Stone Osteopaths

What happens at an osteopath appointment?

If you’ve ever wondered what to expect, you’re not alone. Most people just want to know it will feel calm, clear, and not overwhelming.

At Stone Osteopaths, we look at how the body moves as a whole not just where it hurts. From there, we create a plan that supports comfort, confidence, and steady progress.

👶 For babies and children
Our approach is gentle, calm, and always child-led. We’re here to support growing bodies and any everyday niggles that can appear as children develop.

🧍 For adults
Appointments are unhurried and thorough, with a focus on making everyday life easier whether that’s postural strain, sciatica, headaches, or sports-related aches.

Your first appointment includes:
• Space to discuss your health history, concerns, and goals
• An assessment of how your body is moving
• A clear explanation of what we’ve found
• A plan moving forward

If you’re unsure whether an appointment is right for you or your little one, feel free to send us a message we’re always happy to help.

If you’re worried about your baby’s health, please also speak to your GP or health visitor.

Did you know you can book an osteopathic appointment for your baby? 🤍

A lot of parents spend the first few months being told their baby is “just unsettled” and that it’s simply what babies do… and honestly, it can feel really lonely when you’re in the thick of it.

Sometimes it is just newborn life.
But sometimes there’s a little something else going on that’s worth a gentle check-in.

At Stone Osteopaths, baby appointments are calm, unrushed and completely parent-led. We’ll look at your baby’s comfort and movement, and share simple, practical tips you can use at home.

Parents often come to us when they’ve noticed things like:
→ feeding feels easier on one side
→ baby always turns their head the same way
→ tummy time feels like a daily battle
→ lots of unsettled periods / discomfort after feeds
→ a flat spot or head shape changes starting to appear

It doesn’t mean anything is “wrong” many parents simply want reassurance, support, and to feel more confident.

Save this for later 🤍

And if you’re wondering whether it could help your little one, send us a message and we’ll happily guide you to the right next step.

If you’ve been thinking “I’ll deal with it later”… this is your gentle nudge 💛

Here’s what happens in a first appointment at Stone Osteopaths (so booking feels simple, not stressful).

1) You arrive & settle in
No rushing. Just a calm space to take a breath.

2) A short chat about what’s going on
We’ll talk through your symptoms, what you’ve noticed, and what you want help with.

3) A gentle assessment
This helps us understand what might be contributing and what your body is doing.

4) Clear explanation
We’ll explain what we think is happening and why in a way that feels easy to understand.

5) Treatment (if appropriate)
Always gentle, always tailored, and always explained as we go.

6) Plan & next steps
You’ll leave feeling clearer on what to do next with a simple plan moving forward.

No pressure. No overwhelm. Just support.

If you have any questions before booking, DM us and we’ll reply as soon as we can.

A gentle reminder for parents 💛

Even a good birth can be a big experience for a baby’s body. It’s completely normal to notice changes afterwards particularly following a caesarean, forceps, or ventouse birth.

Some families notice things like:
Baby always turning or looking to one side
Feeding feeling harder than expected
Fussiness when lying flat or in the car seat
Unsettled behaviour despite basic needs being met

If any of this sounds familiar, you’re not overthinking it and you don’t have to work it out alone.

If pain or stiffness is starting to affect your sleep, mood, work, or confidence, you don’t have to just put up with it.

We see many busy adults who’ve been quietly managing symptoms for months, often putting themselves last.

A first appointment is calm, thorough, and focused on helping you clearly understand what’s going on and what to do next.

If you’re wondering whether osteopathy could help, feel free to message us. We’re always happy to help you work out the best next step.

Care shouldn’t feel like trial and error.

You’ll sometimes hear us describe our approach as evidence-informed care and it simply means you’re not getting a one-size-fits-all opinion.

It’s 3 things, together:
• Best current research (what evidence suggests helps)
• Clinical experience (what we see work in real life, for real people)
• Your goals + preferences (what matters to you and your family)

So you feel involved in the plan, you get clear explanations, and you never feel rushed.

If you’re a new mum (or mum-to-be) and you’re already worried about colic or reflux… you’re not alone 🤍

Those early weeks can be confusing fast one person says colic, the next says reflux, then it’s “just unsettled”… and you’re left googling at 2am and trying everything.

Quick guide:

Colic: big crying episodes, often in a pattern (similar time each day).
Reflux: milk comes back up or baby seems uncomfortable after feeds (even without lots of spit-up).
Unsettled: can be wind, tiredness, overstimulation or a growth spurt.

Try tracking for 48 hours: feeds • sleep • crying • spit-up • nappies.

If you’re worried about your baby’s health, always speak to your GP/health visitor.
