🌍️ September 17th is World Patient Safety Day, which is a campaign put on by the World Health Organization. This year's slogan is “Patient safety from the start!”

Every child has the right to safe, quality health care — from the very beginning.

Children aren’t small adults. They require individualized safe care. Qualified osteopathic practitioners deliver care that is safe and child-centered.

Children need care that fits them—their age, weight, developmental stage, medical needs, ability to communicate and specific context.

Pediatric osteopathy can help babies and children by using gentle, hands-on techniques to restore balance and mobility in the body's tissues and musculoskeletal system, supporting overall well-being and development. It addresses issues stemming from birth trauma, falls, and everyday strains, and can help with digestive problems like colic and reflux, sleep disturbances, respiratory issues, and postural problems. Osteopathic care can also aid in motor development and relieve tension, ultimately promoting a healthier and happier child.
