Physiotherapy for children and adolescents from 6 years of age

In my practice, I focus on jaw, head, and neck pain – an issue that affects not only adults but also frequently children and adolescents. Therefore, this is also my main area of work with young patients.

From the age of six, children can receive individualized and age-appropriate treatment from me. The focus is on osteopathic approaches, respiratory physiotherapy, treatment of all orofacial structures and the tongue, and targeted jaw exercises. The goal is to release muscular tension, learn breathing exercises, stabilize jaw posture, and improve mobility in the head and neck area.

An important part of my work is close collaboration with speech therapists and dentists. This allows us to provide targeted support for the oral, jaw, and facial muscles in cases of myofunctional disorders or during orthodontic treatment, and to prevent postural problems.

  Please note:
  I am not a pediatric osteopath and I do not treat infants.
  
  I currently do not treat the following areas (or only by prior arrangement): scoliosis therapy, neurological disorders, major orthopedic deformities, postoperative therapy after surgery, or specialized sports physiotherapy. In these cases, I am happy to refer you to experienced colleagues. My work focuses on jaw, head, and neck pain, myofunctional disorders, orthodontic treatment, headaches, migraines, dizziness, torticollis, and cervical syndromes in children aged 6 and older.
  
  I only treat children under 6 years of age after individual consultation, as therapy at this age needs to be specially adapted. In these cases, I recommend contacting me by phone so we can discuss whether and how treatment would be appropriate.
