Paediatric Osteopathy can be used to treat children with a wide range of conditions, from relatively minor ailments through to asthma, epilepsy, contagious diseases and cerebral palsy.

We treat hundreds of children each week, of all ages, and with a variety of problems. For a parent the treatment is particularly welcome, as it does not involve the use of any drugs or methods which can cause side effects or possible problems later in life. It is a well-established medical discipline, regulated by a statutory council and backed up by research.

Each paediatric osteopath is a fully qualified osteopathic graduate, who undergoes two years clinical training with the OCC to obtain the Diploma in Paediatric Osteopathy.

The OCC's Clinics

Our clinics are designed to feel safe and relaxing to the children who visit. They are large, airy spaces with no white coats or enclosed rooms.

Experience has shown that a communal treatment room is the optimum environment for children - they don’t like being closed in as it makes them nervous and unsure - particularly when surrounded by adults who tower above them.
