Pregnancy, babies and children
Here at the Fairbourne Clinic, we have a wide range of therapeutic
skills ranging from Homoeopathy, Osteopathy and Baby Massage,
and knowledge that can help and support you from conception,
through birth and into childhood.
You or your child, don't have to have an illness or problem
to benefit from our services; we can help ease all the stages
as well as prevent many of the common illnesses associated
with childhood.
Osteopathy, Cranial Osteopathy, and homoeopathy can all help
with any mechanical, constitutional and hormonal impediments
to conception.
Long term difficulty conceiving can be very stressful, or
have emotional causes. Many of the therapies here are deeply
relaxing and can work at psychological and emotional levels.
Try Indian Head Massage, Full Body Massage, Reflexology and
Reiki.
Many women find that although conceiving is not a problem,
for a number of reasons spontaneous miscarriage is the regrettable
result. Cranial Osteopathy and homoeopathy are particularly
helpful in trying to stablise pregnancy.
Throughout pregnancy many distressing conditions such as
back pain and morning sickness in particular can be effectively
kept under control without recourse to drugs. See your Homoeopath
or Osteopath. Homoeopathy can also help support healthy pregnancies
by increasing elasticity in tissues, helping bone & nerve
growth and treating strong inherited problems. Nutritional
help is also advised. Manual Lymphatic drainage can help with
fluid retention.
The best time to prepare for birth is throughout pregnancy,
rather than at the last minute. Fit, healthy mothers tend
to give birth more easily. Of particular importance is good
low back and pelvis function for which Osteopathy is ideal.
Relaxation exercises play an important role in preparation
for birth at later stages. Homoeopathy prepares the elasticity
of the tissues for birth. We also give special remedy advice
for different problems that occur during birth. A special
birth kit of Remedies is given for the birth itself.
The New Baby
It's never too early to have your new baby looked at by a
Cranial Osteopath; especially if the labour was long, difficult
or traumatic. There is a high incidence of problems caused
by forceps or vantouse delivery, many of which are preventable
by early treatment. Homoeopathy can help treat the emotional
shock of birth as well as physical problems that the baby
may have been born with.
Don't forget that Labour was far from easy for Mum, and that
Osteopathic and Homoeopathic treatment can help in the healing
after. Also Reflexology, Indian Head Massage and Full Body
Massage and Reiki are great for helping to relax you.
Babies receiving regular baby massage, bond better with their
parents, settle quicker and have generally fewer problems.
Homoeopathy is good for treating problems around breast feeding
such as poor milk supply, tender breasts and mastitis. Dietary
advice is also given to the new Mum and for weaning the baby.
Common Conditions
Head Moulding due to a variety of reasons related to birth
are common, and not serious as virtually all spontaneously
resolve. However, if you are worried about your baby's head
shape, contact your Cranial Osteopath.
This very common condition can have numerous causes, but
a traumatic birth is probably the commonest. Cranial Osteopathy
often works well but in more obstinate cases, Homoeopathy
is also highly effective. A baby receiving regular baby massage
is also less likely to suffer.
This is a common problem with many potential causes. Cranial
Osteopathy, Homoeopathy and baby massage are all ways of helping.
Another common condition often leading to perforated eardrums
if not treated. Cranial Osteopathy and Homoeopathy in combination,
are the best way of treating this.
Many other conditions affecting babies and children are treatable
by one or more therapies we offer. If you are interested,
telephone us and ask to speak to one of the Therapists.
Remember also that natural alternatives to vaccination are
available
