Edge Osteopathy

I took my 2.5 month old daughter to see Kate on the advice of a lactation consultant while we waited for an appointment for tongue tie, and we have continued to see Kate regularly over the past 6+ months. Initially I was worried about my baby being able to even complete the treatment session as she was so unsettled, however Kate was completely baby-led and flexible in her approach. My daughter is now 9 months old and with Kate's expertise and care, has gone from being an extremely unsettled and uncomfortable baby, to one that is happy and thriving. I am so grateful to Kate and can't recommend her highly enough.

Kate was recommended by our IBCLC and has made a massive difference with my baby's tension and mobility. His feeding is improved and he is always really calm and chill after a session with her, he loves the massage and stretches! I was a bit sceptical about going initially but Kate is trustworthy and her treatment and advice is gentle but medically-based, and she won't scam you into more appointments than you need. She has also really helped me with my own pain and posture issues from breastfeeding.

We visited Kate soon after our daughter was born. Kate helped her to loosen the tension in her jaw and and torso. This in turn helped her to feed better and burp (this was something that our little girl really struggled with). Throughout all the sessions Kate was very patient and gentle with her treatment. She explained what she was doing and how it was going to help our little girl. After just 2 sessions we saw considerable change. We cant thank Kate enough for helping out little girl and in turn us.

We were referred to Kate @ Edge Osteopathy by our feeding consultant to help our little one who had some challenges due to his very early arrival. Part of issues with feeding were down to a tongue tie and subsequently tension in his neck and jaw. Right from the initial consultation, Kate was gentle, reassuring and confident with our precious little package, resolving his challenges and forming a close bond with him. We continue to see Kate 6 months later and are very thankful shes part of our journey. Kate has also helped me with a long standing back issue, compounded by 2 recent years working from home. A series of sessions and exercise programmes have really transformed my movement and flexibility which Im very grateful for. So I/we can wholeheartedly recommend Kate and her practice.

I went to see Kate as my little one was refluxy, struggled to sleep and so so gassy that I had reached the point where I felt I had nothing to lose. Kate took a detailed history and did a full body assessment which she broke down for me as well as doing a tongue tie assessment to be certain, even though wed already had it cut. Lo and behold the tongue tie that had been done was insufficient and had healed. Kate worked with me to loosen the tight muscles that were in dysfunction due to the tongue tie, was able to recommend somewhere to cut a 11 month olds tongue tie proficiently and we are now working on keeping the little ones muscular tension down as they heal. Pre cut and with Kates work we noticed a decrease in gas, attempts at sticking their tongue out, more sleep with the mouth closed and easier full body movement. Post cut and again with Kates work, weve seen further reduction in gas, shorter feeds, improved posture, tongue exiting the mouth, IMPROVED SLEEP and a generally more content miniature human. Throughout the whole process Kate has been very clear and honest with expected outcomes, what she would advise for next steps and guidance for exercises to do at home. Shes even able to coerce the mini human into doing exercises that they refuse to let me do as Mum and they dont whinge! As a Mum whos felt fobbed off by the GPs with suggestions of antidepressants for me or gaviscon/omeprazole for the very refluxey baby, shes listened, assessed and actually made a difference. Shes honest with the science, research and facts, shes been reassuring and has really put me at ease. We travel 2+ hours a week to and from her and I think its worth every second. Shes given my child the gift of comfort, I only wish Id gone to her sooner.
