Children can be treated from birth. Many childhood ailments
are traced back to unresolved strains at birth.
A check by an
osteopath of a newborn can identify such problems and offer the opportunity to
gently correct it.
It is a common belief that babies and children should have no structural
stresses or strains in their bodies, because they are so young. The reality
is very different.
Birth is one of the most stressful events of our lives. The baby is
subjected to enormous forces, as the uterus pushes to expel the baby against
the natural resistance of the birth canal. The baby has to twist and turn as
it squeezes through the bony pelvis, on its short but highly stimulating and
potentially stressful journey.
Osteopathy can bring relief to babies who seem to cry excessively and
those with sleeping and feeding difficulties. Other conditions addressed are
recurrent ear infections, behavioural and learning difficulties and headaches,
among a few.
