Pediatric Osteopathy

It is my deep passion to give even the youngest children the best possible start in life. Immediately after the birth, the mother is often asked how she is doing and how the birth went. However, it is just as important to consider the considerable forces acting on the newborn during a vaginal or caesarean birth. The continuous contractions cause constant, compressive pressure on the baby’s body. If the baby’s head is not optimally aligned or a necessary turn is not made correctly, the baby has difficulty moving through the birth canal, which often leads to tension. This tension is initially normal, but can lead to problems such as restricted neck mobility, a preferred side to lie on or digestive difficulties.

My work and my heart lie in trusting completely in the abilities of my hands. It fills me with joy to feel the tension and to see how the babies clearly relax. I make a point of showing parents holds, exercises and massage techniques that they can use at home to further promote their child’s well-being.

I strongly recommend that every infant is examined and treated osteopathically in the first few weeks of life. This makes it possible to recognize and treat possible misalignments and tensions early on, before they potentially lead to painful complaints as the child grows. Many problems can be avoided through early intervention, which contributes to healthier development and a happier start in life.

This careful care and preventative treatment is essential to prepare each child for the rest of their life in the best possible way. By intervening at an early stage, we ensure that every child has the best possible chance to develop without restrictions.
