Infants
Osteopathy is an extremely gentle form of treatment that is suitable from birth and all through childhood.
Caring for an unsettled child who is in discomfort can be exceptionally stressful. Osteopathic treatment can be beneficial for babies or children who may be experiencing:
-
Torticollis (head tilt and/or rotation preference)
-
Plagiocephaly (Flat Head Syndrome)
-
Crying or irritability for long periods
-
Signs of digestive discomfort
Audrey has completed numerous paediatric post-graduate courses including the management of plagiocephaly, torticollis and tongue-tie.
Audrey uses a highly sensitive photographic measuring app to assess all infants for head shape asymmetry (plagiocephaly/brachycephaly). These measurements allow for early detection and management of these conditions, and the app allows paretns to monitor progress easily at home.
