A gentle, safe approach
For babies there is no forced manipulation: the work uses very light pressure and gentle, painless mobilizations. Each session begins with a conversation about the pregnancy, the birth and your child's daily life, followed by a careful examination.
When to consult?
It is never too early. A consultation in the first weeks is often beneficial, but osteopathy can help at any stage of early childhood. If in doubt, talk to your pediatrician.
How does a session work?
A session lasts about 30 minutes. Your baby stays dressed as much as possible and can be fed or comforted at any time. The movements are gentle and respect your baby's rhythm.
Osteopathy does not replace medical care — it complements it.
