Osteopathy can be a great help for your newborn baby, helping him to grow and develop in harmony and health.
The moment of childbirth is a milestone event in the baby’s life and the transition to extrauterine life is full of challenges, for which the baby is mostly biologically prepared. However, some childbirth and birth contexts may involve extra challenges, where the baby may be subjected to pressure and traction forces that exceed physiological limits, causing osteoarticular and myofascial imbalances.
Osteopathic treatment aims to balance all parts of the body where myofascial tensions and joint restrictions are present that can create discomfort and imbalance in your baby.
Osteopathic treatment is gentle and non-invasive and can help the baby during its first months and years of life in cases of:
- torcicollis
- colic
- plagiocephaly
- reflux
- breastfeeding difficulties
- constipation
- sleep disorders
The field of action of pediatric osteopathy also covers older children. Here are other examples of child health challenges in which osteopathy can be an asset:
- recurrent otitis, especially if it always affects the same ear
- speech disorders
- eye changes (strabismus)
- alterations in gait, scoliosis, or other compensations that may be associated with the neuromusculoskeletal system.
The osteopathy appointment can be held at the UTERUS premises or at home.
