Osteopathy in pregnancy

Pregnancy is a very important time in a woman's life made of great changes. At the structural level, it is important to allow a harmonious adaptation to the body throughout the nine months of growth of the future unborn child in order to avoid pain and tension and to better cope with childbirth and even the postpartum period.

Why use osteopathy in pregnancy? During pregnancy there are major postural changes (the baby growing in the womb and the increase in breast volume create a shift in the center of gravity and the accentuation of the curves of the spine) that are often accompanied by various symptoms and pains. Osteopathy prevents pain and contractures, decreases tensions that can go to bother the baby's descent down the uterine canal, facilitating respiratory function, improving any circulatory and stasis problems, eliminating musculoskeletal blockages, and releasing stress and emotional tension. Specific work on the small pelvis and diaphragm will facilitate delivery.

Osteopathy for newborns

Osteopathy accompanies the infant and child through growth and the various stages of development when there is asymmetry or delay in motor and non-motor acquisitions. Childbirth In the short but very stressful journey to the outside world, the baby's head, which has soft, malleable bones at this time, becomes deformed. For this reason, many infants have an odd skull shape due to the difficult labor (elongated skull, a more closed eye, asymmetric ears).

Osteopathy and functional orthodontics in children

A healthy mouth is a mouth that fulfills all its many functions: chewing, swallowing, phonation, breathing, lip closure and tongue position. Osteopathic pre-orthodontic treatment This is the osteopathic treatment that begins in the age group prior to the age when the dentist (orthodontic specialist) usually applies braces, that is, between the ages of 6 and 11. This period coincides with the mixed dentition phase (milk and definitive teeth coexist) and it is at this time that osteopathy, through specific cranial techniques, can influence the primary bone growth centers and prevent the establishment of abnormalities of the masticatory system (malocclusion).
