Children’s problems that can be treated with massage therapy
Massage for babies and children soothes the circulatory systems (blood, lymphatic, digestive, and respiratory), as well as the nervous system and balance centers (inner ear, brain). It strengthens the immune system and helps decongest sinuses by promoting the expulsion of mucus. It also relieves toothaches, certain forms of colic and constipation. Massage in young children develops trust between the baby and the adults who care for them, thus relieving stress. It also helps the baby sleep better.

Problems that can benefit from osteopathic treatment
Osteopathy facilitates the liberation of infants’ and young children’s bodies from the tissue and structural limitations enabling them to develop freely and regain balance and health.
The phenomenon of birth causes several force constraints on the small, still malleable body of the newborn. Whether for prevention or to help the baby overcome various discomforts related to its first weeks of life, osteopathy will accompany your little ones.

Testimonials
My little 7-week-old baby had plagiocephaly… Such a panic! I’m now in good hands and I’ve met an osteopath and a physiotherapist who have guided me through the exercises to do, the positions to adopt with my child and now I feel much better equipped to deal with this problem. I’m convinced that everything will return to normal, because I can already see an improvement. Thanks to my little mother’s heart!
