Babies That Have Stiff Backs

When babies arch their backs or are able to hold their neck up making it look like they have a
‘strong’ neck. These presentations are a sign of excessive stress in their tissues from maybe a long
birth, been stuck for a long period whilst contractions took place or a cord wrapped around their
neck.
These problems can lead to crankiness, sleeplessness, and in-ability to lie on their back. Osteopathic
treatment can help babies be free from this stress, pain and discomfort. We work with the shock
and restrictions developed during labour using different techniques including cranial techniques.
