Our Osteopathic Services
Pediatric Osteopathy
Gentle hands on treatment to support your baby’s transition into the world.
Offering physical support post birth, through developmental changes and unexpected moments via bodywork, mobility, soft tissue & fascial release and craniosacral therapy.
Baby’s are held beautifully and firmly in the womb, preparing them for birth. This process, in combination with birth, may lead to tension and strain patterns through your baby’s body.
When there is tension sustained within a baby’s body there may be discomfort and a general sense of being unsettled. This may present as feeding difficulties, wind, reflux, favouring specific body positions and more.
Osteopathy offers guidance and support through gentle techniques to help release tension in the body, support effective feeding and development.
Osteopathic bodywork can be a supportive measure for babies who have oral ties, whether you choose to have them released or not. Osteopathy can offer support as one measure of care (often a multidisciplinary approach is needed) to tend to a baby’s system to help decrease the potential for sustained restriction, possible feeding challenges and discomfort.
If you have any questions about Osteopathy for your baby, please don’t hesitate to email Dr Brigid Sandell (Osteopath) at inditatosteopathyandwell@gmail.com

Mums & Bubs Appointments
Mum’s too often care for everyone but themselves and at Indita Osteopathy and Wellness we deeply believe in caring for mother’s as the nucleus of the family.
The process of pregnancy, birth and postpartum is monumental physically, emotionally and mentally which can too often leave us loved up but depleted.
Our Mums & Bub’s sessions are designed to care for you as the core unit of the family’s nervous system (we all know if bub is upset, the whole family feels it and if Mum is struggling, the whole family can feel low on nurturing).
It’s an offering that we have made accessible to every Mum where she is cared for physically (and therefore mentally and emotionally) so she can feel comfortable, pain free and confident in her capacity to strengthen as bub grows.
These appointments offer 45min treatment to bub and 45 mins treatment to Mum. This way it’s one visit and everyone is tended to without needing to venture out, navigate feeding times or sleep times, babysitters etc.
