How we help
The Dove Children’s Clinic provides, specialist osteopathic care for children experiencing a wide range of physical and emotional challenges. Our gentle, hands-on approach is tailored to your child’s needs — whether they’re dealing with birth trauma, developmental issues, or unsettled behaviour.
We focus on supporting the body’s natural ability to self-regulate and heal, helping your child feel more at ease and thrive in daily life.
“I’ve seen the charity osteopath Hilary for my son Francesco, as he had a head side preference from birth. Hilary has been great treating him, improving his posture and giving me tips on how to reverse and prevent further issues. “.

Who we see
We welcome children of all ages, from new-born babies up to 18-year old teenagers. If you want to know more then why not get in touch.
We’re also always more than happy to discuss whether osteopathy may be appropriate for your child before you book.
About the clinic
A Dedicated Children’s Clinic
The Dove Children’s Clinic is a standalone, not-for-profit service run by experienced paediatric osteopaths. We are committed to making high-quality osteopathic care available to families who may not otherwise be able to access it.
Appointments are provided by fully qualified practitioners with extensive experience in working with babies and children, or by fully qualified osteopaths undergoing specialist training in paediatric osteopathy under close supervision from expert paediatric osteopaths.
Why we don’t charge
We believe that every child deserves access to the best possible care regardless of their family’s financial circumstances. That’s why we offer all our appointments free of charge, with no referral needed.
This is only possible thanks to the generous donations of individuals and organisations who share our values. If you are able to make a donation to your treatment or can afford the full cost you will allow us to treat even more children.
What to expect:
Children are treated in a calm, family-friendly space. Practitioners use gentle, non-invasive techniques to support the child’s overall wellbeing and comfort. Parents are encouraged to stay present throughout.
