Cranio-sacral Therapy (CST) For Babies & Children

For a CST Practitioner, treating young babies and children is undoubtedly one of the most rewarding experiences. Babies tend to respond very quickly and effectively to treatment especially for conditions like colic and sleeplessness. Just as a seed can be nurtured to grow into a healthy plant, a baby with the gentlest of encouragement can be helped to release the stresses and trauma of the birth process and avoid possible physical and psychological difficulty later in life. Craniosacral Therapy can also be extremely helpful for mothers during pregnancy improving comfort by assisting the body in adapting to the growing foetus and helping to normalize hormonal imbalance and also after the birth as the body readjusts.

The Journey of Birth

Each type of birth; ventouse extraction, forceps or Caesarean delivery has its own compressive patterns on a baby’s body, especially its head. Even in natural and apparently problem-free births the compressive forces experienced by the baby as a result of the passage through the pelvis and the tight fit in the birth canal, can cause an imbalance in a baby's system. This can interfere with healthy cranial nerve function and many common problems such as colic, sucking problems and respiratory difficulties may be due to compression arising from birth trauma. If left untreated they can form a negative pattern and develop later into childhood conditions such as constipation, regular tummy upset or just an unsettled child. CST can help resolve the physical and emotional issues arising from a difficult birth. Conditions helped include:

Unsettled/hard to soothe
Constipation

Colic & Reflux
Birth trauma

Sleeping issues
Difficult latching

Growing Up:

It can be equally beneficial for children to have paediatric CST periodically throughout childhood as they adapt to the process of growing up. For example children can be extremely distressed if they are unable to keep up with their peers in the educational setting. This particularly applies to children of average intelligence and above. Difficulties can sap confidence and lead to a fear of school and failure. Some may seek to avoid school or develop adverse behaviours to mask the difficulties and some may plod on but feel sadness inside them. CST can have a positive effect on a child's physical and mental development by creating an environment and opportunity for them to express the difficulties they experience. Conditions helped include:

Behavioural difficulties
Neuro-Developmental Delay
Ear & chest infections

Birth trauma
Sleeping issues
Learning difficulties

Bed wetting
Constipation
