BABIES, CHILDREN and TEENS
Gentle care for growing bodies.
From newborn checks to school-bag posture and sporty teens. We'll check how your child is moving and developing, explain everything in plain terms, and only suggest care if it's right for them.

Every stage brings its own changes.

Your child's history, birth, development and anything you've noticed. There's plenty of time, so nothing is rushed.

We look at how your child moves, sits, stands and plays, adapted to their age and stage.
03
What we show
Clear findings

04
NEXT STEPS
Simple Steps
A short plan if care is right, plus easy things to try at home. Referral to your GP if needed.
HOW GENTLE IS IT
Nothing like an
Adult treatment
For babies, we use about as much pressure as you'd use to test a ripe peach. There's no clicking or twisting. Older children get techniques suited to their age and size,
and we explain each step to them as we go.
If something needs a GP or health visitor, we'll tell you and refer you.
STRAIGHT ANSWERS
Questions parents ask us:
Is chiropractic care safe for babies?
Our techniques for babies are very gentle: light fingertip pressure, with no clicking or twisting. We take a full history first, and if anything needs a GP or health visitor, we'll refer you.
What happens at the first appointment?
We talk through your child's history, birth and development, then do a gentle check of how they move. We explain what we find, and treatment only goes ahead if it's appropriate and you're happy.
Will my child need lots of visits?
Usually far fewer than parents expect. We'll be clear about what we recommend and why, and we'll show you simple things to do at home.
Can i stay in the room?
Always. You stay with your child for the whole appointment, and you can feed, cuddle or pause at any time.
My Teenager plays lots of sport - can you help?
Yes. We check how they move, look at training load and posture, and give them practical advice to help them keep playing the sports they love.
