Osteopathy, Physiotherapy and Remedial Massage in Keilor
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 Steven 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.
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.
