How is treatment for children and infants approached?

We will choose to treat your child with manual techniques that are relevant and safe for the child’s presentation and age.
We may also give exercise, ergonomic, and nutritional advice to support the child’s complaint and strengthen their condition.

After an initial medical history and structural examination to help determine the cause of the problem, your treatment may include:

Osteopathic techniques such as soft tissue massage, stretching, ligament and fascial release, muscle energy techniques, joint manipulation and mobilisation, craniosacral and visceral techniques
Advice on posture, ergonomics and nutrition
Stretching and specific rehabilitation exercises
