Children

As children grow, their posture and musculoskeletal system naturally undergo a range of changes. Some children may develop postural patterns such as holding the head to one side, shoulder asymmetry, or changes in spinal alignment, particularly during periods of rapid growth.

During adolescence, increased physical activity, sport, and growth-related changes can place additional demands on the body. Minor strains, joint stiffness, or postural imbalances may occasionally occur and can contribute to discomfort or movement restriction.

Paediatric osteopathy offers a supportive, gentle approach focused on assessing posture, movement, and musculoskeletal balance. Care is tailored to the child or young person’s age, activity level, and individual needs, and is provided alongside appropriate medical, school, or sports guidance where required.

The aim of osteopathic care is to support comfort, movement, and postural awareness as children and adolescents grow.

Paediatric and cranial osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach used to support comfort, movement, and postural balance in infants and children as they grow and develop. At our West London clinic, treatment is always tailored to the child’s age, developmental stage, and individual presentation, following a thorough assessment.

Cranial osteopathy is commonly sought by parents as a supportive approach for issues such as general tension, feeding or settling difficulties, postural asymmetry, and musculoskeletal discomfort. Care is provided alongside routine medical, health-visitor, and paediatric services, and is adapted carefully to ensure comfort and safety.

Our focus is on supporting overall wellbeing and ease of movement, rather than diagnosing or treating medical or developmental conditions

Our toddler was diagnosed with glue ear so we turned to cranial osteopath for treatment. Dr Nillie conducted the treatment and after 2 sessions we noticed a difference. Dr Nillie was very welcoming and professional in her approach and very good with children. Would recommend her for cranial osteopath.
