Did you know that cranial osteopathy can be used in babies to aid relaxation?
Eleni Vogt (Osteopath) in Brisbane’s Outer Eastern Suburbs is highly qualified to assess and treat your small baby for any discomfort they may be experiencing. Cranial osteopathy encourages the release of tension and stresses in the body and the head that may have been caused during the birth. Osteopaths hold and observe the baby, carefully manipulating the babies body to encourage it to function as it should.
Cranial osteopaths look to recognise any effects caused by the birth and release that pressure. They pay special attention on the base of the babies skull, as nerves to the tongue and guts may become irritated. This, in turn, may effect suckling and cause nausea.
There may also be a build up of pressure around the Temporal bone which houses the hearing apparatus. As well as this, the Eustachian tubes may become compressed during delivery, especially if forceps are used. This may lead to blocked ears and infection.
If someones body is subjected to strong compression or twisting forces, such as those experienced by the baby during birth, connective tissues (which are fascia, ligaments, muscles and bones) can become strained and skewed. As a result, the baby may feel uncomfortable. Osteopaths use apperceive senses to feel these strains and to gently release them.
Eleni regularly sees children of all ages, including babies, toddlers and school aged children and teenagers. At all stages in development, children go through enormous physical and emotional changes. We are here to discuss helping each individual on a case by case basis. Eleni posesses significant skills, knowledge and experience in working with children of all ages in particular. She has specialist skills and knowledge in the anatomy, examination, diagnosis and clinical management of babies, children and adults.
