Pediatric Osteopathy Consultation
Lisbon | Paço de Arcos
Pediatric osteopathy is a gentle, non-invasive and highly effective approach to promoting the balance of the body's various systems as a whole, preventing complications and supporting the healthy development of babies and children.
What is the Pediatric Osteopathy Consultation?
A Pediatric Osteopathy is a specialty of osteopathy focused on babies, children and adolescents. It uses gentle manual techniques to assess and correct structural and functional imbalances that may arise during pregnancy, childbirth or growth.
The first months and years of life are crucial stages of development. Difficult births, the use of forceps or suction cups, changes in posture or minor dysfunctions can lead to discomfort or delays that impact on children's well-being and development.
Pediatric osteopathy helps:
- Relieve tension and physical discomfort
- Supporting motor and postural development
- Promote digestive, respiratory and sleep health
- Prevent future complications
All through a soft, safe touch adapted to the age and condition of each child.
