Osteopathy for Children and Babies

​

Osteopathy can be used at any age and children benefit a lot from osteopathic treatments.

​

It is an ideal therapy for babies as well. It is safe to use even in the first weeks of life, and also very beneficial at this time, as a newly born infant readily integrates the benefits of a treatment.

​

Treatment indications for babies may be:

• Prolonged or complicated labour

• Birth by C-section

• Torticollis or preferred head rotation

• Plagiocephaly or other facial or cranial deformations

• Colic pain

• Reflux or excessive vomiting

• Problems with suction or breast-feeding

​

It can help children in a variety of situations such as:

• After knocks and falls

• Growing pains

• Scoliosis

• Recurring infections, e.g. otitis media

• Asthma

• Gait irregularities

• Learning difficulties, ADHD

​

Osteopathy during Pregnancy

​

As a drug-free medical system osteopathy is ideal and safe for woman during pregnancy.

​

Osteopathy can help with most of the common pregnancy complaints such as:

• Nausea

• Backache, Neckpain

• Headache

• Acid reflux

• Rib pain

• Water retention

Osteopathy can also be used to prepare the pelvis for the delivery, as blocked joints here can stop the pelvis from adapting to the babies body, as it is making its way down the birth canal. This can lead to prolonged labour, ventouse or forceps deliveries, or emergency C-sections.
