Our mission

Our vision remains unchanged: we advocate for specialist paediatric osteopathy to help manage childhood health. In addition to providing osteopathic treatment on a "donate-what-you-can" basis, we also train highly skilled osteopaths in the rigorous specialism of paediatrics and conduct research into the benefits of osteopathy.

What is paediatric osteopathy?

Paediatric osteopathy focuses on using gentle techniques for treating babies, children, teenagers, and perinatal mothers. Our osteopaths take a holistic approach, looking beyond specific conditions to support overall health and wellbeing. Rather than relying on a single method, we use a range of carefully chosen techniques that are safe and suitable for young patients. Treatments are very gentle, yet highly effective.

I feel great about bringing [my daughter], as there's something about the OCC that makes me feel confident that people here want to do something good and care about the patients.

Who we treat

We deliver specialist paediatric osteopathy through our clinic to babies, children, teens (up to 18 years of age), as well as pregnant and post-natal women (up to 6 treatments). While we do not charge for our appointments, we encourage families to donate what they can towards the cost of treatment.
