Our Services
There are many reasons why parents book in to see me with their children, from concerns about their flat head (plagiocephaly), torticollis or hip dysplasia, to reflux, breastfeeding difficulties and tongue-tie assessment, and scoliosis.
As you are no doubt aware babies and children don’t always fit neatly into categories, nor do they have set routines for very long. This means that every consultation is unique to the individual child. Broadly speaking there are 3 different consultation categories I provide, however very often parents end up a combination of all within the one appointment.

Tongue Tie Examination & Treatment
The assessment of TOT’s (tethered oral tissues) including the tongue, lip, buccal and lower lip (mentalis). It involves a functional assessment of the oral cavity, including suck strength, swallow oral muscle tone, cranial mobility and skeletal alignment (Eg. Torticollis).
Feeding observation and recommendations (either breast or bottle)
Suck training/exercises (if necessary)
Report and referral to a provider for release (if indicated)
Pre and post-frenotomy treatment (osteopathy including cranial) and ongoing feeding support.
