Children

Although the ideal is to treat babies as early as possible, it is never too late to treat!

In fact, treating children's pain, strain, trauma and injuries during childhood helps to prevent them from having recurrent, chronic aches, pains and ailments as they grow older, as well as adults. 

If your child has any of the following they may benefit greatly from treatment.  

• Neck, back or joint pain and / or stiffness
  
• Headaches
  
• Scoliosis
  
• Torticolis 
  
• Jaw pain and / or clicking jaw
  
• Asthma
  
• Difficulty swallowing / speaking
  
• Constipation / Irregular bowel movements
  
• Eye conditions (eg squint )
  
• ADHD 
  
• Learning Disorders
  
• Dyslexia
  
• Sleep Issues
  
• High palate / Narrow mouth / Insufficient space for teeth
  
• Chronic Earache / Sinusitis
  
• Reflux
  
• If your child has been in a car accident, had a bad fall or sports injury
  
• If your child has any old scars from surgery – treatment helps to break down scar tissue
  
• If your child has had a previous concussion
  

In addition, read the section on babies, and if you feel that it describes your child when they were a baby, they may still benefit greatly from treatment now.  It is most likely that their strain from when they were a baby is still there, and treatment will help to release it and prevent it causing further problems later on, or as an adult.

Once again, treatment is gentle and generally not painful.   It can be uncomfortable, similar to stretching a tight muscle, and some children may experience a degree of pain with certain techniques.  This is because in addition to strain / trauma from birth, children have also accumulated further strain and trauma over the years with their numerous falls, bumps, sports injuries etc.
