Who can we treat?

Osteopathy is suitable for people of all ages, from babies, to older individuals, including pregnant women. Some specific groups are discussed in more detail below.

Treatment during pregnancy:
A woman’s body changes during pregnancy. Those changes include the softening of ligaments, weight increase and changes to posture. That can lead to additional pressure on joints in various parts of the body, including the spine or pelvis.

Babies:
Babies are more sensitive than adults to treatment and osteopaths will therefore use more gentle techniques such as cranial osteopathy when treating babies.
