What is osteopathy in babies and children?

Osteopathy for babies and children is a manual method of treatment that looks at the body as a whole. An osteopath examines whether all structures – such as muscles, joints, organs, connective tissue and the nervous system – can move freely.

Only gentle techniques are used with babies. The treatment is painless and safe.

Osteopathy focuses not only on the complaint, but on the underlying cause.

When do you take your baby to an osteopath?

Many parents seek an osteopath for their baby for complaints such as:

• Lots of crying or restlessness
• Reflux or hidden reflux
• Intestinal cramps or constipation
• Sleeping badly
• Preferred posture or flattened head
• Overstretching
• Difficulty drinking (breast or bottle)
• Irritability

These symptoms often arise from stresses during pregnancy or childbirth, such as a long labor, cesarean section, vacuum or breech birth.
