Looking after your babies and children
The birth process is a wondrous but often traumatic process for both the mother and the baby.
This can lead to functional tightness in the connective tissue of the baby as it tries to adapt to the outside world. If not addressed there is some evidence that this can lead to common problems in baby’s and infants, such as:
Altered sleep patterns
Colic
Irritability
Constipation
Feeding difficulties
As children develop there is often an increased strain placed on the muscle and skeleton system. This is even more pronounced if the child is active or sporty or when children go through growth spurts.
Scoliosis
Growing pains
Osgood-Schlatters
Sever’s

Looking after your sporting goals

This may be due to starting a new walking regime or increasing your training program for a triathlon. To achieve our sporting goals it is often necessary to walk the tight rope between physical progression and physical breakdown.
