Pediatric osteopathy focuses on the gentle assessment and treatment of babies, children, and adolescents. As children grow, their bodies undergo rapid physical and developmental changes. Sometimes, tension or strain—whether from birth, growth spurts, posture, or minor injuries—can affect their comfort, movement, or development.

Osteopathic treatment for children is gentle, safe, and specifically adapted to suit each stage of growth. Using light touch and subtle techniques such as cranial and soft tissue therapy, an osteopath helps release tension, improve mobility, and support healthy musculoskeletal and nervous system function.

Paediatric osteopathy aims to promote optimal alignment and balance, assisting the body’s natural ability to grow and adapt. It can be beneficial for issues such as feeding or sleeping difficulties in infants, postural concerns, or aches and pains in active children and teenagers.
