Osteopathy at the service of babies

18/02/2016

Does your baby cry for hours and hours, refuses to be in a certain position or presents an asymmetric head? Was your baby’s delivery complicated? Paediatrics Osteopathy is a precious help on solving many of new-borns common problems.

Osteopathy for babies aims to prevent conditions that may be related, for instance, to compressions to which the baby was subject during intra-uterine life and labour, especially in instrumental deliveries.  Osteopathy recurs to smooth techniques that respect the baby’s fragile structure.

Most of the developed work is at cranial level. Starting treatment earlier assures best results. New-borns may be referred to Paediatrics Osteopathy with as little as 1 week of life. All used techniques are extremely smooth and our professionals exercise minimum pressure.
