Osteopathy offers gentle and effective treatment for newborns, addressing the unique needs of infants in their earliest stages of life. The birthing process can put stress on a baby’s delicate body, leading to issues such as colic, reflux, sleep disturbances, and difficulties with feeding. Through soft and precise techniques, osteopathy aims to release tension, improve alignment, and support the natural development of the newborn’s musculoskeletal and nervous systems.

Giuliano's approach is grounded in a deep understanding of neonatal physiology and a compassionate commitment to the baby’s well-being. Osteopathy can be highly beneficial in treating common newborn conditions, including:

1. Birth Trauma
• Cranial compressions due to difficult deliveries or the use of forceps/vacuum.
• Congenital torticollis.
• Plagiocephaly (cranial asymmetry).
• Peripheral nerve injuries, such as brachial plexus paralysis.

2. Musculoskeletal Issues
• Limited mobility in the neck or limbs.
• Postural asymmetries.
• Sacroiliac dysfunctions caused by intrauterine positioning.

3. Digestive Disorders
• Gastroesophageal reflux (GER).
• Infant colic.
• Constipation.

4. Sleep Disturbances
• Difficulty sleeping.
• Restless or irregular sleep patterns.

5. Breastfeeding Challenges
• Problems with latching or sucking.
• Muscular tension in the craniofacial region, jaw, or tongue affecting feeding.

6. Mild Respiratory Disorders
• Persistent nasal congestion.
• Breathing difficulties related to diaphragm or rib cage compressions.

7. Excessive Crying and Irritability
• Often linked to physical discomfort or muscular tension.

8. Recurrent Ear Infections or Predisposition
• Related to drainage issues in the Eustachian tube.

9. Motor Development Issues
• Delays in reaching developmental milestones.
• Hypotonia or hypertonia.

How Does Osteopathy Help?
Osteopaths use gentle, non-invasive techniques, such as cranial manipulation, joint mobilization, and soft tissue release, to correct tensions or dysfunctions in the baby’s body. The goal is to restore functional balance, promote comfort, and support healthy development.

Through tailored, gentle care, Giuliano provides parents with peace of mind and infants with the opportunity to grow and develop in comfort. Osteopathy offers a non-invasive and natural approach to addressing early-life discomfort, setting a healthy foundation for the future.
