Children 0-12 y/o Initial Assessment and Treatment - 45 min.
Description
Parents/caregivers are welcomed and encouraged to stay during the entire visit of their child. On the Initial Visit we will review their health history together, followed by an assessment and treatment. Assessment and treatments are done fully clothed so I recommend your child wears comfortable clothing if possible. Making the little ones feel safe and comfortable during their visit is my main priority, please feel free to bring their favorite toy or book. Manual Osteopathy is a form of hands-on therapy that aims to restore the balance of the body and promote its natural healing processes. Based on the principle that the body’s structure and function are closely interrelated, Manual Osteopathy assesses and treats structural imbalances to support overall health. This is accomplished by the use of several gentle techniques that focus on different bodily systems, such as: - Osteo Articulation Techniques: help enhance alignment and joint mobility and flexibility without using any high velocity thrusts, but by gentle stretching, resistance and pressure of different joints including the pelvis, spine, and neck. - Soft Tissue Manipulations: manipulations of muscles to relieve tension, improve blood flow and boost toxin release. - Cranial Osteopathy: addresses the synarthrodial joints of the skull, the sacrum and relieves tension in the cranial membranes to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid that support the nervous system. - Visceral Manipulation: involves gentle manipulations of the ligamentous/fascial attachments of the organs to improve their function. - Fascia Release and Remodelling: helps relieve tension in the fascia, a network of connective tissue along the body that surrounds every structure. Manual Osteopathy can provide benefits for all ages, from newborns to the elderly.
