Baby osteopathy in Geneva
Take care of your newborn
During childbirth, the baby is subjected to considerable pressure, particularly on the skull, even if the delivery is proceeding normally. These tensions can be accentuated in the case of long, rapid deliveries, or with the use of instruments such as forceps. These forces can cause temporary deformities of the skull or other tensions in the infant’s body.
Our osteopaths for babies intervene to relieve these tensions using gentle, adapted techniques. It helps restore the body’s equilibrium, prevents long-term disorders (such as colic or sleep disorders) and promotes harmonious development. Early consultation can therefore be beneficial in avoiding future complications.
The consequences of childbirth-related tensions
The tensions caused by childbirth can lead to a number of disorders in the baby:
- Digestive disorders: regurgitation, constipation, colic.
- Emotional disorders: nervousness, anxiety.
- Difficulty sleeping: restless or disturbed sleep.
These tissue tensions can be effectively treated by an osteopath specialized in babies. A consultation from the very first days of life can help alleviate these disorders and promote your child’s well-being.
