Special Needs

Because our osteopaths practice in the cranial field, this form of gentle treatment works well for those with genetic disorders, chronic immunity issues and persistent problems associated with the nervous, hormonal and/or musculoskeletal systems.

Common conditions that we treat in this area include:

Our approach is non-invasive. The osteopath cradles different parts of your body (e.g. head, back and sometimes feet), applying gentle pressure. Treatments generally require you to lie on the treatment table but other positions might be more comfortable for you.

As there is no massage or forceful manipulation involved, our clients with special needs generally find our treatments quite enjoyable and relaxing. Some even fall asleep at the table.

You remain fully clothed throughout the session, which makes the treatment process even easier and more comfortable.

Symptoms we treat may include:

  • Muscular coordination issues
  • Muscle tension and pain
  • Headaches
  • Back, neck and jaw pain
  • Joint pain
  • Immunity issues
  • Digestive issues
  • Breathing difficulties
  • Concentration and sleeping difficulties
  • Nerve-ending sensitivity
  • Stress and fatigue
  • Sinus congestion (in Down syndrome children)
