Craniosacral Therapy for Children and Adolescents

Q: My child has difficulty sitting still or tends to fidget. Will this be a problem during the therapy session?

Not at all! We understand that children may have difficulty sitting still or have a tendency to fidget. We provide a child-friendly environment with books, toys, and fidgets to keep them engaged during the session. Once your child feels comfortable and establishes trust with the Jill and the therapy process, they often surprise us by cooperating and actively participating.

Q: How long does a session typically last for children and adolescents?

The duration of a session for children and adolescents can vary depending on their age, attention span, and treatment needs. Generally, sessions for this age group range from 30 to 60 minutes. Jill will determine the appropriate session length based on the child's individual requirements.

Q: How many sessions will my child or adolescent need?

The number of sessions required varies depending on the specific condition, progress, and treatment goals. Some children may show improvement after just a few sessions, while others may require ongoing treatment for more chronic or complex issues. Jill will discuss the recommended treatment plan and goals with you.

Promoting Relaxation and Stress Reduction

Why choose Craniosacral Therapy?

Children and adolescents often face various stressors in their lives, such as academic pressures, social challenges, and emotional changes. Craniosacral therapy provides a nurturing environment that helps promote deep relaxation and stress reduction.

By releasing tension and restrictions in the body, it allows the nervous system to recalibrate and find a state of balance.

This can contribute to a sense of calmness and improved overall well-being.

Supporting Emotional and Behavioral Health

Emotional and behavioural challenges are common among children and adolescents. Craniosacral therapy can provide valuable support for these issues. The therapy session offers a safe space for young individuals to express and process their emotions.

By addressing any physical or energetic imbalances in the craniosacral system, the treatment aims to facilitate emotional release and help restore a sense of inner harmony.

This approach can support young individuals in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, and other emotional difficulties they may be experiencing.

Improving Cognitive Function

Craniosacral therapy can also have a positive impact on cognitive function in children and adolescents. By optimizing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and reducing restrictions in the craniosacral system, this therapy may help enhance brain function and improve cognitive abilities.

It can support concentration, focus, memory, and overall cognitive performance. This aspect of craniosacral therapy can be particularly beneficial for individuals with learning disabilities, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and other cognitive challenges.
