Paediatric Osteopathy
Osteopathic care for growing bodies
From those first unsettled weeks to growth spurts and early adolescence, children’s bodies are constantly changing. Paediatric osteopathy offers gentle, hands-on support for children experiencing sports injuries, tension, restricted movement, aches or discomfort.
Our paediatric osteopaths adapt treatment carefully to your child’s age and needs, taking time to listen to your concerns and assess how they move. The aim is to help your child feel more comfortable and give you greater confidence about what to do next. Book an appointment today with a children’s osteopath in Clapham and Wimbledon.
Baby osteopath for unsettled infants
When your baby is unsettled and struggling with feeding, reflux, or sleep, it can be hard to know what they need or whether you’re doing everything right. Cranial osteopathy uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to ease tension through the head, face, neck and body, helping your baby feel more comfortable while giving you greater peace of mind. It can be particularly relevant after a prolonged or assisted birth, where physical strain may contribute to restricted neck movement, feeding difficulties or one-sided movement patterns.
Paediatric osteopathy for growing children & teens
As your child grows, it’s natural to want reassurance that the aches, posture changes or movement patterns you notice are simply part of growing up. Our children’s osteopath can help with concerns such as muscle strains, sprains, headaches, growing pains and postural issues. Treatment is adapted to your child’s age and activity level, focusing on helping them move comfortably, stay active, and feel confident in their body. For peace of mind, book an assessment or get in touch today.

When to see a paediatric osteopath
You don’t need to know exactly what is causing the problem before booking. Parents come to us because something simply doesn’t seem quite right. Their baby seems uncomfortable, their child keeps complaining of the same ache, or a teenager struggles with movement after sport. Our children’s osteopath will listen to your concerns, assess your child’s movement and areas of tension or restriction, and begin treatment as appropriate.

Your osteopath will take time to understand your concerns, relevant medical history and how your child is moving. They’ll assess the areas involved, explain what they find and discuss the most appropriate next step. Treatment can usually begin during the same appointment where appropriate.
For babies and young infants, the appointment also gives you time to talk through pregnancy, birth history, feeding, sleep, movement and anything else you have noticed. Treatment is gentle and carefully adapted to your baby.
Paediatric osteopathy uses gentle, non-invasive techniques adapted to your child’s age and needs. Your osteopath will explain what they are doing throughout the appointment.
A prolonged, assisted or unusually positioned birth can place physical strain on a baby’s body. Your osteopath will consider factors such as forceps, ventouse or birth position when looking at neck restriction, one-sided movement, feeding difficulties or general discomfort.
Parents often seek osteopathic support when their baby struggles to latch, seems uncomfortable during feeding or consistently favours turning their head one way. Your osteopath will assess whether tension or restricted movement may be contributing.
Colic and reflux symptoms are common reasons parents bring babies to us. Your osteopath will look at the wider picture, including birth history, feeding, movement and areas of physical tension that may be contributing to discomfort.
No. Paediatric osteopathy can support children through infancy, childhood and adolescence. Growing pains, headaches, posture, muscle strains, sprains and sports-related tension are all reasons parents may seek treatment.
Paediatric osteopathy describes osteopathic care specifically adapted for babies, children and teens. Cranial osteopathy is one gentle technique an osteopath may use as part of that care. Your osteopath may also draw on other paediatric, visceral or hands-on techniques depending on your child’s needs.
Initial assessments last up to 45 minutes. Follow-up appointments are usually 30 or 45 minutes, depending on what your osteopath recommends.
There is no fixed number. It depends on what your child needs and how they respond to treatment. Your osteopath will review progress and explain whether further appointments are worthwhile.
Annie was friendly, professional and most importantly, knew her stuff. Within 5 minutes of my first appointment and meeting her? I knew I was in good hands and could trust her with the consultation. After the examination and discussing her findings, we came up with a good working plan that worked for me and my daily routine plus home exercises. Have a follow up and am sure there is going to be progress seen then.
Nordic Balance is always my go to for physio. I have seen both Michael for extensive physio on my knees and more recently Pooja for a sports massage. All staff are professional, knowledgeable and the space is clean and modern. The whole experience is great. I’ve recommended my husband and several others to here and will continue to do so.
I saw debbie for a physio assessment session, she listened to what I was hoping to get out of the session, then did a thorough analysis, and provided excellent useful written suggestions by email. Very happy.
Gina is an incredible therapist. I suffer from chronic headaches and the combination of her osteopathy and acupuncture treatment has been life altering. I highly recommend her for anyone suffering from chronic conditions.
Debbie was fantastic, very friendly and providing extremely detailed analysis of my current situation. She assessed where I currently am at the and next steps of where I need to get to, giving me specific exercises targeted to improve certain areas.
