Osteopathy

Osteopathy can help ease pain, repair injuries, and restore the overall well-being of the body and its systems. 

It sees your body as a cohesive unit working together in harmony.

By seeing the body from this view, your osteopath can focus on your symptoms, the causes of the symptoms, and how all of these affects your health.

• Back pain

• Pregnant women
• Migraine
• Head trauma
• Whiplash
• Muscle strains
• Menstrual pain

Kids Osteopathy

Newborn babies

Mothers and babies can both suffer a great deal during delivery.

Back pain and stiff necks are common after giving birth, whether it is from the birth itself, from labour or from the position the baby was in during pregnancy. 

As a result, your baby may not breastfeed, sleep, lay comfortably on their side, or tolerate a carrier or car seat.

Southside Wellbeing can help newborns and infants with:

• Tension
• Strains
• Restriction of movement occurring in bones, muscles, tendons, or nerves
• Digestion and reflux problems
• Constipation
• Excessive wind
• Sleeping problems
• Asymmetrical development (motor skills and movement)

Children’s Osteopathy

As children grow up quickly, their bodies have different demands than adults. 

There are many ways in which neck, back, and head pain and tension can manifest themselves in children that parents may not be aware of at first. 

They may be fidgety, lack attention, experience learning difficulties, or are accident-prone.

Southside Wellbeing uses gentle osteopathic manipulation on kids to address:

• Back and neck pain
• Lower limb pain
• Ear infections
• Growing pains 
• Headaches and migraines
• Scoliosis 
• Postural problems
• Difficulty sleeping
• Walking and running difficulty or pain
• Sports injury prevention and recovery

Cranial Osteopathy

Cranial Osteopathy includes not only the head but the entire body. It helps to release strain and tension, improve function, and stimulate circulation. 

The pain relief it provides is deep and long-lasting but is completely non-invasive, therefore it is suitable for newborns, adults, pregnant women and people with severe pain.
