CranioSacral Therapy is particularly suited to babies and children. The pressure is very gentle, which is essential for touching their precious bodies. Birth can be traumatic for a baby, and the closer to the birth you get a CranioSacral assessment for your baby, the quicker the results. Often after birth, problems arise for babies – colic, poor digestion, crying, jerky movements, sleep problems, etc. Later on, children can develop learning difficulties, behavioural problems, headaches, speech development delays and trouble concentrating. A lot of these common issues can be helped by CranioSacral Therapy.
When CranioSacral Therapy is particularly indicated
When a newborn passes through the birth canal, it is compressed completely. Sometimes little bones end up at the wrong spot or slide over each other and stay stuck. This hinders the brain because there is not enough space to grow. Compression can also happen to the spinal column or at both places simultaneously. Our therapy looks for and finds these stuck places and we release them. Where ventouse or forceps had to be used, this creates even more pressure on the skull and babies will feel this pressure long after.
By putting our hands on the baby and connecting with its CranioSacral system, we give babies an enormous boost of energy and address any compression they may have – or when the natural birth process has been hindered by a C-Section.
