infant osteopathy
WHAT TO EXPECT…
During the first appointment, our Osteopath will check for any symptoms your baby has such as reflux, colic, feeding issues, jaw restriction and more. They will fully screen your history including your prenatal and pregnancy health, family history and labour and delivery experience.
A physical assessment of the whole baby's body will be conducted - the Osteopath will be looking for any imbalance and if they have symptoms identifying the reason. For example, difficulty breastfeeding can be linked to stiffness of the jaw muscles, stiffness of the neck or shoulder or digestive issues of the baby.
After understanding the source of your baby's symptoms an individualised treatment and management plan will be discussed.
This plan can include manual osteopathic techniques, lifestyle changes/habits and exercises/stretches.
