Paediatric osteopathy is a specialisation within osteopathy. In principle, there are no major differences between the treatment of adults and infants. Nevertheless, it is advisable to provide special care for new-borns, infants and children. Tensions and blockages, which are a great burden for babies and children, can upset the harmonious interaction of the small body.

Osteopathy is used to treat various problems, such as cranial deformities; problems with sleeping, sucking, swallowing; torticollis, neck problems, chronic headache, ear infections; digestive problems, colic; concentration and learning difficulties, tension, hyperactivity; allergies, etc.

An osteopathic examination is particularly recommended following difficult births, such as vacuum-assisted deliveries, forceps deliveries and caesarean sections. Gentle massages can be used to release any blockages that may have arisen. Hence, the osteopathic techniques with their holistic approach are especially child-friendly.
