Osteopathy for babies, children and teens

[UCOClinic]

Hi everyone,

Just wanted to let you know about our Paediatric clinic in case it may be helpful to some of you.

We're based in Central London, and welcome patients from newborn up to 17 years of age. We aim to support young people of all ages to manage their physical and mental well-being and to provide guidance and reassurance for new families as they get to know their babies.

Some patients are referred on to us and already have a medical diagnosis we may be able to help with, but many of our appointments are self-referrals from parents.

Sometimes parents are experiencing feeding difficulties with their baby, or their baby may appear unsettled or have a preference for turning their head one way. Occasionally parents have concerns about the way their child walks or moves.

Older children often come in with a musculoskeletal injuries resulting from sports or physical activity, but we are also seeing an increasing number of young patients who are experiencing the effects of stress on both their physical and mental health.

Often all parents need is reassurance or some simple tips or excercises to take away with them, although more complex cases may require further assistance or referrals to other forms of support if appropriate.

All of the osteopaths working within our paediatric clinic are experienced, fully qualified osteopaths who are undertaking specialist training in paediatric care, and the safety and wellbeing of our patients is obviously incredibly important to us.

If you think we may be able to help please do get in touch and book an appointment on 020 7089 5360 or email [email protected].
