Babies
Craniosacral therapy is particularly relevant for babies and children for several reasons:
- It is so gentle and non-
invasive. Babies can be treated while asleep, feeding or cradled in their mother's arms - there is no need to disturb them by undressing them. - Craniosacral therapy is particularly effective at relieving many common childhood conditions, including colic, ear infections, poor sleep, restlessness and many others.
- Craniosacral therapy is uniquely effective in dealing with the effects of the birth process -
both the compressive forces exerted on the skull and the shock effect of a traumatic birth - with its many possible consequences such as dyslexia, learning difficulties, hyperactivity, behavioural disorders, and epilepsy
By ironing out the various effects of injury and illness as they develop, craniosacral therapy can create a balanced and well integrated physical, mental and emotional state. This should ensure that your child not only enjoys a happier, healthier childhood, but also grows up to make maximum use of their potential.
Once any fundamental problems have been resolved, we recommend regular checkups -

Reasons to bring your baby will include colic, sleeping and feeding difficulties (including reflux, posseting and retained wind); unexplained behaviour; and digestive issues such as infrequent, irregular or catastrophic nappy changes. Mothers should also not neglect themselves in the days, weeks and months after birth.
