Many common issues in babies are caused by tensions from a stressful birth, baby's position in the womb, or difficulties during pregnancy. Osteopathy can help.
Conditions we can help with.
Colic is often linked to tensions in the digestive system or around the diaphragm following birth. Gentle osteopathy aims to release these tensions and help your baby feel more comfortable and settled.
Poor sleep in babies can be related to discomfort, tension or difficulty settling. Osteopathy can help identify and address the underlying physical cause so your baby can rest more easily.
Difficulty latching, preference for one side, or painful feeding can all be addressed with osteopathy. Katie works alongside lactation consultants where appropriate to give your baby the best start.
Reflux and digestive issues in babies may be linked to tension around the diaphragm or oesophagus. Gentle osteopathic treatment can help reduce symptoms naturally without medication.
Plagiocephaly and brachycephaly can develop in the early weeks. Early osteopathic intervention alongside repositioning advice can make a significant difference to head shape.
Difficult deliveries, forceps, ventouse births and tongue tie can all leave babies with residual tensions. Katie treats the whole picture to help your baby thrive from the very start.
If your baby seems uncomfortable, cries frequently, or is difficult to settle without an obvious cause, osteopathy can help identify and address underlying physical tension from birth.
Katie is currently undertaking Mummy MOT Practitioner training and supports mothers with post-natal recovery alongside baby osteopathy, treating both mother and baby in the same appointment where possible.
As children grow, postural issues, growing pains and musculoskeletal concerns can develop. Katie provides evidence-based osteopathic care tailored to children of all ages and activity levels.
Children involved in sport can sustain strains, sprains and overuse injuries. Katie offers gentle, age-appropriate treatment to help young athletes recover well and stay active.
