✨ Baby neck preference & cranial osteopathy ✨
Many babies develop a head or neck preference in their early weeks, often from their position in the womb or after birth. This can look like always turning their head to one side, feeding better on one side, or developing a flat spot.
Cranial osteopathy uses very gentle, hands-on techniques to support your baby’s comfort, mobility, and balance. By easing tension and encouraging freedom of movement, we help babies feel more at ease as they grow and develop 🤍
Every baby is unique, and treatment is always adapted to their needs.

👶✨ Cranial Osteopathy for Babies – Gentle Support from the Very Start ✨👶
Did you know that even the gentlest births can place pressure on a baby’s head and body?
Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on approach used to assess and support a baby’s development. Using light touch, osteopaths feel for subtle tensions or imbalances in the body and help release them, supporting relaxation, comfort, and overall well-being.
Parents often bring their little ones for cranial osteopathy to support issues such as:
💤 Difficulty settling or sleeping
🍼 Feeding or latching concerns
💢 Digestive discomfort (wind, colic, reflux)
🌀 A sense that the baby is unsettled or uncomfortable
Every baby is different, and so is every treatment. This approach is soft, noninvasive, and tailored to your little one’s needs.

👶👶👶 A very special visit to the clinic — I had the joy of treating triplets with cranial osteopathy!
Each little one with their own unique needs, but all are responding beautifully to gentle, supportive care. 💆♀️💫
Cranial osteopathy can help babies with:
✨ Feeding or latching difficulties
✨ Colic or digestive discomfort
✨ Sleep disturbances
✨ Tension from birth (especially in multiple births or C-sections)
It’s always an honour to support families on their journey — and working with multiples like these gorgeous triplets is a reminder of how every baby deserves individual attention and care. 💛
Have questions about how cranial osteopathy can support your baby?

1️⃣2️⃣ weeks old, enjoying cranial osteopathy.
Did you know there are 22 bones in the infant skull which are designed to move over each other to allow for squeezing down the birth canal. After birth, yawning, sucking and crying helps to move the cranial bones back into position and the bones will fuse (become fixed) later over time. Sometimes, however, yawning, sucking and crying may not completely put everything back in place, if perhaps the birth was very traumatic, forceps or ventouse were used. If any of the bones, nerves and muscles are out of line, tense or trapped this could affect the way a baby can use his mouth, jaw and tongue to latch and suckle correctly. He/she may feel uncomfortable and tense.
Infant Osteopathic treatment will help to free any tension and leave your little one feeling more relaxed.

I am a registered Osteopath situated in Deal, Kent. I have structural, functional and cranial experience with a special interest in treating maternity patients, newborns, and children.
For Babies and Children: Osteopathic treatment using the cranial approach is very gentle, safe and effective, even those born prematurely. It is suitable for any age.
Common conditions in children and babies that may be helped by Cranial Osteopathy are:
Crying babies
Colic, sickness, and wind
Feeding difficulties
Sleep disturbances
Recurrent infections; ear infections
Asthma
Sinus and adenoidal problems
Behavior problems
Learning difficulties, and more.
For Pregnancy: Osteopathy is a gentle manual therapy suitable for mothers, during and after pregnancy.
I offer a safe and non-invasive specialist treatment for many pregnancy-related conditions. Most common pregnancy pains are backache & ‘sciatica’, pelvic pain and SPD (pubic/groin pain). Osteopaths are well trained to recognize contra-indications & treatment should be suitable for any healthy & stable pregnancy.
Pre-conception: Osteopathy can help with posture, spinal & pelvic mobility and is useful if you have pre-existing injuries/spinal problems.
During pregnancy: Osteopathy can treat a range of musculoskeletal conditions. It can also help your body prepare by correcting pelvic position & flexibility & promoting pelvic floor integrity.
Postnatal: After birth, you may be prone to strains & sprains. Breastfeeding & carrying a baby also add strain on the body.
Kinesiology taping for pregnancy: Drug free, safe alternative which can help relieve many pregancy symptoms including bck pain, swollen feet, sciatica, carpal tunnel and other aches and pains.
