Children & Babies
An osteopath’s hands are feeling hands, this means that they are monitoring hands. This is opposed to Osteopaths pushing and prodding the body. They are working to monitor how that mechanism inside is working and how we are able to assist in the release of any areas of restriction found in the body. Osteopathic treatment not only focuses a child’s current issues but also works preventatively throughout their development and growth, to help with both emotional and physical issues, from birth through early childhood and on to adolescence.
Osteopaths commonly treat babies with:
- Constant crying
- Digestive problems and constipation
