Osteopathic Centre for Children: Six month review (September 2025 – February 2026)

In September 2025, the Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC) closed its doors to their pop-up clinics in Warren Street and Shoreditchrelocating to their new home in the London borough of Southwark. Over the past six months, the OCC has embarked on an ambitious new chapter.

  • Our osteopaths are trained in the rigorous specialism of paediatrics

Inside the clinic 

Opting for a welcoming feel, the new clinic has a comfortable reception area with plenty of seating, and a warm, open-plan clinic space for treatment. There is a designated ‘buggy park’ space for pushchairs, and a large bathroom with changing facilities for little ones.

The treatment space has been thoughtfully designed to appeal to children of all ages, including those with complex needs. Features include dimmable low lighting, pretty pastel coloured walls, funky wall art, and plenty of toys!

How to get there 

Situated a stone’s throw away from the iconic London landmark of Tower Bridge, the Osteopathic Centre for Children is tucked away in the tranquility of Brewery Square. Just a 10-minute walk from London Bridge Station (served by rail and London underground Northern & Jubilee lines); it is conveniently served by several local bus routes and has paid parking facilities nearby.

Six months later… 

Since opening their doors September 2025, the Osteopathic Centre for Children steadily increased clinic capacity. The number of clinic days rose from 2 to 4, and the number of qualified osteopaths working at the clinic rose from 17 to 24.

Sherlene Pusey, Managing Director of the Osteopathic Centre for Children, announced: ‘It is with great pleasure to announce that the OCC now has its own clinic space to provide specialist osteopathic care to babies, children, and pre & postnatal mothers. Clinical and Admin teams are now under one roof, encouraging cross-collaboration and improving patient experience. We hope to welcome you at our Southwark clinic and enjoy the new facilities and improved patient care.’

Supporting the Osteopathic Centre for Children 

The OCC receives no government funding and relies on generous donations from its supporters. While treatment is free at the point of need, they employ a ‘donate-what-you-can’ policy, encouraging families to contribute towards the cost of their appointment.  

An initial consultation costs the OCC £100, and follow up treatments cost £50. Any donation that families make towards the cost of their treatment is greatly appreciated by the charity
