Kate Dewhurst - Paediatric Osteopath
Kate is a registered osteopath and founder of Edge Osteopathy, with 10 years’ clinical experience and a specialist focus on paediatric osteopathy, infant feeding, pregnancy and postnatal care.
She has developed a highly specialised paediatric practice, working extensively with babies and young children and supporting families with concerns including infant development, feeding difficulties, tongue function, head shape, torticollis, movement asymmetries and musculoskeletal development.
Kate’s assessment goes beyond the area of concern. She looks carefully at a baby’s birth history, feeding, movement patterns, development and overall presentation to build a clear picture of what may be contributing to their symptoms. Her treatment approach is gentle and individualised, with practical advice and exercises often given to parents to continue at home.
She has a particular interest in infant feeding and tongue-tie, including assessing babies where feeding difficulties persist before or after tongue-tie release and working alongside other healthcare professionals where appropriate.

With a decade in practice and a strong paediatric caseload, Kate is passionate about providing experienced, evidence-informed and family-centred care, while making sure parents feel listened to, reassured and fully involved in their child’s treatment.
Kate is a fully insured member of The Institute of Osteopathy and is registered with The General Osteopathic Council.
