Your baby was born via C-section?

Let’s gently explain why a little manual therapy can really make a difference...

1. Birth via C-section is a blessing... but also a shortcut.

No passage through the birth canal, no contractions, no "natural massage" of the skull and body. Result: some postural adjustments don’t happen completely.

2. Why is this important?Passing through the birth canal naturally mobilizes the skull, the spine, and the nervous system of the baby.This is called the occipito-sacral drive — a crucial step for body balance.

3. And without it?Nothing dramatic, but sometimes we observe:✔ A baby turning its head less to one side✔ Reflux issues✔ Restless sleep✔ A banana-shaped posture or flat head

4. Manual therapy can help.Gentle, non-intrusive techniques, respecting your baby's body, can: Release tension Rebalance postures Promote comfort and harmonious growth

5. When should you consult?As early as the first few weeks, gently, for a full assessment.Even if everything seems fine, a little check-up can prevent future compensations.

6. A birth gift that makes a difference.Offering a manual therapy assessment after a C-section is a gentle way to help your baby start life on the right foot.
