How can CranioSacral help my child?
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch therapy that is effective in supporting the central nervous system. By supporting the central nervous system and releasing restrictions throughout the body, CST has been shown to bring profound healing. Because it is so gentle, non-invasive and virtually risk-free, childrens of all ages can benefit from it. It is widely recognized that the birth process can generate mild to severe center nervous system abnormalities. CST carried out within the first few days of life can reduce a wide spectrum for health challenges. It can also address issues with tongue-tie, torticollis, head shape, infant anxiety and colic and more.

What to Expect in a Childs Session
In our office we seek to maintain a peaceful, healing atmosphere for you and your child. Parent are frequently encourage to be on the table with their children so that the child feels safe and secure. Children's reaction's to CST vary dramatically. Younger children may sleep and older children may be alert and playful. CST is very gentle and rarely causes physical discomfort. Children with birth or other traumas may feel the need to express their feelings and may cry. When this happens we may encourage this expression of emotions while also seeking to help them feel loved and safe. Parents always stay in
the room and participate in the child's session. We may ask the mother to comfort feed the child on the table and continue working during the feeding. Parents are encouraged
to bring blankets and toys that that children associate with
comfort to the their sessions. In general, many babies (0 - 8 weeks)
will fall asleep. Crawlers up to approximately age 5 may want to sit or
move during the session. Also bringing, small toys that distract and keep them
somewhat stationary can be helpful. We do work with moving targets and
accomplish as much as we can with these whirlwinds. Older children (6
and up)are usually comfortable laying down and may relax and fall
asleep. If they have anxiety about laying down, we never force them.
Since we are working with the child, it is important that we honor what
they want to do. Occasionally, the child may feel "done" before the end
of a session at that point we will allow them to get up and have their
parent or caregiver use up the remaining time or add it to the next
session.
