The physical stress of birth serves to ignite vital functions that we need to grow and thrive in our world. The mechanics of birth - the compression of the birth canal, hormonal cascades, bacterial exposure, and many other small but powerful processes -- lay the foundation for baby’s needs outside of the womb. The potential for all these needs to be met during birth are there in every birth - medicated, home birth, emergency or planned c-section - every birth is unique, and every mother/baby pair respond as they need to in that moment.
Hands-on treatment seeks the roots of even mild disruptions in the birth process to bring baby back to a more easeful physiological state. This clinic day is to address common new infant concerns like colic, sleep difficulties, neck torticollis, and feeding and digesting difficulties that can often rule the first few months of life. It also serves to introduce our parenting community to the power of osteopathic treatment in helping ease baby’s (and parents’ too!) worries and woes.
