Craniosacral Therapy for Babies
Supporting Your Baby’s Well-being through Gentle, Non-Invasive Care
Why choose Craniosacral Therapy for your baby?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) serves a crucial role in supporting babies' well-being.
It works by identifying and releasing any restrictive patterns that may have developed during their birth or in the womb's final weeks.
By addressing these patterns early, CST can help prevent potential long-term impacts on a baby's health, making it a vital instrument in promoting their overall health and happiness.
How can Craniosacral Treatment help babies?
When babies are born, they face considerable pressure on their delicate cranium and body.
Compressions and forces from the birth can leave tension patterns on the body and associating nerves, especially in the cranium. These patterns may manifest as:
- unsettled behavior,
- excessive crying,
- disrupted sleep patterns,
- digestive and bowel problems,
- reflux and colic.
That's where Craniosacral Therapy (CST) steps in to lend a helping hand during the early postpartum period. This gentle therapy can bring a host of benefits to infants, making their transition into the world a little smoother. Indications that your baby may benefit from CST:
Breastfeeding and Bottle-feeding challenges
Jill views feeding as a whole body movement.
CST can firstly address tensions in the body that may be influencing incorrect movement patterns of the neck, jaw and tongue.
It can then release any compressions on the nerves into the same areas and enhance the sucking reflex, and latch, thereby assisting various difficulties associated with feeding.
Babies delivered through interventions like forceps, vacuum-assisted (vontoose), or C-sections often carry stress from the unnatural forces applied to their bodies. However, offering relief from these interventions can have a soothing effect and contribute to their overall well-being.
Bonding is a crucial aspect during the birth and subsequent days and weeks for families. However, this period can sometimes become challenging, causing stress within the family dynamic and leaving everyone feeling on edge and disconnected.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) can provide valuable support by alleviating stress and tension between parents (Mum and/or Dad) and the baby, ultimately helping to restore balance within the family system.
