Treating, Supporting & educating families for over a decade

Treatment for all

Emily works with infants, toddlers and preschoolers who have no injury or condition, as well as babies and children with long term health conditions, physical disabilities, growth and movement issues.

How We Look at the problem

Emily examines movement, growth and development issues in newborns, infants, toddlers and preschool children. An assessment may involve screening a baby or child to review progress in meeting movement, coordination, activity and musculoskeletal developmental milestones expected by an age or stage.

Osteopathy For Babies & Children

We offer a range of clinical services to manage conditions or issues, including developmentally appropriate manual therapy treatments and education and advice on activities for maintaining or growing physical skills.

This may include advice on use of certain toys or equipment for movement and other skills needed in daily activities, and education for families on how to position or assist a child with musculoskeletal development milestones.

We Work With Other Professionals

To ensure you and your child get the best care, we work in association with other health professionals, including medical practitioners, paediatricians, maternal and child health nurses, occupational therapists, speech pathologists, and psychologists. This may include a referral to other health professionals in helping support children and their families.
