Paediatric Osteopathy

Paediatric Osteopathy at Keilor Health Centre

At Keilor Health Centre, we understand that children's health requires gentle, specialised care. Dr Steven Zarka, our experienced osteopath with advanced training in paediatric care, offers thoughtful, personalised treatment for babies, toddlers, and children of all ages.
Dr Zarka provides support for a range of childhood concerns, including:
  • Routine check-ups and growth monitoring
  • Postnatal care for newborns
  • Postural, developmental, and movement-related concerns
  • Recovery support following injury or surgery
  • Chronic conditions and physical limitations
  • Sleep issues and disturbances
With a compassionate and wholistic approach, Dr Zarka works closely with parents and carers—as well as other healthcare professionals—to create a supportive environment for each child’s development and wellbeing.

What to Expect from Osteopathic Care

Each treatment plan is carefully tailored to your child’s individual needs. Care may involve gentle, hands-on osteopathic techniques such as cranial biodynamic therapy, along with home-based exercises and education to support long-term outcomes. When necessary, referrals are made to trusted paediatricians, occupational therapists, or psychologists to ensure comprehensive support. At Keilor Health Centre, our osteopaths are regularly referred to by GPs, maternal child health nurses, and allied health professionals who trust us to deliver safe, evidence-informed care for children.
