Paediatric Osteopathy: A Gentle Approach to Your Baby’s Well-Being

Common Conditions Treated by an Osteopath

  1. Congenital Torticollis: A head position asymmetry often caused by compression during birth. Osteopathy restores neck mobility and prevents long-term postural issues.

  2. Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome): A common cranial deformation due to prolonged positioning on one side. The osteopath helps rebalance tensions and promote harmonious skull growth.

  3. Gastroesophageal Reflux (GERD) and Colic: Eases digestive discomfort and reflux by improving diaphragm and digestive mobility.

  4. Feeding Issues: An inefficient latch, crying during breastfeeding, or a baby who tires quickly at the breast/bottle may be due to jaw, palate, or neck tensions. Osteopathy enhances the mobility of these structures for a more comfortable feeding experience.

  5. Digestive Problems: Irregular bowel movements, painful gas, or constipation can result from tensions in the abdomen and pelvis. Osteopathy promotes better intestinal mobility and relief from digestive discomfort.

  6. Sleep Disorders: Restless sleep or difficulty falling asleep may be linked to body tensions. An osteopathy session helps relax the baby and encourages more restful sleep.

  7. Recurrent Infections: Frequent ear infections, rhinitis, or bronchiolitis can be improved through osteopathic techniques that enhance drainage and cranial mobility.

Frequently Asked Questions- Osteopathy

  • Paediatric osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach designed to support babies and children as they grow and develop. Techniques are adapted to be very light and safe, focusing on improving movement, comfort, and overall balance in the body.


  • Birth can sometimes lead to physical tensions or imbalances, particularly if the delivery was long, difficult, or involved medical interventions such as forceps, vacuum extraction, or a C-section. Paediatric osteopathy addresses these issues by releasing tension and supporting your baby’s natural development. This approach is particularly helpful in alleviating a variety of common conditions.

  • Each session begins with a conversation with the parents to understand the baby’s birth history and any current symptoms. The osteopath then performs gentle, precise manipulations that are completely painless and tailored to your newborn’s delicate body. The goal of the session is to restore balance and promote well-being through a smooth and comforting process.

  • We recommend scheduling a session with an osteopath in the first few weeks of life, particularly if the birth was difficult or if you notice signs of discomfort or tension in your baby. Follow-up sessions can be beneficial as your baby reaches important developmental milestones, such as gaining head control, rolling over, or walking.

  • Yes. Paediatric osteopathy uses extremely gentle techniques that are appropriate for infants, toddlers, and children. Treatments are always tailored to the child’s age, size, and individual needs.


  • Only to the extent that is comfortable. Many assessments and treatments can be done with your baby partially clothed or in a nappy, while keeping them warm and settled.


  • This varies depending on your child’s presentation and response to treatment. Some babies may benefit from just one or two sessions, while others may need ongoing support. Your osteopath will discuss a tailored plan with you.

  • Yes. When performed by a qualified practitioner trained in paediatric care, massage therapy is very safe. Pressure and techniques are always adjusted to suit your child’s age, size, and individual needs.

  • Sessions are typically shorter than adult treatments. Babies and toddlers may only tolerate 15–30 minutes, depending on their comfort and mood. Sessions are always child-led and flexible.

  • Yes. Parents or caregivers are encouraged to be present at all times. This helps children feel safe and allows parents to observe techniques and ask questions.

  • Only to the level that is comfortable for both the child and parent. Massage can be performed over clothing or with specific areas exposed while maintaining warmth and modesty.

  • That’s completely okay. Sessions are adapted to your child’s cues. Sometimes education, gentle touch, or parent instruction replaces hands-on treatment if that’s what your child needs that day.

  • If oils are used, they are child-safe, gentle, and hypoallergenic. Parents will always be informed and can opt out if preferred.

  • Yes. Parent education is a key part of paediatric massage. Simple, safe techniques are taught so parents can confidently support their child’s care at home.

  • Frequency depends on your child’s needs and goals. Some families come occasionally for support, while others choose more regular sessions. This can be discussed during your visit.

  • In most cases, no referral is required. However, massage therapy works best alongside your child’s healthcare team, and referrals are welcome if provided.
