Osteopathy for Babies and Children in Oxford

Infant Osteopathy in Oxford

Your child may need osteopathic treatment at different stages of his or her life.

Tensions can start to build up at the start of their journey in utero with the breech position or other uncommon presentations or depending how long they have been engaged. Then, different birth processes can occur affecting the baby in different ways such as: a long labour, an instrumental delivery or a C-section. Most babies cope perfectly well with their birth as tensions naturally ease in the following days but some babies will need a helping hand.

Your child goes through many stages of development: from in utero through birth to sitting, crawling, chewing, walking, talking, learning etc.. each of these stages require new physical and neurological input. Osteopathy can help through these milestones by optimising mobility making sure the baby can develop and strengthen properly and releasing any tension that could be hindering this. Osteopaths will give exercises and advice to parents to continue their treatment at home.

Later on, your child will go through growth spurts, sports injuries and bad posture with many hours sitting at a desk. Osteopathy can relieve pain, promote recovery and correct their posture.

The most common presentations of babies in our osteopathic practice are:

Wind, colic and sleep difficulties
Plagiocephaly (flat head) and torticollis

Went twice to see Sophia for back pain. Sophia has a nice touch and explains what she is doing. Wonderful results few days after with the exercises she sent me to practice at home. Highly recommended. Michael Cable
Amazing service and experience for my newborn baby. Eglantine is extremely knowledgeable, health conscious and gentle, and I feel my little girl really benefited from her sessions. Will definitely be back! Ashley Racine
Eglantine is a brilliant Oesto. She has sorted out my chronic shoulder and jaw problems, I now see her regularly to keep me in optimal health. Eglantine will forever be my “go to” person for mine and my families health needs. Paula Felgate
Hightly recommend. Had some treatment here with Sophia, she was fantastic. What I Initially thought was a big problem was easily fixed in two sessions and she gave great follow up exercises. Christopher Phillips
Eglantine is someone I trust with my eyes closed. She is knowledgable, gentle, thorough and loves what she does. I have seen her for treatment many times over the years and I always refer friends. She never disappoints! Highly recommend. Maude Huguet
