Why Craniosacral therapy for Babies and Children?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is particularly relevant for mothers, babies and children for several reasons:

• It is gentle and non-invasive.


• Babies can be treated whilst asleep, feeding, or cradled in arms, fully clothed.


• Early treatment on young babies can help avoid allergies, fussiness, colic, and feeding or sleeping difficulties.


• (CST) is highly effective in relieving many childhood conditions - especially dealing with birth trauma (compressive forces exerted on the skull and pelvis, and the shock of a traumatic birth), with its many possible physical and psycho-emotional consequences.


• Establishing healthy patterns at an early age sets patterns for the whole future of your child; developing their skills and abilities, improving their nature and constitution, and maximising their innate potential.


• CST for the new mother can help realign the pelvis and sacrum after the rigors of birth, calming down the nervous system, easing fatigue and post-natal depression.
  Many mothers are exhausted after giving birth and don’t have much time to themselves and to recover. CST is able to support them at this time and help to build their resources to better cope with everyday life.
