Babies and Children

When osteopaths examine babies, areas of tension are often found in the spine or head which are indications that the baby is uncomfortable. A baby cannot complain of back ache or headache, and will typically express this by crying and being unsettled or irritable.

In a research study conducted by osteopathic Clive Hayden  into the effects of cranial osteopathic treatment on babies, some parents perceived the following changes in their childrens behaviour: Reduced colicky crying, improved sleep, less unsettled irritable behaviour and increased quiet happy spells.
