Recurrent infections such as colds and chest infections

Many parents find osteopathy useful if their children are having constant illnesses such as colds and chest infections.

These children often have restrictions in the structures surrounding the lungs which can impede circulation and lymphatic drainage from the chest, making if more difficult for the lungs to function efficiently and get rid of the infection.

Treatment usually involves gentle treatment to the ribs and any surrounding soft tissue to remove these restrictions.  

My three year old daughter Madeleine had constant sinus infections and a continually runny nose since her birth. She has had only three treatments but I have already seen a significant improvement - no runny noses and no colds! (A.L. Albany)
