way. We’ll demystify your condition and collaboratively craft a treatment and management plan, ensuring it resonates with you and your needs.
Using a range of techniques – soft tissue massage, myofascial release, joint manipulation and mobilisation, dry needling, and more – we help guide your body back to where it feels good and works well.
