Growth spurts in children

It’s the time of year when I feel most sympathetic towards children…

• Growth Spurts

• Exams and end of term tests

• Hayfever and allergies

• Life!

If your children are struggling as the Spring energies result in massive growth spurts and other mental, hormonal and emotional developmental changes all at the same time – it can be really tough.

Added to that school pressures, social pressures and tree / grass pollens for those who are especially sensitive, and its a perfect storm!

Osteopathy has a big role to play at this time to help the body, hormones, blood supplies balance out better, and to stay in alignment.

Plus, 1-2-1 talking with the young person (sometimes with the parents out of ear shot if that helps) can make a big difference to how they  process what is happening to them. Being listened to can be a “big deal” I have been told – and it is a skill that takes a lot of practice to get it right.

For those who are sceptics – (good – I like a questioning mind!) – of course! Growth spurts slow down of their own accord – but that DOES NOT mean that the body is in alignment or balanced, just that the extremes reduce.

Please, bring your young person in for a detailed osteopathic check up with Gayle Palmer.
