Have you contacted the British School of Osteopathy in London? Have you thought about investigating the Alexander Technique?

Lots of spurious claims are made by lots of practitioners and I would seriously consider speaking to your GP if you haven't already.

Hi

We have experience of nuerophysiological psychology treatment for ADHD symptoms. Bit like osteopathy in that it is movements and exercise that it used to treat various conditions like autism, aspergers, behavioural problems, learning problems. The INPP have a website (sorry if you google it, it should come up) and I think it should be tried before say medication. Unfortunately it is private and costs about a£1000 for years worth approx but can have excellent results. I think the DORE centres use a similar thing but not as holistically. You can PM me if you would like to chat about it.

Best wishes,

How similar they are I don't know, but the TV presenter Quentin Wilson is evangelical about the amazing impact chiropractics had on his young son - previously diagnosed with autism. Google him and autism to see a range of articles and interviews about his experiences.

The cranial osteopath I use does a lot of successful work with children - poor sleeping, colic, ear infections, ADHD, etc.
