Osteopathic Centre for Children Care is gentle, tailored to each individual, and delivered in a supportive space. www.justgiving.com/osteopathiccfc/donate

The Osteopathic Centre for Children offers a welcoming, open-plan clinic environment where babies, children, and expectant mothers are treated by experienced osteopaths. The Osteopathic Centre for Children (OCC) is a UK charity offering specialist paediatric osteopathy to babies, children, teenagers, pre and postnatal women on a "donate-what-you-can basis" since 1991. Paediatric osteopathy is a non-invasive and non-pharmaceutical treatment for children. At the OCC we offer diagnosis, treatment, and – where appropriate – referral to other health professionals such as your doctor or midwife. Our qualified osteopaths specialise in the treatment of children 0-18 years of age, pregnant and postnatal women. After the initial consultation, we help you schedule any follow-ups as needed, with the same osteopath. We treat patients holistically, and look at the whole body, not just the presenting condition.

6 week old Zaniah was brought to the OCC clinic last year.

Zaniah's mum shares her experience at the OCC with us: "I've been bringing Zaniah for tongue tie, however through the course of treatment the osteopath noted that there was a stiffness in her jaw most likely caused by the Braxton Hicks I experienced while pregnant with her. But from the first treatment there's been vast improvement and she's even feeding better."

Donating £45 allows us to provide a follow-up appointment for children like Zaniah. Visit https://www.occ-fpo.org.uk/support-us/make-a-donation/ to find out more.

Osteopathy for all children

Since 1991 the Osteopathic Centre for Children has offered the very best paediatric osteopathy to children, babies and perinatal women, regardless of a family’s ability to pay.

The OCC has become an internationally recognised centre of excellence, providing not only a free consultation and treatment clinic but also postgraduate specialist training and clinical research. We treat children holistically, and look at the whole child, not just the presenting condition.

We believe that paediatric osteopathy should not be a luxury treatment option only available to the wealthy, so unlike other osteopathy clinics we work on a donations basis – patients are treated for free at the point of need - with families making a donation to the charity instead.

Most of our patients are under 2 years old but we treat children and young people until they are 18, sometimes older if they have particularly complex needs. Pregnant women and new mums are another small but important part of our work. Our team takes the time to listen and treat the whole patient, often making onward referrals to other NHS services where other tests or treatments would be of benefit.
