Why take a baby to an osteopath?
Birth, the baby's position in the womb or the first months of life can leave tension in a baby's body. Paediatric osteopathy uses very gentle touch to help release it.
I specialise in paediatric osteopathy and adapt every technique to the child's age and stage.
Common reasons for a visit
- Colic and digestive discomfort in babies
- Torticollis and always turning the head to one side
- Flat head (positional plagiocephaly)
- Difficulty sucking or latching on
- Older children: posture, growing pains and tension
What the session is like
Parents are always present. We start by talking about the pregnancy, the birth and how your baby is doing. Then I carry out a very gentle treatment at your baby's pace: if they cry or need feeding, we stop.
Osteopathy doesn't replace your paediatrician. If I see anything that needs a medical assessment, I'll tell you.

Osteopathy complements, but does not replace, medical diagnosis and treatment.

What should I bring?
Your baby's health record or any reports you have, a spare nappy and something to feed them if needed.
