JM Osteopathy
Description
Experienced Osteopath specialising in the treatment of children, mothers to be and general health and well-being. Based in Ranelagh and Swords. Jennifer knew that she wanted to be in the health care profession since she was a child, always the one administering massages to loved ones.
It wasn’t until Jennifer came across Osteopathy whilst studying Nutritional Science at University College Cork that she really found her passion.
Osteopathy is a holistic approach to the body which instantly resonated and she graduated with a B.Sc (Hons) Osteopathic Medicine degree from the Surrey Institute of Osteopathic Medicine, UK in 2007.
Over the last nine years, Jennifer has been in private practice treating both adults and children and treating people of all ages from the newborn to the elderly and also has a keen interest in women and children’s health. Jennifer has undertaken several postgraduate courses in paediatrics (children) and obstetric osteopathy (the treatment of pregnant women) along with courses in the field of visceral and cranial osteopathy. While also lecturing in the Irish College of Osteopathic Medicine.
The human body fascinates Jennifer and through her work has never ceased to be amazed at the bodies ability to self heal and repair itself when given the right tools.
Jennifer finds the treatment of children and babies rewarding because their bodies are young and healthy and the cycles of growth yield wonderful results from osteopathic treatment. Treating children to ease the strain and stresses their bodies receive from the trauma that can occur from birth or simply everyday bumps and falls can have a profound effect on their health.
Jennifer helps children with colic, reflux, constipation, poor sleep patterns, anxiety, developmental delay, coordination and posture, recurrent chest and ear infections, learning difficulties, emotional concerns and many other problems.
My treatment approach is a mix of structural and cranial and I use a variety of techniques tailored to the individual and their presenting complaint. Whether it’s someone young or elderly, a tri-athletes or office worker, I aim to treat the whole person not just the symptoms. I empower people to take better care of themselves both physically and emotionally allowing them to express their health to its fullest and get on with the important business of enjoying life.
"The object of the doctor is to find health, anyone can find disease..."

Why Won’t My Child Stop Getting Ear Infections?
Ear infections are very common in children and can be a big source of distress for little ones. Cranial osteopathy can be very effective in gently assisting drainage of the ear thus reducing the need for antibiotics and ear tube placement. This article is a good read and explains how it works.

Another great post natal fit class with Kathy from BumpBabyAndMe starting on the 6th of July. I can't recommend this class highly enough for new mums to get to their bodies strong and moving properly again in a safe and fun environment. I'm also going to be popping along one of the days to have a chat with new mum's and their babies :).
