@oneosteo: Vacuum impacts your baby’s balance way beyond what one can think. Vacuum and forceps will impose pressures which will always go beyond what the skull as a material can absorb. In fact the pull will spread all along the spine and disturb the entire body, potentially leading to a skull deformation, disruption of latching, vomiting, disruption of the neck and lumbar reflexes, etc… What we call traumatic birth in Osteopathy has to do with the laws of Physics. A material (bones are a biological material) has two component: density and flexibility. The more one the less the other and vice-versa. How does a material reacts facing a force imposed on it ? - range of deformability: the material deforms and once the force is released, it goes back to its initial shape: this is a non-traumatic birth for us - Range of deformation: the forces will deform the material which won’t go back to its initial shape. All the example cited above - Fracture. Which unfortunately happens in some cases. #osteopathymalaysia #osteopathmalaysia #osteopathykl #osteopathytreatment #osteopathyhealth #malaysiahealthcare #naturalhealthmalaysia #wellnessmalaysia #baby #pediatrics #kids #development #babyinjury #birth #vacuuminjury
