Osteopaths

Osteopaths treat a variety of conditions, including changes to posture during pregnancy, babies with colic or sleeplessness, repetitive strain injury, postural problems and sports injuries.

MARK BOLTON graduated from the Surrey Institute Of Osteopathic Medicine and practises at The Osteopathic Clinic Of Physical Medicine in Addiscombe and Warlingham, a centre of excellence in the osteopathic field that specialises in treating sports injuries (a number of professional athletes are patients), acute and chronic back problems, pre- and post-natal care and cranial osteopathic treatment for babies. While studying for his two-year Masters in Paediatric Osteopathy he worked at Barnet Hospital neonatal intensive-care ward. Common conditions that babies present with include colic, reflux, sleeping and feeding problems as well as other developmental problems. Treatment involves applying gentle pressure to the baby's head and back to realign the spine and cranial bones and release the stresses and strains incurred at birth.
