Manual Osteopathy can have a wide range of benefits for children, as soon as they take their first breath of air.

You might be thinking, why could a baby possibly need manual therapy? There are a few key reasons!

The labour and delivery process can be quite traumatic for birth person and babe. Regardless of how the birth unfolds, it’s really important that the baby has a thorough examination within the first couple of days/month to support proper development, sleep/digestive concerns and consider any red flags.
A Manual Osteopath will take time with your babe to determine foetal positioning (the position most favored in the womb) and adjust any patterns that could potentially lead to imbalances as they grow.
A Manual Osteopath will address cranial concerns, specifically looking at the cranial bones, to make sure there isn’t any compression on the cranial nerves that could cause issues with sight, digestion, smell, colic and more.

Pediatric Manual Osteopathy can help support a newborn body as they ease into this scary world. Having a trained professional on your side as you navigate the first few months as new parents can be invaluable!
