Cranial Osteopathy for Babies in Camberley
As a parent, you want the very best for your baby. I understand how worrying it can be when your little one seems unsettled, uncomfortable, or has trouble feeding or sleeping. As an experienced osteopath with years of helping babies feel more relaxed I offer gentle, supportive osteopathic care designed specifically for babies in Camberley and the surrounding areas.
What is Cranial Osteopathy for Babies?
Cranial osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive form of osteopathic treatment for babies and newborns. Using precise, light touch, I identify and help release areas of tension or restriction in your baby’s body. Even small imbalances can affect comfort, sleep, feeding, and wellbeing. My techniques are safe, soothing, and tailored to each baby’s needs.

Many parents bring their babies to me for:
-
Feeding or latching difficulties
-
Unsettled sleep or excessive crying
-
Digestive discomfort (colic, reflux, wind)
-
Tension after a difficult or assisted birth (ventouse/forceps)
-
Flat head syndrome, plagiocephaly, brachycephaly
-
Neck tension or preference for one side
-
Post tongue tie release

Asymmetric movement

Discomfort during movement or handling
Every baby is unique, so I always tailor my approach. My aim is to help your baby feel more comfortable, support their development, and give you reassurance and practical advice.
What Happens During a Cranial Osteopathy Session?
Appointments are calm and unhurried. I start by listening to your concerns and taking a full history, including your pregnancy, birth history, your babies symptoms and any concerns you have. I gently assess your baby’s movement, posture, and areas of tension using light touch. Treatment is very gentle—most babies find it relaxing, and many sleep during the session. I always explain what I’m doing and answer your questions so you feel informed and involved. There is plenty of time for your baby to be fed and changed. The sessions are taken at you and your babies pace with both your wellbeing’s at the heart of each session.
Is Cranial Osteopathy Safe for Babies?
Absolutely. Cranial osteopathy is safe for babies when performed by a qualified practitioner. I have training in paediatric and cranial osteopathy, and years of experience working with infants and families. Your baby’s comfort and safety are always my top priorities.
How many sessions will my baby need?
The number of sessions depends on your baby’s individual needs and the reason for treatment. Some babies improve after just a couple of sessions, while others may benefit from a short course of treatment. I’ll always discuss my recommendations with you and review your baby’s progress together.
