A child grows quickly, falls, gets hurt, changes posture. I see children and teenagers with gentle osteopathy, adapted to their age. My training in pediatric osteopathy allows me to support them with everyday niggles as well as after an injury. My support complements the follow-up by your pediatrician or doctor.
For which situations?
- Falls and injuries.
- Sprains.
- After fractures, once medical care is finished.
- Posture and growth, including for children being monitored for scoliosis, alongside their medical follow-up.
- Support during orthodontic treatment.
- Tension and restless sleep.
Orthodontics and the jaw
I have developed an osteopathic approach related to orthodontics and the jaw (TMJ). Your child remains under the care of their orthodontist; osteopathy is in addition to their treatment.
See a doctor first
After a fall or a significant blow, see a doctor first to rule out a fracture. Also seek medical advice without delay in case of:
- persistent fever;
- severe pain that wakes the child at night;
- a child who limps or refuses to put weight on a limb;
- unusual tiredness or lasting loss of appetite.
Osteopathy does not replace medical advice or treatment.
The consultation
A consultation lasts 45 minutes: a discussion with the child and their parents, a clinical examination, then osteopathic tests and treatment with tailored practical advice. Parents are welcome during the session.

Frequently asked questions
From what age can I bring my child?
I see children of all ages, from infants to teenagers. For babies, see the infants page.
My child wears braces: can we still come?
Yes. I can support them during their orthodontic treatment, which remains under their orthodontist’s care.
My child has had a fall: should we come straight away?
See a doctor first if the blow was significant or if the pain persists. I can then support their recovery.
Does osteopathy replace follow-up with the pediatrician?
No. It is practiced as a complement.
