“My 3 week old baby was only pooping every 2-3 days and was generally fussy and uncomfortable. After one treatment with Carrie, he started pooping 2x/day and is now a much happier content little guy.”

Infant Osteopathy in Edmonton, Alberta

 

Gentle Care for Your Baby’s Health and Happiness

Expert Paediatric Osteopathy in Edmonton and Craniosacral Therapy in Edmonton. Specialized care for babies experiencing feeding challenges, colic, or tension. 

Why Choose Infant Osteopathy for Your Baby?

Birth is a significant event, and even smooth deliveries can cause stress on a baby’s delicate body. Whether from positioning in the womb, long labors, or medical interventions, babies may experience tension, discomfort, or imbalances that impact their health and well-being.

At Baby Osteo, we specialize in infant osteopathy and craniosacral therapy, offering gentle, hands-on care to address these issues. Our treatments help release tension, support the nervous system, and allow your baby to thrive naturally.

 

What is Infant Osteopathy and Craniosacral Therapy?

Infant osteopathy is a holistic, non-invasive therapy that uses gentle touch to support your baby’s natural ability to heal. Through craniosacral therapy, we focus on releasing tension in the head, spine, and other areas affected by the birthing process.

Babies often experience subtle imbalances caused by birth-related forces. Using gentle techniques, I help your baby’s body restore balance and promote healthy development. Combining craniosacral therapy with visceral and fascial techniques, my approach provides comprehensive care tailored to your baby’s unique needs.

 

Signs Your Baby Could Benefit from Osteopathy

Not sure if your baby needs infant osteopathy or craniosacral therapy? Here are some common signs:

  • Difficulty feeding from breast or bottle
  • Preferring one breast over the other
  • Turning their head predominantly to one side
  • Head or facial asymmetry
  • Constipation (less than five bowel movements per week)
  • Fussiness or discomfort without a clear cause
  • Colic or prolonged crying spells
  • Trouble sleeping or restlessness
  • Tension from oral restrictions such as tongue-tie
  • Body stiffness or an inability to stretch out fully

If your baby is showing any of these signs, an evaluation with a skilled baby osteopathy practitioner can help uncover the root cause and offer relief.

 

Benefits of Baby Osteopathy and Craniosacral Therapy

Gentle osteopathic care can provide a range of benefits for babies, including:

  • Improved feeding and latch
  • Relief from colic and digestive discomfort
  • Easing acid reflux and constipation
  • Support for better sleep
  • Alleviation of tension caused by tongue-tie
  • Reduced fussiness and improved overall comfort

Parents often report that babies who receive Edmonton osteopathy care are happier, more relaxed, and sleep better. These therapies not only address immediate concerns but also support long-term health and development.

 

How to Choose an Infant Osteopath

Finding the right infant osteopathy practitioner is an important step in your baby’s wellness journey. Here are key factors to consider when choosing an infant osteopath:

  1. Specialization in Infant Care: Look for someone with dedicated training and experience in working with babies.
  2. Extensive Training: Ensure the practitioner has completed advanced coursework in areas like craniosacral therapy, feeding, tongue tie, and pediatric osteopathy.
  3. Extra Insurance Coverage: A professional carrying additional insurance for pediatric treatments demonstrates commitment to safety and expertise.
  4. Comfort with Infants: Choose someone who genuinely enjoys and feels confident working with babies.
