Our
vision is to ensure that paediatric osteopathy - a gentle, effective
and environmentally-friendly treatment - is established as the first
recourse for parents and carers concerned for their child's health. We
accomplish this by raising awareness of paediatric osteopathy,
participating in research, training paediatric osteopaths and providing
free treatment to babies, children and pregnant and post-partum women.
The
Foundation for Paediatric Osteopathy is the only charity of its type in
the world. Our life-improving service provision continues to increase
year-on-year and we will provide around 30,000 free treatments in our
clinics during 2009. This success is possible only through the
continuing generosity of the public, so we do encourage families, if
able, to make a donation.
We were established in 1991 and
since then have grown in leaps and bounds. From a half-day's worth of
treatments in rented accommodation, we are now open 5 days per week at
our headquarters in Clerkenwell, London. In the fullness of time we
hope to establish satellite clinics throughout the UK.
Please find links below to videos showing the work we do at our clinic.
"My son had very bad asthma, but now he has fewer colds and copes
better when he does feel under the weather. It's very rare for him to
use his reliever now. He's also sleeping better at night."
