Case history: family treatment
Maria and family
Maria, her husband and three children have all visited Chris for treatment.
"I first came when I was pregnant with my youngest daughter who is now 2 ½. She was breech and I wanted to check that my body was aligned for the birth. Since then I've been for more specific complaints, often as a result of lifting the children."
Maria also brings her son Barnaby for treatment for his asthma, which was quite severe, but is now controlled predominantly with homeopathy, and supported by cranial osteopathy without the use of any steroids or inhalers.
"Now I think of it as an annual MOT, even if we haven't had anything in particular crop up, if it gets to the end of the year, we just book in as a matter of course. Even sleeping can put you slightly out of line, so we come in as a family and all have a session. I think if you have a check up once a year, you're not letting it continue on later into life."
Chris feels privileged to have the opportunity to contribute to the health of whole families, particularly when families are growing, with new children arriving. There can be stresses placed on adults and children alike for different reasons, and osteopathy can make a positive contribution to health and wellbeing.
