Osteopathy for babies and children

Birth is one of the most stressful events of our life. The baby's head has the remarkable ability to absorb these stresses in a 'normal' delivery. Some babies retain moulding from birth in their head and areas of stress and strain throughout their body. This may lead to:

crying irritable baby
feeding difficulties
sickness, colic and wind
sleep disturbances

In toddlers and older children retained moulding can lead to other problems like:

recurrent infections of the ears, chest, throat and colds
Headaches
Asthma
Behavioural problems and learning difficulties
Sinus and dental problems

Cranial Osteopathy can help to relieve these problems and, in doing so, improve the child's development and quality of life.
