Osteopathy and children - What can it help treat?
Babies and children, as well as adults, might suffer from musculo-skeletal problems that can respond well to osteopathic treatment. In babies, a difficult or long drawn out birth may cause restrictions and tensions within tissues that lead to a degree of discomfort which may manifest, for example, as unsettled behaviour. In older children, problems might arise though excessive computer use, hunching over a laptop, or through carrying heavy bags to and from school. However these issues arise, osteopathy is well placed to address them.
How are children treated?
"Paediatric osteopathy" refers to the treatment of children. a number of types of osteopathic techniques are suitable in the treatment of children and babies. These might range from extremely gentle techniques to address a problem in a baby’s neck, for example, to a different approach in the case of an older child suffering from a sports injury. Only those techniques appropriate at the time will be applied and each treatment plan will be discussed in advance.
