What does Huddersfield Osteopath specialise in?

Huddersfield Osteopath focuses on gentle, evidence-based osteopathic care for babies, children, pregnancy and women, including support for colic, reflux, feeding difficulties, side preference and common aches and pains.

Is cranial osteopathy safe for newborns and babies?

Cranial osteopathy uses light, comfortable techniques that are suitable for babies and newborns. Appointments include a full case history and assessment, and treatment is always adjusted to each baby’s needs.

What baby issues do you commonly see in clinic?

Parents often bring babies with crying and unsettled behaviour, possible colic or reflux, feeding difficulties, tongue tie aftercare, side preference, stiffness or a sense that their baby does not seem comfortable in their body.

Do I need a GP referral to book an appointment?

You can usually book directly without a GP referral. If anything in your history suggests that medical review is needed, you will be advised to contact your GP, midwife or health visitor.

How long is an appointment?

Appointment length can vary, but new baby and pregnancy appointments typically allow enough time for a full case history, assessment, discussion and gentle hands-on treatment, as well as time for questions.

Where is the clinic and is there parking?

Huddersfield Osteopath is based at 109 Bradford Road, Huddersfield, HD1 6DZ. Information about access and nearby parking is provided in your booking confirmation and can be checked before your visit.

Colic, Reflux & Infant Discomfort

Many babies cry, struggle to settle, or seem uncomfortable. Sometimes feeding or winding doesn’t help. We offer gentle osteopathic care to support babies’ comfort and ease stress.

How we help

We don’t claim to cure medical issues. We listen, observe, and gently assess baby’s posture, spine, head and feeding patterns. We use soft osteopathic techniques that aim to release tension, support gentle alignment and promote comfort.

We may also offer advice on feeding positions, winding, and holding. Sometimes small adjustments can support your baby’s system as it adapts in early weeks.

What to expect

A calm, unhurried consultation. A gentle treatment using cranial Osteopathy suited for babies. Parenting support: feeding, winding and settling tips. Care with sensitivity and newborn safety in mind.

If you feel your baby is unsettled, crying excessively, has digestive discomfort or trouble settling, contact us. We treat babies from Huddersfield and nearby areas.
