Osteopathy, through its focus on the musculoskeletal system, can also support a wide range of conditions, including digestive issues, overactive bladder, endometriosis, respiratory conditions, anxiety, and more.
This gentle approach is especially beneficial for babies and older children. Dr. Patricia uses a very gentle method to address various issues such as digestive discomfort, unsettled behavior, torticollis (stiff neck), latching difficulties, and plagiocephaly (flattened head).
For older children, common concerns that osteopathy can help with include back or neck pain, headaches, constipation, anxiety, postural issues, foot pain (such as flat feet), joint pain, and injuries.
