News: Torticollis or Wry Neck

Submitted by admin on Thu, 27/10/2011 - 3:13pm

Stiff or Wry neck is a very common musculoskeletal problem found in babies. Babies will usually have their head tilted to one side and will turn their head mostly in one direction. Osteopathy in the cranial field or biodynamic osteopathy is a gentle, natural therapy which helps to normalize neck and head mobility. Osteopathic examination of babies with torticollis often shows an imbalance between the upper part of the neck and the base of the skull. This imbalance can be caused by the birth itself. - more

News: The Importance of Nose Breathing

Submitted by admin on Thu, 13/10/2011 - 1:38pm

Nose breathing as opposed to mouth breathing, if established early in life allows a child to have less breathing issues and they are more likely to have well positioned teeth. Mouth breathing can lead to a narrow dental arch and overcrowding of the teeth. Osteopathy helps by improving the function of the sinuses to make nose breathing more comfortable for the child. Nose breathing is important because small hairs in the nose and the curved shape of the nasal passage help to filter and humidify the air before it reaches the lungs. - more

News: Cranial Osteopathy for Unsettled Babies

Submitted by admin on Thu, 29/09/2011 - 5:02pm

When a baby is born, the soft skull is deliberately designed to close in so that the baby’s head can pass through the pelvis. However, this and the general experience of childbirth can leave a baby with short- or long-term stress points such as headaches which are worse when they lay down (making it hard to settle or sleep) or in their nose and throat (making it hard to feed).  - more

News: Gentle Care for New Born Babies

Submitted by admin on Thu, 08/09/2011 - 4:09pm

We have been a very busy centre with plenty of parents bringing in thier new born babies for a post-birth check-up.   Osteopathic treatment can positively affect the central nervous system, and the digestive and immune function. Some of the more common issues we treat are unsettled behaviour, poor suckling and attachment, colic, constipation and wind pain, and flattening of the head shape.  With cranial osteopathy there is no cracking or clicking of the joints, treatment only uses very gentle pressure to release any strains. 

News: Osteopathy - A Unique Philosophy of Care

Submitted by admin on Thu, 25/08/2011 - 1:05pm

Osteopaths recognise that the body is inherently capable of healing itself. The body must continually work to fight stressors that are physical, emotional and even chemical. Ostepaths believe that all of the body's systems, the nervous, the circulatory, musculoskeletal ect. work together. Imbalances in one particular system may effect function elsewhere in the body. An osteopath will look for the underlying causes of disease, instead of just treating your symptoms. Biodynamic Ostoepathy is a very gentle way of correcting these strains and imbalances.
