Treatment For Children

As a parent of two sons I fully understand that the single most important thing in life is the health and wellbeing of our children. This is why I have championed the use of the neurological techniques I use in practice here, with children. Unlike adults whose brains have fully grown, the developing brain of a child is a magical thing that has enormous neuroplasicity and openness to positive changes.

 

The techniques used here are super gentle and require no soft tissue work to achieve maximal effect and so are effective for working with children of all ages, even those only a few days old.

Treatment FAQs

Will my child need to do exercises following treatment?

 

I tend to give children very little homework as generally they adapt really quickly to neurological shifts or changes. Children spend their time learning through play and so experience a lot of their day through varied movements. This variation of movement and adaptation nearly always lends a helping hand to any positive changes we make during treatment.

​

There are some occasions or conditions that absolutely require homework to one degree or another. Decisions are made on a case by case nature.

Will my child suffer any side effects from treatment?

​

The work we do here is very gentle but in some cases can pack a hefty neurological punch and therefore the most common side effect (if any) is fatigue for a day or two while their body adjusts to changes. This is rare, but nothing to be concerned about.

What Our Patients Say

My son didn’t have the easiest start in life.  He was a special care baby due to infection and had silent reflux not diagnosed until he was 6 weeks.  He spent the 1st few months of his life on various medications and having problems with my milk supply I couldn’t feed him 100% so he had formula as well as breast milk.  He always had huge problems with wind and seemed to have a lot of digestive discomfort. 

 

Joff kindly offered to treat him for free and was able to establish very quickly the formula I was giving him wasn’t agreeing with him.  He also established he had tightness in the left side and he couldn’t fully rotate his head to the left.  Joff treated his tightness and we switched formula which made a huge difference and without such bad discomfort he was able to settle better at night which meant more sleep for mummy!"
