PAEDIATRICS

Osteopathy helps the still flexible and malleable body of newborns by acting on the constraints that the baby has undergone during pregnancy and childbirth. It thus helps the baby to overcome breastfeeding difficulties, sleep disorders, stomach aches, constipation, reflux, crying attacks, earaches, flat head problems or those that always turn on the same side.

Young children are at the age of discovering the world. Osteopathy assists them and ensures their healthy growth by allowing their body to live and move without problems. After a big fall, an episode of flu, in the case of pain, motor problems or posture or simply when teeth appear, the osteopath acts gently by relieving sore areas. Thus, it allows young people to move and grow by exploiting their full potential.
