Frequently Asked Questions

We understand you may have questions about bringing your precious little one for treatment. Here are answers to the most common questions we receive from parents.

  • Babies can be treated from birth onwards. In fact, many parents bring their newborns for treatment within the first few weeks of life to address any effects from the birth process. The earlier we can address any issues, the better the outcomes tend to be.

  • Yes, osteopathy is very safe for babies when performed by a qualified practitioner with specialized pediatric training. Our techniques are extremely gentle - often described as 'no more pressure than you would use to test the ripeness of a tomato.' We use specialized approaches designed specifically for the delicate structures of infants.

  • This varies depending on your baby's specific needs and condition. Some babies show improvement after just one session, while others may benefit from 3-5 sessions. We'll discuss a treatment plan after the initial assessment and adjust as needed based on your baby's response.

  • Please bring your baby's feeding supplies, a favorite blanket or comfort item, and any relevant medical records or birth notes. We recommend feeding your baby about 30 minutes before the appointment so they're comfortable but not too full. Wear comfortable clothes that allow easy access for feeding if needed.

  • Most babies find our gentle techniques very relaxing and often fall asleep during treatment. If your baby becomes unsettled, we'll pause to allow feeding or comforting as needed. We work at your baby's pace and never force treatment if they're distressed.

  • Many extended health plans cover osteopathy treatments. We can provide you with a receipt for insurance submission. We recommend checking with your insurance provider about coverage for osteopathic treatment for infants before your appointment.

  • Common signs include difficulty feeding or latching, excessive crying or colic, sleep problems, preference for one side when turning their head, or unusual body positioning. However, even if your baby seems fine, a gentle assessment can help ensure optimal development and catch any minor issues early.

  • Absolutely! We encourage parents to stay with their baby throughout the entire session. You'll be able to hold, comfort, and feed your baby as needed. We also use this time to teach you gentle techniques you can use at home to support your baby's ongoing health.
