Osteopathy Care for Children and Babies in Ivanhoe
During development, your child experiences many traumas such as falls, accidents and sporting injuries that can interfere with the normal growing process of the musculoskeletal system throughout these years.
Osteopaths assess and treat conditions related to the musculoskeletal, nervous and circulatory systems of your child to enable your child to grow and develop free from restriction and imbalance.
Relinque Sports & Spinal Group has been caring for the development of babies and children with Osteopathy in Ivanhoe, Heidelberg, Fairfield, Eaglemont, Northcote and Kew for over 20 years. We are experienced in treating a wide range of problems in new born babies through to teenagers.
How Do Osteopaths Treat Children and Babies?
Osteopathy is a safe, gentle and effective form of treatment that focuses on a holistic approach to body. We use skilled palpatory assessment to diagnose and evaluate restrictions and dysfunction in your child’s musculoskeletal system.
There is no ‘cracking’ or forceful movements ever used in the treatment of babies and children at Relinque Sports & Spinal Group. We use safe and gentle techniques to effectively release the areas of restriction and strain within your child’s musculoskeletal system.
Osteopaths often work in conjunction with other health care professionals to gain the best outcome. Education will be offered on the various lifestyle factors that may be impacting on your child’s health.
