Book a paediatric osteopathy appointment
Like adults, children of all ages can benefit greatly from osteopathic treatment. Paediatric osteopathy usually involves using gentle techniques such as cranial osteopathy, to treat perinatal patients, babies, children, and teenagers.
All of our Paediatric Osteopaths have completed specialist training with a two-year post-graduate Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy on top of their four-year osteopathy degree, which means that they can safely and effectively examine, diagnose and treat children of all stages of development.
Parents are welcome to contact us directly for an appointment if they have any concerns they want looked at. We also receive referrals from other practitioners involved in the care of children such as GPs, midwives, health visitors, and speech and language therapists.
If you have any questions or would like to discuss your child’s specific case before booking, please telephone or email the practice to speak to Chiara or Ruth.
Otherwise, you can book online here.
FAQ

Is there anywhere to leave a pram?
We are accessible by lift, so you can bring your pram to your appointment!
Is the clinic accessible?
We are fully accessible, as long as you use the entrance with a slope. After this, there is a lift to the first floor.
