Patients' feedbacks
Special focus 1: Parental support
Particular attention is paid in this office to women and men who either have plans to become parents or have already become mothers and fathers and feel the need to talk about their quest or experience of parenthood to explore it, better understand it, reassure themselves and better trust themselves. I have indeed followed very specific professional training ( Formation professionnelle/ Professional training/التدريب المهني ) in order to best support parents in their difficulties and even their obstacles (before, during and after pregnancy). These include, for example, difficulties getting pregnant, fears about the baby's health, traumatic adverse events during pregnancy and/or delivery, perinatal bereavement, post-partum depression, difficulties bonding with the baby, relationship difficulties within the couple surrounding the arrival of the baby (etc.), or simply a need to be listened to at length, even if it is not directly related to parenthood.
Special focus 2: Babies' General Movements Evaluation
The Importance of Evaluating Babies’ General Movements
- Evaluating a baby’s general movements is one of the most valuable ways to understand how their nervous system is developing during the first months of life. Long before a child can sit, crawl, or speak, their body already “communicates” through spontaneous, whole‑body movements. These early movement patterns—often called general movements—are rich with information about how the brain and nerves are functioning.
- General movements are not random. Healthy babies show smooth, flowing, and varied motions that involve the whole body. These movements change naturally as the baby grows, becoming more complex and coordinated. When these patterns look different—too stiff, too jerky, too small, or too repetitive—it can be an early sign that the brain is not developing typically.
- What makes general‑movement evaluation so important is that it allows professionals to detect potential developmental challenges very early, sometimes months before other signs appear. This early window is crucial. The younger the baby, the more adaptable their brain is, and the more effective early support and therapy can be. Identifying concerns early means families can receive guidance, reassurance, and timely interventions that may significantly improve long‑term outcomes.
- Beyond identifying risks, observing general movements also helps parents understand their baby better. It highlights how capable newborns already are and how closely their bodies reflect their well‑being. For many families, this evaluation becomes a meaningful way to connect with their child’s development and feel empowered in supporting their growth.
- In essence, evaluating general movements is a gentle, non‑invasive, and highly informative method that gives babies the best chance to thrive by recognising their needs early and clearly.

Special focus 3: Autism early detection in new borns & Diagnostic and therapy of Autism at any age
The Importance of Evaluating Babies’ General Movements and Its Link to Early Autism Detection
- General‑movement assessment is already well known for helping identify risks for motor disorders, such as cerebral palsy, very early in life. But in recent years, researchers have also explored how these early movement patterns might relate to later social‑communication development, including autism. Autism cannot be diagnosed in newborns, but retrospective studies show that babies who later receive an autism diagnosis had differences in their early movement patterns. These differences may reflect how their brain processes sensory information and coordinates the body.
- It’s important to be clear: unusual general movements is **not** a diagnosis of autism. Instead, these observations can serve as early “signals” that a baby might benefit from closer developmental monitoring, that helps ensure babies receive the right support at the right time. When combined with other information—such as how a baby responds to faces, sounds, or social interaction—movement evaluation can help professionals identify children who may need early support.
- Early identification matters because the first years of life are a period of rapid brain growth. When families and professionals notice developmental differences early, they can offer guidance, stimulation, and supportive interactions that help the child thrive. For parents (often undermined by their child's difficulties), understanding their baby’s movement patterns, thanks to a necessary professional support, can also strengthen their confidence and deepen their connection with their child, which is extremely important for babies' social brain development .
- When a risk of autism is identified before the age of four months and effectively managed through a combination of sensorimotor therapy, osteopathy and parent-baby psychotherapy, the typical course of autism is deviated, leading to better academic and social adjustment.
However, when a diagnosis has already been made between the ages of 18 and 24 months, therapy is still possible to reduce the severity of autistic symptoms and provide the best possible personalised support for each child in terms of their communication, academic and social development.
