Paediatric Osteopathy Ireland

Treatment method used is cranial osteopathy-an effective treatment for many problems which is very gentle and non manipulative. It can be used for all ages from newborns to the elderly.

 The Osteopath’s job is to ‘set’ the body up in order to heal itself. To restore this normal function, the Osteopath gently applies a precise amount of force to promote movement of the bodily fluids, eliminate dysfunction in the motion of the tissues, and release compressed bones and joints. This treatment modality can be used to safely and effectively treat infants, babies, children and adults.

Consultation is for 1 hour and costs €80.00. Discount is available for those working for Google and Telefonica.
