Babies and
Children
Childbirth is hard work for both mother & baby. Even
a normal birth can leave stresses and strains in a
baby’s head if the ‘pushing’ stage is too long.
Deliveries with ventouse or forceps can obviously
involve more strain.
This may be a factor in problems like irritability,
crying, sleeplessness, feeding problems or torticollis.
Some babies try to relieve their symptoms by banging
their heads or pulling their hair. They may move
around a lot and may actively avoid certain
positions because they are uncomfortable for them.
Osteopathic treatment may help relieve the stress
and strain associated with delivery.
Children of any age may benefit from treatment,
generally sooner the better if stresses are allowed to
accumulate it can make it more difficult to restore
normal function.
During teenage years the body undergoes an enormous
amount of change and many musculo-skeletal
conditions such as osteochondrosis and
chondromalacia patellae can occur. Osteopaths are
trained to diagnose and or treat many of these
conditions. Other problems can be caused by sporting
or recreational activities.
Both Brian and Louise have undergone undergraduate &
post graduate training in cranial osteopathy that
includes paediatric osteopathy. |
