Treatment for children and babies
Pregnancy
Osteopathic treatment offers a wonderfully gentle way of helping the
body adapt to the changes which are taking place during pregnancy,
helping to relieve aches and pains as your body tries to accommodate the
growing baby.
What can Osteopathy help?
Osteopathic treatment can help with low back pain, hip and pelvic
pain, neck and shoulder pain, heartburn, indigestion, SPD (symphysis
pubis dysfunction), post-natal coccyx (base of the spine) pain, mid back
pain due to breast feeding – to name just a few.
I can also advise on posture and self-help techniques for you to do
during labour.
Mums often benefit by returning 4 to 6 weeks after birth for a
post-natal check-up to restore pelvic, bladder and joint function.
Babies
Childbirth is a natural process - but it is not without a certain
amount of trauma for both the mother and the child. Not all babies
cope well with the powerful processes of birth as they pass down the
birth canal, or with the effects of assisted delivery or caesarean
section. Many parents have reported that their babies have benefited
from gentle osteopathic treatment.
Children and
Teenagers
Toddlers become children and children become teenagers - and for all of
them, their bodies undergo considerable and often rapid change.
During these years, many young people take part in various sports
and recreational activities frequently resulting in injuries which if
not treated when young can become a problem later in life.
Many older teenagers also start to take on part-time work which
introduces them to yet more physical demands on their still growing and
changing bodies.
These difficult and increasing demands carry the risk of injury and
structural stress that if not treated now can lead to more chronic
conditions in adulthood.
I regularly
treat children, helping them to grow healthily and fulfil their
potential.
