Osteopathy for newborn babies
Free check up for newborn babies within the first 3 weeks
A newborn check offers an opportunity to bring your new baby in to the practice as soon as you feel able, for an examination, and gentle cranial treatment.
By releasing any strains from pregnancy and birth early on, we can help to reduce the chances of your baby becoming unsettled and fractious later.
Sometimes, a single treatment will be enough to do this, and we will not recommend further treatment.
If it seems that your baby would benefit from more treatment, we will let you know, and you can choose whether to book another session. The sooner an osteopath is able to diagnose and treat your baby, the easier it is for the balance within the child to be restored. With this in mind, we offer this as a free appointment to babies under three weeks old.
Whilst there is no charge for your baby's newborn check, we do invite you to kindly consider making a donation to the Special Care Baby Unit (SCBU) at Jessops, to support some of the babies who may take a little longer than three weeks to make their first journey home. You can do this at the Practice, by cash, cheque or card, and any amount is very gratefully received - every penny will be passed on.
With a new baby in the house, it can be easy to over look your own needs. Take a look at our special post-natal treatment >
