Babies & Children
"As you bend the branch, so the tree grows."
We place great importance on the well-being of our youngest patients and focus particularly on regular check-ups and the treatment of babies and toddlers. In our practice, we support the child's natural development and treat various health problems using a wide range of specialized examination and treatment methods.
Our department for babies and children offers gentle osteopathic techniques to release muscular tension and movement restrictions, as well as targeted physiotherapy exercises to promote motor development and correct postural abnormalities.
Through a sensitive and professional approach, which can also include targeted training if necessary, our therapists ensure that the health and well-being of the children are optimally supported.
Newborns and infants are particularly sensitive to osteopathic treatments, so great success can be achieved in the therapy and support of children. Through gentle touch, the osteopath can move the right levers in the child's body and thus contribute to healthy development.
Physiotherapy for infants and toddlers can help overcome motor development delays, promote muscle strength and mobility, improve coordination, and provide support for specific problems such as postural abnormalities or developmental disorders.
We have developed structured training programs specifically for young people (13-18 years old). These include mobility exercises, coordination training, and strength training under expert guidance. This creates the best conditions for healthy development and supports the physical fitness and well-being of our young people.
O-examinations
Osteopathic examinations offer a holistic complement to the medical well-child visits. While the medical well-child visits primarily focus on general physical and mental development as well as the early detection of diseases, osteopathic examinations aim to identify and treat functional disorders and blockages in the musculoskeletal system at an early stage. They support the child's natural development, promote self-healing, and can alleviate complaints such as digestive problems, sleep disorders, and motor limitations. This ensures comprehensive preventative healthcare.
