What is paediatric osteopathy?
Osteopathy looks at the overall health of the body by assessing the health of the musculoskeletal system and its connection with the nervous system. Treatment usually involves gently manipulating the muscles, joints, and organs with the aim of relieving tension. This, in turn, may reduce pain or improve development.
A paediatric osteopath is trained to assess and address these issues in children and infants. As their bodies are still developing, they often need gentler and more attentive care. A paediatric osteopath has years of experience in this area, so they may provide care to the whole family.
What issues may osteopathic treatment help?
Paediatric osteopathy may be used to manage a variety of conditions and concerns, such as:
- Sporting injuries
- Shoulder pain
- Growing pains
- Flat head, favouring one side (plagiocephally examination)
- Headaches and migraines
- Poor posture
- Walking or crawling difficulties
- Developmental concerns
- Babies who struggle to latch
- Tongue and lip ties (oral examination)
- And more

How osteopathy aims to support your child’s health
Non-invasive care
An osteopath uses non-invasive techniques to address concerns, aiming to avoid the potential complications of other healthcare treatments.
Supported development
Through physical manipulation and correction, osteopathic treatment may support your child’s natural development.
Faster recovery
With tailored support, children may benefit from gentle care and injury treatment, potentially speeding up the recovery process.
Injury prevention
Osteopathic treatment may improve mobility, which may decrease the risk of future injury, preserving your child’s health.
Your paediatric osteopathy questions
What should I expect in an appointment?
Most appointments begin with a consultation. This is where a paediatric osteopath will discuss your concerns and issues and help develop a treatment plan.
Your osteopath may also examine the site of concern to develop a better understanding of the issues.
The treatment includes gentle osteopathic techniques to aid in joint movement and support your child’s posture. Treatment can also be lightly and directly performed on the digestive organs to assist in tummy upsets. A big part of your consultation will involve getting take home advice for you to help keep your child thriving after their sessions.
How old must a baby be before they may receive treatment?
Babies can be brought in for osteopathic treatment at any age; many come in for care just a few weeks after birth. This means that your osteopath may assess your child’s development and progress, potentially identifying concerns before they occur.
Osteopathic care may even make it easier for your child to sleep and latch during breastfeeding. This may reduce the need for mothers to meet with expensive lactation consultants.
How many sessions will my child need?
How many sessions your child will need will depend on their condition. For any injury, they may only need a few sessions to check that they are on the right track to recovery. However, other conditions, such as scoliosis or hypermobility, may require more sessions.
