North Canberra Osteopathy Our clinic cares for families; and our osteopaths have further training in paediatrics, women's health, and a range of other special interests.

We care for babies and children who have been a bit squished in utero or during their birth, to help them move freely and feel comfortable in their little bodies. We also offer pre and postnatal osteopathy, mastitis care, post mastectomy care, women's health osteopathy, visceral osteopathy, breathing retraining and general osteopathy.

When you work with lots of babies and children, the songs that get stuck in your head tend to be of a certain genre. 🎶
Our clinic playlist probably isn’t what you’d expect! 😂

So when we realised that one of those songs lined up perfectly with the names of our Friday team, we couldn’t resist having a little fun with it.

Credit goes to one of our patients, who was chatting with us about names when we both had the same lightbulb moment at exactly the same time! 💡

And well… this is the result. We hope you enjoy it as much as we enjoyed putting it together!

We’re all busy and it can be hard to do exercises during your day so let’s make things easier and combine some exercises with your daily tasks.

🦶When you get out of the shower or the bath as you stand on your bathmat stretch your toes out and try and scrunch the bathmat together.
Repeat this 5 times on each foot.
It should take you less than 30 seconds.

This helps strengthen those smaller, intrinsic muscles of your foot to make them stronger.
Bonus – this may help dry those spaces in between your toes as well!!

Building habits takes time but this simple way of stacking some exercise into your routine can be very easy once you start.

Our team at North Canberra Osteopathy are always learning!

We learn from each other and practice on each other as well as attending courses to help build our knowledge and skills all so that we can provide the best care we can to our patients.

Anna recently attended ASTOT (Australasian Society for Tethered Oral Tissues) conference in Bali. It was 2 days of presentations from a range of professionals who work with babies, children and adults with tethered oral ties including IBCLCs, dentists, SLPs, ENTs, paediatricians, osteopaths and physios
She also spent some time with renowned Osteopath George Stylian in Byron Bay learning in-depth about the embryology and neurology of the face.

Mariella headed to Brisbane, learning about transitional movements during the first 18 months of life and how these movements lay the foundation for postural control, coordination and future function. It also highlighted how important building our sensory input is to help with the motor movements
Mariella has also recently been to a course with Julie Fendall: An Osteopathic approach to Paediatrics, the first eighteen months, examination and management.

🍼 We were so excited to attend the launch of the 2026 Canberra Baby Directory!

A few weeks ago, some of our team headed along to celebrate the launch of this wonderful resource for Canberra families. 👶

It was such a great event, bringing together people from all sorts of occupations, businesses and skill sets — all with a shared goal of supporting families through the different stages of their journey 🩵

You can find copies of the 2026 Canberra Baby Directory Magazine around the clinic, so grab one next time you’re in and have a read! 📖

Not at the clinic? You can also check out the Canberra Baby Directory page online.

A big thank you to everyone involved in bringing this fantastic resource together! 🥰

👶 Is my baby too young to see an osteopath?
Or perhaps you’re wondering…
“Have I missed the right age to bring my child in?”

We often get asked when the “right” time is to bring a baby into the clinic.

The simple answer is: whenever you have concerns about how your baby is moving or developing. 🩵

Our osteopaths have seen babies as young as just a few days old, including one very special little 2-day-old! 🥰

Every baby is different, and if something doesn’t seem quite right to you, it’s always okay to ask questions and have your baby assessed.

If you’re wondering whether osteopathy may be appropriate for your little one, get in touch with our friendly team — we’re always happy to chat.

It’s nearly here, this Sunday we will be joining the Walk for hope, walking to support the work of Karinya house.

It costs Karinya House an average of $20,000 to provide one woman and her children with the wrap around care they require at this critical time in their lives. With an average support period of 169 days, the women Karinya House supports develop the confidence to be able to make choices that support long-term independence for themselves and their children. Charting a new path forward.

The Walk for Hope is a celebration of resilience, community, and collective action. Funds raised will help women build safer, stronger futures for themselves and their children.
