Paediatric Osteopathy in Marbella
Paediatric osteopathy is an approach within manual therapy adapted specifically for babies, infants, children and adolescents.
It focuses on assessing mobility and movement in the body’s tissues, including muscles, joints, ligaments and fascia, while taking into account each child’s age, development and individual needs.
The osteopath assesses flexibility, mobility and movement, using gentle manual techniques adapted to the child.
During pregnancy and childbirth, whether through vaginal delivery or caesarean section, babies may experience different physical pressures and positions. Any concerns about a baby’s head shape, cranial development or physical wellbeing should be assessed by an appropriate healthcare professional.
