At UPANDRUNNING we can address conditions such as tongue tie to alleviate difficulty with breastfeeding and other feeding issues. Our trained Osteopath uses gentle techniques to release the tightness in the tongue and surrounding muscles, helping your baby to breastfeed more easily and comfortably. Many babies experience gastroesophageal reflux, or infant reflux, which can also cause discomfort and difficulty with feeding. Our osteopaths use a variety of techniques to help your baby’s digestive system function more smoothly and reduce reflux symptoms.
We also treat a range of common musculoskeletal issues that can affect infants. Torticollis is a condition where a baby’s neck muscles become tight or shortened, causing the head to tilt to one side. This can cause discomfort, affect movement and mobility, and impact overall development. Our osteopaths are trained to provide gentle and effective treatment for torticollis in babies, helping to relieve tension and discomfort and restore balance and mobility.
Plagiocephaly, or flat head syndrome, is a condition where a baby's skull becomes flattened on one side,
typically due to prolonged time spent lying on their back. Our osteopaths can provide a range of
techniques to help improve the symmetry of your baby’s head shape, including cranial osteopathy, myofascial release, and positional retraining.
Developmental Dysplasia of the Hip (DDH) is a condition where the hip joint doesn’t develop quite as it needs to, leading to instability and potential dislocation. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for successful management of DDH. Our osteopaths can work with you and your pediatrician to monitor your baby’s hip development and provide treatment if necessary.
At UPANDRUNNING we specialize in gentle, non- invasive osteopathic care for children. We understand that childhood is a time of rapid growth and development, and that your child’s health and wellbeing are of the utmost importance. That’s why we offer safe and effective osteopathic treatment for a wide range of pediatric conditions, including musculoskeletal disorders, posture problems, sports injuries, and more. We use a range of osteopathic techniques, including cranial osteopathy, myofascial release, and joint mobilization, to help your child’s body restore balance, function, and mobility.
