Osteopathy was created in the 1800’s by a medical doctor as a complete system of healthcare, a heritage which still reflects in the way modern Osteopaths are trained to understand and treat their patients. Osteopaths now train for 5 years, and have a very rounded, holistic and scientific understanding of the body, and how its many different systems interconnect and influence each other. Their understanding of the body’s structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) – and their mutual interdependence – gives them many levers through which to reduce pain, restore balance and support health, without drugs

Cranial Osteopathy for Babies & Children

Cranial osteopathy is a highly specialised, natural and safe way of helping babies settle into life after birth, aiming to help calm the nervous system, promote normal physiological function and remove any compressions resulting from late pregnancy and birth that may cause irritation and discomfort. Children respond really well to cranial work too, and people often bring their children in for specific issues as well as for general check-ups as their children grow, much like their 6-monthly dental checkup.

Osteopathy is great for Mums (and Dads!) too - a gentle and effective way of relieving pre- and post-natal discomforts including back pain, public symphysis pain, heartburn, muscle pain, postural issues, in addition to your body’s general recovery after birth.

At the Tree of Life Centre, our osteopaths works closely alongside the clinic’s in-house GP, nutritionist, homeopath, and counsellor to provide additional help whenever it is required by working closely with you as part of a friendly and caring team of specialists.  

Our Osteopaths are always happy to have a chat on the phone or in person, answer any questions you may have, and explain how they may be able to help you or your child.

Each Osteopath has their own specialisms, in addition to general practice;
