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.

What parents say

These comments are based on real Google reviews from families who’ve brought their babies for treatment.

“We were advised to see Henna after our baby’s tongue tie was diagnosed. She was so kind and gentle, took time to listen, and we noticed a real improvement in comfort and feeding after sessions.”

“Our two-week-old was in constant discomfort, arching and struggling with feeds. Henna explained everything clearly and treated her so patiently. Over the next visits she became more relaxed and feeding felt easier.”

Parent of a 2-week-old baby

“We brought our little boy after his tongue tie release to help with neck and jaw tension. The difference was obvious, he could open his mouth more easily and move his tongue freely. Henna was amazing with him.”
