As a parent, it can be hard to know when your kids need assessment and treatment.<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you reacted to every complaint, knock and bruise, you could be sitting in a waiting room three times a week!<\/p>\n

But when things do go wrong, who should you turn to?<\/p>\n

When it comes to musculoskeletal pain and injury, osteopathy is a great starting point. Osteopaths are trained to evaluate and diagnose injury, including referring for scans if need be, and then provide hands-on treatment to get the body moving well and feeling strong.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe beauty of osteopathy is that we can assess and treat so many conditions using light touch, which is perfect for children, because pain can be scary for them,\u201d Quay Osteo Director Dr Laura Walsh said.<\/p>\n

Dr Walsh believes that trust plays the biggest part when working with children of all ages. \u201cYou can\u2019t fool kids, they know when you\u2019re genuine.\u201d Similarly, she understands that for parents it\u2019s a big deal in choosing a health professional to care for and guide their children.<\/p>\n

The exceptional team of osteopaths at Quay Osteo all work regularly with children, from babies through to teens. They each bring their unique experiences of sport, injuries and parenting to their work, in addition to their detailed musculoskeletal knowledge and clinical background.<\/p>\n

Quay Osteo makes a strong focus on patient education, with posture, stress management, footwear, screen time and desk set up all featuring heavily with teenagers to help them combat the headaches and back pain which can be triggered by study.<\/p>\n

Curious whether osteopathy may be helpful for your family?<\/p>\n

Quay Osteo welcomes you to call the clinic with any specific questions that will give you confidence in choosing an osteopathic assessment. Call 03 5215 1106 or email health@quayosteo.com.au.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
