Children
Children like to jump, dance, skip, climb, and to accomplish all these activities, a good mobility of the structures of the human body is required. Some dysfunctions may appear harmlessly during the child’s development or following an incident such as a fall. Some minor dysfunctions, only in appearance, may be the cause of major dysfunctions in adulthood. If they are not addressed at an early age during childhood, a poor adaptation of the body could result in postural disabilities. Consulting an osteopath during a child’s development may reduce the incidence of functional disabilities and medical support a child will need throughout his life.
