What is Paediatric Osteopathy

What is paediatric osteopathy?

Osteopathy employs a wholistic approach to treating the child’s body, using hands-on techniques to support the body’s self-healing abilities. At the Children’s Osteopathic Centre, the osteopath is most interested in free motion and alignment of the body framework and its relationship to organ function, circulation, and the nervous system. Treatment and management are tailored to the individual child or baby.
