CranioSacral Therapy for Children

Babies

Babies who have had a difficult/fast/slow birth or via Caesarean can suffer with a variety of difficulties that make it hard for them to settle into a good routine and CranioSacral Therapy is a wonderfully gentle and non-invasive way of helping babies with such problems.

Young children & Teenagers

Young children respond very well to the gentle re-balancing of the CranioSacral system. All ages can be helped by this therapy.

  • Areas that Craniosacral Therapy for Babies can help…

    • fussy hard to soothe babies

    • babies who seem uncomfortable in their bodies, constantly fidgety or wriggling

    • digestive problems, constipation, reflux colic

    • any breast-feeding problems, latching on, making Mums nipples sore, constantly coming on and off the breast. All of this can be a sign of a poor suck reflex that can be helped with CST

    • babies who dislike intensely changing nappy or clothes

    • babies that favour turning their head in one direction, for feeding or sleeping. This could be due to restriction of neck movements following birth

    • over sensitive babies ie to noise

    • babies that hate tummy time

    • babies that cry a lot for no apparent reason

    • abnormal head shape

  • For a very young baby the treatment can be carried out either lying on the therapy couch or while being held by the Therapist or parent. Sometimes the babies do cry during the treatment which is a natural response.

    Young toddlers/children are often treated while they are playing sitting on the floor or on a parents lap.

    Once the child is happy to lie on the treatment couch, treatment will mainly be in lying.
