Gentle Newborn Osteopathy in Clapham: Expert Care for Your Baby

Babies can’t tell us what’s wrong, but their bodies often show subtle signs that an expert can recognise. At Nordic Balance osteopathy clinic in Clapham, our experienced osteopath specialises in identifying and addressing a wide range of infant health concerns.

With years of collaboration alongside lactation consultants and midwives, they provide gentle, non-invasive assessments that evaluate your baby’s muscles, joints, bones, primitive reflexes, and overall bodily systems. If needed, they can also assess for tongue tie, a condition that may impact feeding. These evaluations are intuitive and holistic, using no chemicals or distressing equipment, ensuring your baby remains calm and comfortable throughout. At the end of the session, you’ll receive clear advice on whether further treatment is needed. If so, our osteopath will work with you to create a personalised plan, offering support and guidance every step of the way.

Our Clapham-based osteopaths provide tailored care, with the added benefit of our multidisciplinary team’s expertise, offering comprehensive advice for your family’s needs. A newborn check-up costs £110 and lasts up to one hour. Call 0208 922 0495 to book today.

Ensuring Optimal Health and Development of Your Newborn

What is osteopathy, and how can it help my baby?
Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on therapy that works with your baby’s natural rhythms to ease discomfort and support their well-being. It’s especially helpful for newborns and infants facing colic, reflux, feeding challenges, or restlessness, as it restores balance and helps your baby feel settled.

Is osteopathy safe for newborns?
Yes, osteopathy for newborns is completely safe. Our osteopaths use non-invasive techniques tailored to delicate infant bodies, ensuring a calm and comfortable experience without chemicals or distressing equipment.

What conditions can cranial osteopathy help with?
Cranial osteopathy is effective for babies experiencing colic, reflux, breastfeeding challenges, sleep difficulties, or restlessness. It gently releases tension and restores balance, making it especially beneficial after a challenging birth.

When should I bring my baby to see an osteopath?
Parents often seek osteopathy for feeding difficulties, colic, reflux, or restlessness. A visit can also help after a difficult birth or as a preventive measure to identify and address potential issues early.

Do I need a referral from a doctor or midwife?
You do not need a referral to see our osteopaths. However, many parents are referred by midwives, health visitors, or lactation consultants when seeking additional support for their baby’s health. Our team is happy to work with you directly or in collaboration with other healthcare providers.

What can I expect during a session?
A thorough assessment of your baby's muscles, joints, bones, and reflexes. If needed, the osteopath may check for conditions like tongue tie. Using gentle, intuitive techniques, the osteopath ensures your baby feels at ease. You’ll receive clear advice on whether further treatment is needed, along with a tailored plan if required.
