Paediatric Osteopathy Home Visits in Leicester – Gentle Support for Your Newborn

At The Health Suite Leicester, we offer a specialist Paediatric Osteopathy Home Visiting Service for newborns and babies up to 3 months old. Our qualified paediatric osteopaths provide gentle, individualised treatment in the comfort and safety of your home, helping support your baby’s early development, ease discomfort, and promote healthy growth. This service is ideal for families who find it difficult to travel shortly after birth, prefer a calm home environment for their baby, or simply value the ease and reassurance of expert care brought directly to them.

During your home visit, our experienced osteopaths carry out a thorough assessment of your baby, apply safe and gentle hands-on techniques, and offer tailored guidance for feeding positions, soothing methods, posture support, and overall well-being.

Combined Mother & Baby Osteopathy Check

We understand that birth can place physical demands on both mother and baby. For this reason, our consultant osteopath offers the option of a combined mother and newborn assessment during the same home visit.

This gentle, holistic approach allows us to support:

  • Postnatal aches, tension or discomfort in mothers
  • Feeding positions that affect both mother and baby
  • Baby’s comfort, posture and settling
  • Early bonding and well-being through shared guidance

Our consultant osteopath tailors care for both of you, helping support your recovery and your baby’s comfort in the same convenient appointment.

Why Choose Home Visits for Paediatric Osteopathy?

Home visits allow your baby to be treated in a familiar, relaxed environment, supporting a calmer experience and more effective care. Being in your own home means:

  • No travel stress for parents or baby
  • A peaceful setting that supports feeding and comfort
  • Immediate advice based on your baby’s real environment
  • A personalised approach that considers your baby’s routine

Common Newborn Concerns We Support

Paediatric osteopathy at home can be helpful for:

  • Discomfort or unsettled behaviour linked to birth tension
  • Feeding or latching difficulties related to posture or tension
  • Irritability, poor sleep, or difficulty settling
  • Digestive discomfort (wind, reflux tendencies, colic-type symptoms)
  • Head turning preference or early postural concerns

(Osteopathy does not replace medical care. We always advise parents to contact their GP or health visitor if a medical assessment is required.)

FAQ

Common Q&A about Paediatric Osteopathy Home Visits

Our FAQ section is designed to address common questions you may have, from how our treatments work to what you can expect during and after your session.

Our team is always available to provide additional support if you need more personalised guidance, ensuring that you feel informed and confident every step of the way.

Yes. Paediatric osteopathy uses extremely gentle, light-touch techniques suitable for newborn bodies. No forceful manipulation is ever used.

Your baby can be assessed from birth onward. Many families choose to book within the first few weeks, but we support babies up to 3 months old.

Our osteopath will assess your baby gently through touch and observation. If you book a combined appointment, a postnatal check will also be performed for the mother. Treatment and advice are then given for comfort and well-being.

A baby-only appointment usually lasts 45–60 minutes, while a combined mother & baby visit lasts 60–90 minutes, allowing time for feeding breaks, nappy changes, and settling.

Just a comfortable space for you and your baby. Your osteopath will guide you if anything else is needed, such as feeding pillows or advice on safe sleep positioning.

No. Osteopathy can support comfort and function, but it does not replace GP, midwife or health visitor care. If a medical concern is identified, we will advise you to contact your healthcare provider.

Yes. Parents and caregivers are welcome to be present throughout the assessment and treatment. This often helps babies feel more relaxed and supported.

Paediatric osteopathy is very gentle. Some babies may fuss briefly due to tiredness, hunger, or being handled, but the techniques themselves are not painful or forceful.

Home visits offer convenience and comfort, especially for those with mobility issues or busy schedules. We also provide a personalised approach to care and can be more flexible in addressing individual needs.

Every baby is different. Some respond after one session, while others benefit from a short course of treatment. Your osteopath will guide you based on your baby’s needs and presentation.
