Fundraise for us!

We offer parents the opportunity to have their baby assessed and treated by a registered osteopath

We are dedicated to providing a free osteopathic service for babies whose families would not otherwise be able to afford it. The service is for babies up to 3 months old who are distressed or having difficulty sleeping. From experience, Osteopaths and Health visitors believe that early osteopathic intervention can significantly help some babies in the first weeks of life.

Why the community needs us

Baby Check aims to benefit the individual babies concerned and their immediate family and to communicate with other health professionals involved with the care of babies.... principally, Health visitors, Midwifes, Lactation Consultants ,GP's and Paediatricians. We offer clinic placements for trainee Health visitors, Midwives and Osteopaths to help further their understanding of what osteopathy can offer to babies.

Our impact on the community

We currently treat 20 babies per week in a half day session. Parents are signposted to the clinic by Health visitors, Midwifes, and Lactation Consultants. Parents are given a service evaluation questionnaire to complete at the end of the course of treatment, These are assessed annually. Initial findings suggest that 100% of parents would recommend the service to other families
