WHAT AGE GROUPS ARE APPROPRIATE?

Osteopathy is appropriate for any age group, although the approach and treatment style may well be different.

For infants, and the strains and stresses they may have experienced in the womb and during birth, as well as the challenge of the first year of life!

For toddlers and children, and the strains and stresses of growing and passing through developmental milestones - as well as the effects of the inevitable bumps and bruises.

For adolescents, who commonly have a series of growth spurts, sports related and postural problems to contend with.

For young to middle aged adults, who often work extremely hard just at the time when they are losing their youthful vigor!

For elderly people, who have particular problems such as degenerative joint disease and restricted mobility, but who increasingly (and quite rightly) no longer expect to put up with pain and having to abandon sports and hobbies!
