Manual Treatments for Newborns and Children

Children are not just mini-adults. Their development unfolds on many different levels. They grow, learn to walk, talk, and so much more. These complex processes all contribute to children growing into independent individuals.

However, physical tensions arising during birth, for example from vacuum extraction, forceps delivery, or a cesarean section, or even from falls during early childhood, can impair a child's optimal development. These tensions can lead to discomfort, asymmetrical development, stomach pain, overextension, unexplained crying, and other symptoms.

Interestingly, these tensions can still be felt well into adulthood.

A study by Dr. Frymann from the USA found that 80% of babies do not have optimal mobility of the cranial bones. These babies try to compensate for the restriction by crying more and sucking harder. Some infants, however, are unable to resolve these restrictions on their own and need additional support.

I work with gentle yet targeted techniques, always tailored specifically to your child. Drawing on methods from Clinical Reflexology, osteopathy, and craniosacral therapy. This allows me to release tension in the body, improve mobility, and naturally support your child's healthy development.

Rotational and compressive movements during birth

The rotational and compression movements during birth can be the cause of deformations of the skull bones and restrictions in the mobility of the spine.

Indications in newborn development

Possible Issues During Pregnancy, Birth, and Early Childhood:

  • Problems During Pregnancy and Birth
    Twins, very long or rapid deliveries, breech position, transverse position, birth with vacuum extraction, forceps, or emergency C-section
  • Support After Vaccinations or Antibiotics 
  • Regulatory and Developmental Challenges
    • Crying Babies – Regulation Difficulties
    • Torticollis – Preferred Positions
  • Regulatory and Developmental Challenges
    • KISS Syndrome – Cranial Asymmetry
    • Asymmetrical Motor Development
    • Restricted Range of Motion
  • Nutrition and Digestion
    • Breastfeeding Challenges: Frequent choking, spitting up, reflux
    • Digestive Problems: Bloating, diarrhea, constipation, colic
  • Supportive Treatment for Conventional Therapies:
    Such as hip dysplasia, physiotherapy, helmet therapy

As the baby grows, the skull bones begin to mineralize and become firmer. Therefore, it is advisable to schedule a check-up as early as possible, ideally between the 2nd and 6th week after birth.

Preventive measures, such as repositioning and targeted exercises, can be integrated into daily routines early on. However, treatments can be initiated at any time to support your child’s optimal development.
