Every baby is unique.

​​​​

I will spend time listening to your baby's journey so far & gather information about the issues that have led you to seek help

​

Here are the main reasons for why parents bring their baby to me:

​

• Your baby has difficulty lying comfortably.

• Feeding is stressful and the baby seems uncomfortable during or after feeding.

• Your baby is not content, seems unsettled or is difficult to soothe.

• The baby seems tense.

• You feel that something doesn’t seem quite right.

​

​​​I will also ask you about the pregnancy, the birth, the delivery & screen your baby for medical problems.

 

If a medical problem is suspected to be contributing to the symptoms, I may provide advice or make recommendations to help.

 

I will then perform a holistic physical assessment of your baby. 

​

I look at the relationship between physical tension and the function of the body. Treatment aims to ease physical tensions & restore balance to the body so that the body can begin to function better.

 

My approach to the treatment of babies is very gentle and looks very unspectacular - this is intentional. Babies’ skeletons are softer than an adult’s and so I will therefore use gentle techniques such as cranial osteopathy when treating babies. Treatment is a holistic approach that considers the whole body.

 

It is advised that the patient has no active infections or fever when you come in.

 

It is also advised that the patient has fed recently before their appointment. However, bring milk and your changing bag because they are usually needed. There is time for feeding and changing if required.​

 

I look forward to seeing you soon.
