CranioSacral Therapy Services Infants
“As the twig is bent, so grows the tree.” This proverb is often associated with Dr Andrew Still, the founder of Osteopathy. He wanted to signify that early influences and experiences lay the groundwork for development. Pregnancy and delivery can cause tension and strain in the body of the mother and the baby. CranioSacral therapy can help babies release the strain patters so that can grow and function optimally.
CranioSacral therapy is a very gentle hands-on method of evaluating and treating the body.
We evaluate the body as a unit. Structure and function are interrelated- when structure is compromised, function will be as well.
When treating infants, I hold them on my lap, on a blanket or in parents’ arms. Parents are often surprised at how light and gentle the treatment is. I take pre and post photos like the ones here to share with parents the changes that occur.
CranioSacral therapy for babies can help with the following:
- Fussiness
- Feeding Difficulties
- Reflux
- “Colic”
- Torticollis & Plagiocephaly
- Sensory issue
- Not liking tummy time
Infants should receive CranioSacral regularly just as we see other health care professionals for checkups and maintenance.
