Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy

Yes, osteopaths working at the Osteopathic Centre for Children do have experience treating children with this condition. I'm not sure exactly what information you require, so if I've not given you enough info here, please feel free to telephone the clinic and ask to speak to the Consutant in charge.

BPT can have a number of effects on a developing body and as osteopaths we feel that it is as important to address these as the local effects on the child's neck. We would be particularly interested on the development of posture and movement - as BPT is one sided it can alter the neurological feedback which the brain requires in order to develop good symetrical posture in the rest of the spine and the limbs.

Every child with this condition is different and there will be different issues to address depending on the age of the child so the best advice I can give is to bring your child for assessment so that the information and advice can be specific to his/her case.

I hope this is useful, but do contact us again if you need more information: http://www.fpo.org.uk/Secondary/Misc/maps.html
