Support for Babies and Children
Babies and children can experience tension, stiffness, or discomfort just like adults, especially after difficult births, growth spurts, or bumps and falls as they grow. Paediatric and cranial osteopathy use very gentle, non‑invasive techniques to help release areas of strain, support freer movement, and promote relaxation in younger bodies.
At Lumena Clinic in Milton Keynes, treatment for babies and children is always adapted to their age and stage of development, with a calm, child‑led approach and plenty of time for parents to ask questions. The aim is not to diagnose or replace medical care, but to gently support comfort, posture, and movement patterns, and to help little ones feel more settled where possible.
Parents may choose to bring their baby or child for osteopathic support if they notice:
- Signs of general tension, stiffness, or preference to look or turn one way
- Restless behaviour, discomfort with certain positions, or difficulties settling
- Aches, pains, or postural changes in older children, especially around growth spurts or sports
Techniques are light and respectful, often involving subtle holds and gentle movements, and many children find sessions soothing and relaxing. Osteopathic care works best alongside guidance from your midwife, health visitor, GP, or paediatric team.
