A consultation with an Osteopath who has a focus on Paediatrics may help to identify any musculoskeletal factors that are contributing to your child's symptoms. In Australia, there are no "Specialisations" in Osteopathy.
It can be said, however, that our Osteopath Lauren has dedicated much time and study into learning about the world of Paediatric Osteopathy, as she feels this is the natural progression from her other great love, which is treating pregnant women.To begin, we will take a thorough history, including details about the mother's pregnancy and delivery if the patient is still quite young.

I have been seeing Lauren for a couple months now for my upper and lower back pain and have experienced nothing but excellent care. Within only a few sessions she was able to dramatically reduce the long-term pain I had been experiencing. I felt comfortable immediately to discuss any issues or concerns I was experiencing with her and genuinely felt that her number one priority was my health now and for the future, which is rare. The clinic is beautiful, modern and warm and from the moment i walked in was treated like a valued client. I would highly recommend.

I’d never been to an osteopath before and after a couple of treatments from Lauren, I don’t know what took me so long! As someone recovering from the aches and pains associated with new motherhood, Lauren was able to draw on personal and professional expertise in this area to recommend exercises to follow up the excellent treatment in the modern clinic. There are child-friendly spaces too!

I have known Jason for a number of years. Trust is incredibly important when seeking support from a medical practitioner. I had developed some slight lower back pain at times which I initially did nothing about. On one evening, I felt more discomfort and within 24 hours I was bed ridden unable to walk. It was the worst pain I’ve experienced in my life. I saw Jason and found him to be very thorough upon his initial assessment. He indicated that it could take considerable time to fully heal. Apart from ongoing treatment Jason provided me with exercises to strengthen my back. Three months after

I went to see Lauren at Lifespan Osteopathy to see if she could help with lower back pain I developed during pregnancy. Not only did she help relieve the pain so I could get on with life but helped with so many other niggles too! Swollen ankles and sore feet improved greatly and she really helped relieve tightness throughout my body I was not even aware I had. Lauren is a lovely lady and visits to her clinic feel like a real treat; I highly recommend her.
