Paediatric Osteopathy

Paediatric Osteopathy

Paediatric osteopathy is a gentle and safe approach, often recommended in the baby’s first days of life, with the aim of promoting balance and the proper functioning of the body, helping the child’s healthy development.

In newborns and babies, immediate osteopathic intervention is increasingly recommended in order to reverse certain conditions acquired during gestation or at the time of birth, such as head deformations and asymmetries (plagiocephaly, brachycephaly, scaphocephaly).

Other situations in which you should turn to Paediatric Osteopathy:

• Colic and gastro-oesophageal reflux;
• Plagiocephaly (flat head);
• Congenital torticollis;
• Sleep disorders;
• Irritability or excessive crying;
• Breastfeeding difficulties;
• Delays in motor development;

What is the consultation like?

The consultation is always carried out by an Osteopath specialised in the paediatric population, always respecting the baby’s or child’s rhythm and needs. The osteopath uses gentle, non-invasive techniques, with the aim of relieving tension and promoting general wellbeing.

At Tecnifisio, we believe in interdisciplinarity, so your baby may be recommended to try another type of approach, such as Paediatric Physiotherapy, complementing and optimising the results!

If necessary, the ideal is to opt for multidisciplinarity and interdisciplinarity, and to combine the intervention of the physiotherapist and the osteopath!
