Paediatric Osteopathy

Osteopathic Techniques are suitable for children at all stages of development. We will assess your child to see what might help. Claire Piper has over 30 years experience of working with children and is also a qualified Infant Feeding Coach and Tongue Tie Assessor registered with FEDANT, meaning she can discuss breast and bottle feeding issues and give advice alongside osteopathic treatment. As a FEDANT Registered professional you can be assured that Claire adheres to rigorous standards of education and practice, demonstrating her commitment to excellence when guiding you through your infant feeding journey.

Osteopaths work under the principle that there may be a number of contributing factors to a child’s symptoms and will therefore evaluate not only the area which is producing symptoms, but also associated areas that may be contributing to the issue including past trauma, environmental factors and the family’s health history. 

Osteopaths use gentle techniques such as cranial osteopathy when treating young children and babies. Gentle treatment could help sooth and relax your baby. Older children can be helped by working on muscles and joints to improve mobility and function.
