Osteopathy for Children

After birth, there is still much growth and development yet to occur.

This is a time when children learn to crawl, walk, run and communicate and are keen to explore their environment and to interact socially. It is desirable to monitor the progress of these early developmental milestones and to address the effects of any major physical mishaps or developmental lag to prevent problems developing in future.

Osteopathy is concerned with the arrangement of the body’s parts and their movements.

The osteopath’s task is to understand what has gone wrong and why, and to use their hands to help the body overcome its malfunction. Mechanical disorders can significantly affect the functioning of all body systems, not just in the case of spinal and limb pains.

Edward Buckwald, our Principal Osteopath, has personally treated over 3,000 newborns and babies, as well as toddlers and older children, using a variety of osteopathic techniques.

The osteopaths at the Abbots Langley Clinic are highly qualified to identify dysfunctions and assist your little ones in finding a healthier balance and greater happiness. In every case, our goal is to enable each child to reach their full potential, regardless of their condition.
