Our goal with osteopathic treatment for children is to remove physical tension and pain in the body that may be associated with common childhood conditions.
Paediatric osteopathy can also promote healthy body symmetry, proper postural alignment and seeks to nurture growing bodies as they transition into adolescence.
Common Paediatric Conditions
Conditions in children commonly presenting to osteopaths include, but are not limited to:
- Sporting injuries
- Muscular strain, tension and restrictions associated with asthma
- In-toeing (turning in of feet) / Out-toeing (turning out of feet)
- Muscle strains and fatigue associated with growing pains
- Minor strains and sprains resulting from injury
- Primary headaches resulting from muscular tension
Our osteopathic treatment process typically includes the following:
- Consultation: We conduct a thorough assessment of your condition, medical history, and lifestyle to gain a comprehensive understanding of your needs.
- Diagnosis: Based on the assessment, we will provide a clear and accurate diagnosis, explaining the root cause of your pain or discomfort.
- Treatment: We will use various techniques to relieve pain, restore mobility, and improve overall health and well-being.
- Aftercare: We will advise you on self-care, exercises, and lifestyle changes to help maintain your progress and prevent future injuries.
