Paediatric osteopathy covers infants to teenagers and spans diverse conditions.
Osteopathic treatment aims to make mothers and babies more comfortable after birth. Parents tend to bring their babies to Ruth for a variety of reasons including:
Post-natal checkups
Latching and bottle feeding difficulties
Digestive complaints
Tongue-tie assessments and diagnosis
Favouring turning their head one way
Irregular head shapes (plagiocephaly)
Sleeping disorders
Baby reflux
Baby colic
Respiratory issues
All these conditions can be influenced by the birth process.
Beyond birth, osteopathy also has a role to play. Osteopathy can help with teething discomfort, gastrointestinal upsets such as constipation and a broad range of presentations from ADHD to sports injuries and back pain in the older child. Parents often bring their children to osteopaths for postural assessments.
Osteopathy can help mothers at all stages of pregnancy. Osteopathy can help with pain caused by the postural changes of pregnancy such as lower back pain, symphysis pubis dysfunction and reflux. Our osteopaths can help mothers to feel physically prepared for labour as well as aid in their recovery from the birth using gentle, non-invasive techniques combined with exercises and advice.
