Paediatric osteopathy<\/p>\n<\/h1>\n
Listening to the family, respecting your child\u2019s pace<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
Every child is different. That is why osteopathic care for children begins by listening to the family and considering the child\u2019s age, development and reason for the visit.<\/p>\n
At my practice in Palafrugell, I want to understand what you have noticed, how your child is feeling and what advice you have received from their paediatrician. From there, we can assess whether hands-on care is appropriate for your child.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Their assessment will help guide care and determine whether paediatric physiotherapy or another intervention is needed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Foto de Omar Lopez<\/a> en Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n We begin by discussing your concerns and your child\u2019s health history. I then observe their movements and, where appropriate, carry out an examination adapted to their age.<\/p>\n Before any hands-on contact, I explain what I propose to do and ask for consent from a parent or legal guardian. I also pay attention to your child\u2019s willingness to participate and how they express comfort or refusal.<\/p>\n The session proceeds calmly, with breaks whenever needed. If your child shows discomfort or does not want to continue, we stop the examination and decide together how to proceed.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Foto de Christian Bowen<\/a> en Unsplash<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n A caesarean section, a prolonged labour or the use of forceps or a ventouse does not, on its own, mean that a baby needs osteopathic treatment.<\/p>\n If you have concerns, discuss them with your paediatrician. Any decision about complementary care should depend on your baby\u2019s condition and the assessment they have received.<\/p>\n Every pregnancy and birth is different. My intention is to listen and offer respectful support, without judging your family\u2019s circumstances or decisions.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Babies, young children and teenagers have different needs. Before suggesting any technique, I consider their age, individual situation and the available alternatives.<\/p>\n Evidence for the benefits of osteopathy in many childhood conditions is limited or insufficient. This care does not replace paediatric follow-up or treatment recommended by other professionals.<\/p>\n I do not perform spinal manipulation or mobilisation on babies. If I believe your child needs another assessment, I will explain why.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Send me a message with your child\u2019s age and the reason for your enquiry. I will let you know whether I can help or whether you should consult another professional first.<\/p>\n ASK A QUESTION ON WHATSAPP<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
