Pediatric Osteopathy
Pediatric Osteopathy is a specialty that helps the child or baby grow and develop in the best possible health conditions.
When may my child need Pediatric Osteopathy?
- Children born by cesarean section.
- Births with instruments, type spatulas, forceps.
- Very long deliveries.
- If the baby wears cord wraps at birth.
- If it presents a position other than the cephalic (for example, if it is breech). In all these last cases there is a physical aggression, which can make the baby's very elastic tissues become stressed, losing the capacity for elasticity and movement. Osteopathy tries to restore the elasticity and natural movement of the tissues.
- If the mother, during pregnancy, has been medicated, has suffered stress or stimulated with oxytocin for a faster or programmed delivery, she will create a hard plane (her diaphragm) where she will hit the baby hard (less comfortable room) creating secondary tensions.
- If the mother has been in bed for a long time or has maintained absolute rest, there may be a temporary development deficit (ear zone, since it develops with movement). There will tend to be problems with hearing or drainage from the ear (recurrent otitis…).
- In cesarean or very rapid deliveries, the pressure change is very abrupt and the baby does not expect it. Secondary tensions can be created or the baby has become frightened, creating spasm of the diaphragm and a feeling of instability. All these things can have repercussions creating dependency in the child, sleep problems, irritability, constipation problems or other digestive problems ...
- During the growth of the child, any traumatic fall, blow, or emotional shock may also create tensions at the cranial level, diaphragm or other structures, which will affect their growth. Eg. A fall on one knee can cause it to not move correctly and, therefore, the growth of that leg is irregular or less, which can create a lower limb loss (leg longer than the other) and secondary scoliosis.
- A vaccine, a strong infection can also affect the baby's tissue diagram or mobility. If there is no correct mobility, there will not be adequate drainage either (accumulation of mucus, bronchitis, for example).
Indications for Pediatric Osteopathy
- Systematic review of babies born by cesarean section, with the help of instruments, in prolonged or provoked deliveries or if there has been fetal distress. After three weeks of birth.
- Irritable babies, who cry a lot, who don't sleep well.
- Baby colic, constipation, gas, cephalic asymmetries (disproportions, more closed eye), tear duct involvement, torticollis.
- Sinusitis, otitis, recurrent bronchitis.
- Dependent, scary children.
- Vertigo, headaches in children.
- Growing problems.
- Precocious menses.
- Nocturnal urinary incontinence.
- Abnormality, deformity in extremities (knees, hips, feet), joint pain outside the growth peaks.
- General growth check every 6 months between 2 and 12 years.

Helen Bonetti
Registered Osteopath no. 437
I´m a registered osteopath specialized in removing pain with mechanical, joint, muscular and nervous system manipulation techniques for adults and the elderly, children, and babies.
Elisabeth Modalen
Professional and graduate; ROE (Spanish osteopathic register)
I am an osteopath with a bachelor degree in Osteopathy from the University of Oslo. I´m specialized in joint mobilization that is out of alignment, and spinal integration and alignment as all musculo-skeletal tissues dis-eased are interconnected; in this way I can relieve pain caused by inflammation and tensed muscles. I focus on building a positive relationship with my patients as I believe it will have an important impact on the outcome of the treatment.

I first met Helen outside of her practice, she very kindly looked at a problem I had with my foot, remarkably the following day it was a lot better with no swelling.
I have now been to see her a number of times for a back problem.
I would 100% highly recommend her.
Look forward to see you soon when back in September.

Elisabet is excellent at what she does, I had been to chiropractors before but never visited an Osteópata. I’m happy that I did, she managed to ease the pain that I have in my thoracic spine around the rhomboids. Highly recommend Elisabet to anyone that are tired of visiting doctors who doesn’t care. She showed attention from the moment I walked in and seems like she genuinely wants to find out the cause of ur pain.

Muy buenos profesionales. Se centran mucho en escuchar al paciente y buscar el origen del problema. Usan distintas técnicas, incluida la craneosacral y la kinesiología con puntos de acupuntura. Muy completo. Y la atención inmejorable. Yo siempre que voy lo noto y mejoro día a día. Y te dan consejos sobre qué ejercicios realizar o qué productos naturales tomar. Lo recomiendo al 100%.
