Premier Paediatric Osteopathy Treatments

Paediatric Osteopathy Treatment for Infants & Babies

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“I highly recommend Barbara Paumelle for newborn osteopathy treatments. I went to see her for my 2,5 months old baby who has suffered from weeks of relentless colic which resulted in him being overly stiff, in pain, and unable to sleep on his back. Things improved radically after our first consult, and after the third I can say that my newborn is a happy relaxed chap comfortably lying and sleeping on his back. Barbara is not only knowledgeable but extremely gentle with her little patients. The relief provided must have been instant given the big smiles my baby was giving her throughout the treatments.”

Charlotte Ebert

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

“Awesome experience with Barbara who did a full body check of my 4 month old baby. I came in with some specific concerns like neck mobility and flat spot but she did a full assessment and corrected a couple of things I hadn’t noticed. She was extremely gentle with him and the hour consultation flew by. Highly recommend everyone have their babies checked up at some point if they can.’

Frequently Asked Questions
About Baby Osteopathy

Yes — osteopathy for infants is extremely gentle and safe. Our paediatric osteopaths use soft, non-invasive techniques appropriate for newborns.

Babies can be seen from just a few days old. Early treatment can help release birth-related tension and support healthy development.

This varies depending on your baby’s needs. Some see improvement after one or two sessions, while others may benefit from a short course of treatments.

Babies usually find the treatment soothing and often fall asleep. Occasionally, they may fuss briefly as their body releases tension, which is normal and temporary.

Osteopathy may help relieve physical tension affecting the diaphragm and digestive system, improving comfort for babies who experience colic or reflux.
