🌿 “The natural force within each of us is the greatest force in getting well.” — Hippocrates

At the heart of osteopathy lies this truth — your body holds its own healing intelligence.
Our role isn’t to fix you, but to listen, support, and clear the way so that your system can do what it was designed to do — find balance, repair, and thrive. 💫

Tummy time isn’t just for “strong backs” — it helps your baby learn how to move their body independently of their head!

✨ At first, when babies lift their head, their arms and legs often move at the same time.
✨ Tummy time helps them dissociate these movements, gaining independent control of limbs and trunk.

Other tummy time benefits:
💛 Builds neck, shoulder, and core strength
💛 Encourages rolling, reaching, and early coordination
💛 Supports head control and trunk stability

How to make tummy time fun:
👶 Short, frequent sessions on a firm, safe surface
🫶 Face-to-face play and toys to encourage lifting and turning
💛 Side-lying and lap-supported play for variation

If your baby struggles with head lifting, turning, or independent limb movement, it’s a good idea to book a gentle check.

🌿 Play, explore, and strengthen — every little movement counts!

🚗💥 Even a small car accident can leave big ripples in the body.
You might feel fine at first — but weeks or months later, headaches, neck pain, or fatigue can appear as your system tries to rebalance itself.

Osteopathy may help by gently releasing the tension patterns your body created in that moment of impact — supporting recovery through the fascia, spine, and nervous system. 🌿

Each person’s story is different, and so is their healing journey.
We listen, we feel, and we help your body find its way back to ease. 💫

Learning to sit isn’t about being propped up — it’s about discovering how to move in and out of sitting with control and confidence 💫

In this video, I’m helping baby learn to place both hands down beside their legs, helping them cross their midline. From there, we practice rolling down safely onto their back, building the coordination and strength that make sitting feel easy and secure 🌿

Over time, babies also learn to roll to their side and pull forward into sitting, rather than flipping onto their tummy. These movements are all part of developing the core control, balance, and body awareness that set the foundation for every later milestone 👶✨

Healing unfolds in its own time — but often, it just needs the right opportunity 🌿
Gentle osteopathic care helps create the conditions for your body to do what it’s designed to do: restore balance, flow, and function. ✨

Your baby’s first big jobs?
Learning to lift, balance and hold themselves steady. 💪

✨ By about 3 months, their head should be fairly steady when held upright — that’s called head righting.
✨ Around the same time, their trunk muscles begin switching on so they can sit up with your support.

Here are some ways to help them practise:
👶 Hold baby upright on your shoulder — it strengthens neck and core muscles
🌿 Gentle back strokes while they sit on your lap encourage postural activation
💛 Mix up positions — tummy time, side-lying and upright all help different systems

If your baby’s head still wobbles a lot when upright, or they stay very hunched when sitting on your lap at around 3 months, it’s a good idea to have them checked.
Gentle osteopathic care can help support comfort, coordination and balanced development.

Your caesarean scar is part of a much bigger story 💫

The way you stand, move, and breathe all influence how your scar heals and remodels.

When nearby areas — hips, ribs, pelvis, or even old injuries — aren’t moving freely, that tension transfers through the fascia to the scar. The body lays down extra collagen to “strengthen” the area… but the result is often a thicker, tighter scar that tugs and limits motion.

At Brisbane Osteopathic Centre, we look at the whole picture: posture, movement, breathing and scar mobility — helping your body recover in harmony, not in isolation 💕

Helping your baby learn to crawl isn’t about forcing the movement — it’s about guiding their body to feel what coordinated motion feels like. 👐✨
By gently supporting them in the all-fours position and moving through the crawling pattern, we help their nervous system connect the dots — building strength, coordination, and confidence to move on their own. 💪🧠

Does your little one walk on their tiptoes? 👣
It’s adorable at first — but sometimes it’s a clue their body is working a bit harder to find its balance 💫

Tiptoe walking can be linked to:
🦶 Tight calves or feet
🧠 Retained reflexes (like the foot tendon guard or spinal Galant)
🎢 An underdeveloped balance system
🫧 Sensory sensitivities
🦴 Pelvic or spinal tension

When the body doesn’t feel stable, little ones often rise up onto their toes to create a sense of security — but that can also keep certain muscles overworking and others underused ⚖️

At Brisbane Osteopathic Centre, we look at how your baby’s whole body moves and integrates — from feet to head — using gentle techniques to help them:
✨ Feel grounded through their heels
✨ Improve coordination and balance
✨ Move with more ease and flow

If your baby’s been walking on their toes for a while or you’ve noticed it’s only on one side, we can help uncover why and guide you with the right next steps 🌿

Headaches that keep coming back aren’t random — they’re a pattern your body is stuck in 🧩

If you’ve tried neck stretches, magnesium, stronger glasses, new pillows or pain meds… but nothing seems to fix it — here’s why ⬇️

Headaches and migraines often come from a mix of:
🧠 Nervous system overload
💀 Cranial strain patterns
😬 Jaw tension or clenching
🌬 Restricted breathing + diaphragm tightness
💫 Neck + rib tension
🫠 Fascia strain from old injuries
🫣 Gut + liver congestion
💤 Poor fluid drainage from the head

This is why we don’t just treat the neck. At Brisbane Osteopathic Centre, we look at how the whole system is connected and what is keeping it under pressure.

Using gentle cranial and visceral osteopathy, we help:
✔️ Release strain in the fascial system
✔️ Improve blood + lymphatic flow from the head
✔️ Calm irritated nerves
✔️ Regulate the stress response
✔️ Reduce head pressure and fatigue

If you’re tired of chasing symptoms, we’d love to help you get to the root cause 🌿

🤢 Does your baby gag easily when feeding, taking a dummy, or starting solids?
You’re not alone — an overactive gag reflex is really common in babies and can make feeding stressful for everyone. The good news? With gentle sensory input, we can help desensitise the gag reflex and make oral experiences feel safe again. 👶✨

In this video, I’m using a simple oral desensitisation technique — applying calm, steady pressure to the gum ridge behind the top lip (upper jaw). This area is often under-stimulated in babies who:
❗ Struggle to latch
❗ Are sensitive to touch around the mouth
❗ Gag easily with spoons or teethers
❗ Avoid hands or toys in the mouth
❗ Have had tongue/lip tie release and still show oral tension

💡 By giving clear, organised sensory information to this area, we help:
✅ Reduce gag sensitivity
✅ Improve tongue movement + control
✅ Build feeding confidence
✅ Support oral motor development (speech + chewing later on)
✅ Create safer pathways for introducing solids

This is never about forcing — it’s about helping your baby feel safe and calm while building tolerance to sensation in the mouth. 💛

If your baby struggles with gagging, messy feeding, or oral aversion — gentle osteopathic care can help. We assess the whole system: jaw tension, tongue function, neck mobility, vagus nerve tone + feeding mechanics.

If you’d like support, we’d love to help you and your baby 💫
