Osteopathy
Osteopathy is a long established system of diagnosis and treatment designed to identify the causes of pain and dysfunction within the musculoskeletal system and related areas. As described by the General Osteopathic Council, osteopathy is a system of diagnosis and treatment for a wide range of medical conditions. It works with the structure and function of the body, and is based on the principle that the wellbeing of an individual depends on the skeleton, muscles, ligaments and connective tissues functioning smoothly together.
Paediatric Osteopathy
Paediatric Osteopathy in Bedminster
Babies and children can develop tension in their bodies during pregnancy, birth or as they grow.
Paediatric osteopathy uses very gentle hands-on techniques to support the body’s natural ability to adapt and develop.
Families from across South Bristol visit my Bedminster clinic (BS3) for support with their children’s health and wellbeing.
Babies May Benefit From Osteopathy If They Experience:

Treatment for Babies
Treatment is extremely gentle, often involving light touch techniques designed to support the body’s natural movement and relaxation.
Parents remain present throughout treatment and can ask questions at any time.
