Babies and Children
Osteopathy is a holistic treatment that starts by understanding the effects of pregnancy and birth, and the implications this has on the health, growth and development of the baby and child. All our osteopaths are experienced Paediatric Osteopaths, and we have been treating babies and children in the practice for over 40 years.
A Clinic Audit of Churchdown Osteopaths in 2015 showed the following:
