Osteopathy for Children
Help with growing bodies, sports injuries, headaches and posture problems.
Osteopathy Specially for Children
Children are not small adults - their body is still fully developing. Due to this rapid growth, tensions and blockages can arise that cause complaints. The body must constantly adapt to growth, new movement patterns and the demands placed at school and during sports.
Osteopathy can help keep your child's body in balance during this important developmental phase. By addressing small problems early, we can prevent them from growing into larger complaints.
Common Complaints
In children I regularly see the following complaints:
Physical Complaints
- Recurring ear infections
- Headaches and neck pain
- Abdominal pain and constipation
- Posture problems
- Sports injuries
Developmental Complaints
- Concentration problems
- Poor sleep
- Hyperactivity (ADHD)
- Learning problems
- Behavioral problems
The Treatment
During the first consultation, I take plenty of time to get to know your child and discuss the complaints. It is important that your child feels at ease. I explain what I am going to do and involve your child in the treatment.
The treatment consists of gentle mobilizations and manipulations tailored to your child's age. With older children, I can explain what I do and why. The treatment is not painful and lasts approximately 30-45 minutes.
Preventive Care
Osteopathy is not only suitable for treating complaints, but also preventively. A periodic check-up can help to identify and treat small problems early, before they grow into larger complaints. This is especially useful for children who play a lot of sports or grow quickly.
