Pediatric Osteopathy

Pediatric Osteopathy involves a comprehensive clinical and historical assessment of young patients, followed by meticulous and detailed treatment by our Osteopaths. We use gentle manual therapy techniques to address a variety of issues including hiccups, latching issues, torticollis, birth injuries (e.g., shoulder dystocia, Erb’s palsy), flat head syndrome, sleeping disturbances, constipation, cranial deformities, and acid reflux. Our therapists are also trained to treat congenital differences such as flat feet (pes planus), knock knee (genu valgus), bow-legged (genu varum), pigeon-toed (in-toeing), or duck feet (out-toeing).

Adult Osteopathy

In adults, Osteopathy focuses on restoring function, reducing pain, and improving overall health and well-being. Our Osteopaths assess and treat a wide range of conditions using manual techniques aimed at addressing the root cause of symptoms. Whether you’re recovering from an injury, managing chronic or acute pain, or seeking to enhance your general health, Osteopathy offers a holistic approach to care.
