Craniosacral Therapy for Infants
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive approach that is gentle, yet powerful, when used to treat babies and children. For some infants, the birth process can generate mild to severe central nervous system compromises, most of which can develop during pregnancy. Using a light touch throughout the body, the therapist monitors the rhythm of the fluid that flowing around the central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) to detect restrictions. Delicate hands-on techniques are used to release those restrictions. Sessions can be given laying down, sitting on a parent's lap, or while breastfeeding. These treatments may be done in the privacy of your own home, or at the clinic.
