Gentle, specialist cranial osteopathy for newborns and infants at our Glenfield clinic. Colic, reflux, feeding difficulties, sleep disturbances and birth-related tension — safe from birth, using the most delicate touch techniques.
Birth is one of the most physically demanding experiences a body can undergo — for both mother and baby. Even straightforward deliveries place significant compressive and rotational forces on a newborn's head, neck and spine. For many babies, these birth-related tensions resolve naturally within days. For others, they contribute to colic, reflux, feeding difficulties, sleep problems and unsettled behaviour that can persist for weeks or months without treatment.
At Premier Wellness Glenfield on Auckland's North Shore, our experienced team provides specialist gentle cranial osteopathy for newborns and infants from birth. Treatment uses an extraordinarily light touch — often barely perceptible to parents watching — to release the tensions held in the baby's cranial bones, neck, spine and soft tissues, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to function as it should.
Our North Shore baby osteopathy clinic sees infants from across the region — Albany, Takapuna, Birkenhead, Northcote, Forrest Hill, Sunnynook and further afield. Many parents are referred to us by midwives, Plunket nurses and paediatricians. No referral is required — you can book directly online or by calling 09 444 3231.
Gentle osteopathy for babies addresses a wide range of conditions — all using the softest, most delicate techniques safe from birth.
Our multidisciplinary team uses six evidence-based modalities and can combine them for faster, more lasting results.
Cranial osteopathy for babies uses an extremely light touch to release the compressive and rotational tensions held in the cranial bones, sacrum and soft tissues after birth. Treatment restores the natural rhythmic motion of the craniosacral system, allowing the nervous system to settle and the body to function optimally. Suitable from the first day of life.
Osteopathy North ShoreAcupuncture is not typically used for newborns or young infants. For older babies and toddlers where appropriate, acupuncture or acupressure points may be incorporated as a gentle complement to osteopathic treatment for specific conditions including digestive issues and sleep.
Acupuncture AucklandInfant massage taught to parents can be a powerful complement to clinical treatment for colic, constipation and unsettled babies. Our practitioners can teach parents specific massage techniques to use at home between appointments — empowering families to continue care beyond the clinic.
Massage AucklandFor developmental concerns — delayed milestones, motor development issues or neurological considerations — paediatric physiotherapy provides targeted assessment and exercise-based intervention. We work alongside paediatricians and other specialists as needed.
Physiotherapy AucklandFor infants with complex gut issues, food allergies or inflammatory conditions, functional medicine assessment of the mother's gut health and dietary patterns can be relevant — particularly for breastfed babies where maternal diet directly affects the infant.
Functional MedicineNutritional support for breastfeeding mothers directly impacts infant gut health, colic risk and immune development. Our nutritionists support postnatal mothers with dietary optimisation for breastfeeding, managing infant food allergies through elimination protocols, and introduction of solids.
