Children’s osteopathy in Geneva
Promote your child’s well-being and development
Growth is an essential stage in your child’s development. It can be rapid or gradual, but can sometimes be accompanied by pain or occasional imbalances. Our osteopaths for children provide regular follow-up to help your child grow in the best possible conditions and avoid problems in adulthood.
Why consult an osteopath for your child?
Osteopathic treatment is particularly recommended to support growth and treat functional disorders. In children and adolescents, pathologies such as scoliosis or other static disorders (lordosis, kyphosis) are often the sign of a poorly adapted body. These problems can have a variety of origins:
- Visceral: internal tensions affecting posture.
- Traumatic: falls or sports-related injuries.
- Cranial: impacts on the skull affecting posture and balance.
The benefits of a consultation for your child
- Relieve pain associated with growth or sporting activities.
- Promote harmonious development by preventing functional disorders.
- Improve daily comfort: sleep, concentration, digestion.
- Prevent disorders in adulthood through appropriate follow-up.
