Children’s bodies are constantly growing and changing, and sometimes parents notice differences in posture, walking, or movement that raise questions or concerns. Dr. Emanuela Manea offers expert assessment of musculoskeletal issues in babies, toddlers, and young children, providing practical advice and referrals when needed.

What Can Dr. Manea Help With?

✅ Assessment of Head and Joint Postures in Infants
If your baby shows a preference for turning their head to one side or has joint tightness, Dr. Manea can evaluate the underlying cause and provide a personalised home stretching programme to encourage balanced movement.

✅ Evaluation of Leg Rotation and Alignment in Toddlers
For toddlers with bow legs, knock knees, or in-toeing, Dr. Manea offers a thorough assessment and, if necessary, referral to physiotherapy or orthopaedic services to ensure proper development.

✅ Advice on Toe Walking
Some children walk on their toes beyond the toddler stage, which can be a normal variation or a sign of an underlying issue. Dr. Manea evaluates the cause and offers guidance or referrals if intervention is needed.

Why Early Assessment Matters

Musculoskeletal issues often improve on their own with time, but early evaluation helps rule out underlying conditions and ensures that any needed interventions are started promptly. Dr. Manea works closely with parents, providing reassurance, practical home advice, and trusted referrals when necessary.
