OSTEOPATHY FOR BABIES AND MUMS

Parents bring their babies and children to see osteopaths for many reasons including:

• post-natal musculo-skeletal check ups

• postural assessments

• digestive issues including colic

• difficulty sleeping
  

• general aches and pains
  

Osteopathy for Babies :

Osteopaths are interested in how your baby or child’s body is moving. Areas that are not moving so well can affect the way the body’s systems work and develop. Osteopathic treatment restores the normal movement in the muscles, ligaments and joints of the body which in turn can have a more global affect in improving general health in patients. In this way treatment may improve symptoms of a wide range of illness and discomfort.

At your first appointment the osteopath will discuss details of the pregnancy and labour and the child’s general health. Then they will carry out appropriate examinations which include looking at movement, reflexes and posture in order to assess tension and restrictions in the body.

The osteopath will explain what they have found and how they might be able to help. Treatment techniques include gentle massage and cranial osteopathy and aims to make the body as relaxed and comfortable as possible. The osteopath may also provide advice on exercise, posture and diet.

Testimonials:

Alexandra Freeman is an excellent osteopath, has relieved my back pain following my treatments with her. She takes time to find out the cause of the pain, alleviates the pain and is a pleasure to work with. I cannot recommend her enough.

– V. Harrison

I have been visiting Alexandra for some months now to address lower back pains.  Alexandra is incredibly warm, engaging and approachable yet very professional and thorough. She puts you at ease and is very good at explaining the reasons for the condition and the treatment she administers in ways that laypeople can understand. Alexandra also treated a relative of mine for neck and shoulder strains; who has been visiting other osteopaths for treatments.  They commented that Alexandra’s treatment was excellent and cured the problem, unlike other Osteopaths!  One of the best and most exceptional and effective osteopaths ever.  I would strongly recommend Alexandra.
