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.

Pregnancy /

Post Pregnancy

Calling all mamas! Pregnancy and post-birth life bring big changes. Your body adapts. Joints shift. Ligaments soften. Muscles strain. We support women through this journey with gentle, women focused Osteopathy.

Who we help

Expecting mothers. New mums. Women adjusting after childbirth. Anyone experiencing back pain, pelvic discomfort, SPD, sciatica, joint tension or postural strain linked to pregnancy or caring duties.

What we do

We start with listening: your pregnancy history, birth, current discomfort, posture, daily load. Then we assess spine, pelvis and posture gently. Then we treat, using techniques suited to support healing, alignment, relaxation and function.

We may provide hands-on care, plus advice on posture, carrying baby, daily movement, and recovery. Our aim is comfort, balanced posture and restoring mobility.

Why Huddersfield Osteopath?

We focus on women’s health and understand the unique needs of new and expecting mothers. We treat with care, respect, and a holistic view of body and family life.

If you’re pregnant, just given birth, or feeling the strain while caring for a little one, book now. We are here for you.

“I am a new mum and went to Henna whilst suffering with severe SPD and sciatica. I was practically bed ridden and unable to walk a few steps without it feeling and being debilitating and needed crutches. I had to rely on family to look after the baby as I wasn’t able to. I went to see Henna and after my first appointment I felt a huge relief and was walking again something that I had given up hope in. I can’t recommend Yorkshire Osteopathy enough. The NHS physio, I am still waiting for and had it not been for this treatment I would still be bed ridden.”
