Mums, Teenagers, Children and Babies
If you are seeking a first class osteopathic service for the entire family, David has two decades experience of helping mums and babies. David also works with children and teenagers, focusing on injury prevention and treatment, whilst also helping them achieve their physical potential and laying the foundations for long term postural health.
Children and adolescents
Osteopaths understand the importance of recognising any issues quickly such as treating aches, pains and injuries in children, in turn avoiding future issues. Your child will receive the highest possible standard of care and the correct advice to return them to health or normal activities as quickly as possible.
David also provides advice for teenagers on the most suitable exercises for their developing postures whilst also busting some of the more unhelpful myths around strength and conditioning that pervade social media. The end goal is to help teenagers avoid bad habits, achieve their physical potential and build a firm foundation for lifelong movement
Mums and babies
Having a baby can take its toll on the body, from pains during pregnancy, recovering from the birth or returning to exercise. Osteopathy is safe during every stage of pregnancy, and when combined with conditioning advice will ensure a quick return to normal function and fitness. Osteopathy can help mums recover and manage the new demands placed on their bodies following birth with treatment and easy to follow stretching or conditioning advice.
Specially qualified osteopaths like David are able to assess and treat you and your baby following the birth, supporting you at every step of the way to full recovery. Great care will be taken in understanding your pregnancy and birth history whilst also discussing your child’s feeding and digestion. David often works closely with tongue-tie specialists and paediatricians in helping your baby with their latch.
