At North Canberra Osteopathy, we care for families from conception to birth and beyond including the care of your newest edition. Our team has specialised training in paediatrics and women’s health, including pregnancy and breast care. We especially love helping babies feed and providing support for those who are unsettled and uncomfortable. Additionally, we offer general osteopathy to support the rest of the family.
Osteopaths are university educated allied health professionals. We are primarily manual therapists, and use hands-on treatment to care for our patients.
Treating babies, toddlers and school age children is a special interest we have at North Canberra Osteopathy. We see a range of conditions including musculoskeletal and neurological issues, movement concerns, breastfeeding issues and birth trauma. We have lots of techniques we use during a paediatric consult to relax and reassure our little patients. Often our baby patients fall asleep during their consult or sleep right through it. Our techniques are gentle and relaxing. There’s nothing fast, or rough. Throughout your child’s appointment we will explain and guide you through what we are doing and why. We’re more than happy to talk to you before you book in. If you need some more information on how osteopathy might be able to help your child, please contact us!
