Paediatric Osteopathy

Osteopathy in paediatrics look after the wellbeing of newborns and children.

During childbirth, a baby experiences significant pressure on its head as it travels through the mother’s pelvis. In case of a C-section, a vacuum extraction or a forceps-delivery, these also exert significant pressure on the baby’s head and his/her body. When theses stresses are not fully resolved, they can then manifest as symptoms. As a child grows, tensions may also arise due to earlier strains, as a result of trauma or as his/her body adjusts to physical and postural demands.

Osteopathy can help with symptoms such as:

• Postural imbalances

• Colics

• Irritability

• Feeding problems

• Mechanical reflux

• Sleeping problems

• Blocked lacrymal duct

• Recurrent infections
