Craniosacral for the Newborn
Newborns benefit profoundly from craniosacral therapy because of the intense pressures on the cranium and body dramatic passage through the birth process. Craniosacral bodywork for infants in the early postpartum period can prevent numerous breastfeeding challenges by enhancing their tongue thrust, sucking reflex and latch. Babies born by cesarean or instrument delivery are especially in need of craniosacral therapy to ease the unnatural forces that their bodies experienced in birth.
Parents may notice an immediate change n behavior or it may occur over time, depending upon the amount of shifting your newborn is doing or needs to do. Many times one treatment is enough, some babies may require several treatments.
Issues that can be treated:
* Breastfeeding Complications
* Colic
* Babies diagnosed with GastroEsophageal Reflux disorder (GERD)
* Torticollis
* Moderate to severe head moulding
* Twins and Breech Babies
* Sensitive or scared babies
* Hypertoned Babies
* Birth Trauma
At this time we are hoping to see less headaches, immune disorders, jaw and neck problems, digestive problems and perhaps much more in adults who received craniosacral treatment as babies.
Infants and Children respond amazingly to Craniosacral and Myofascial therapy.
I have been working on infants for the last 15 years while working as a midwife.
The positioning in utero and the birth process can cause stress on a newborn's body
that these two modalities can relieve.
Is your baby having difficulty breastfeeding, bottle feeding, colicky, sleep issues, or
just generally uncomfortable in their body?
Do you notice:
Raised shoulders
Jaw is tight and/or recessed
Red marks or tight bands on their body
Clenched fists or curled toes
Rolling to their side
Disliking Tummy Time
Theses are just some of the symptoms of a high tension baby who could benefit from Craniosacral and Myofascial treatment
Is your toddler or school age child experiencing anxiety, difficulty sleeping, jaw pain, headaches, digestive issues
or any other complaints?
In home sessions are particularly beneficial for children in that it allows them to be relaxed in their own environment. Sessions are managed to suit their needs and allow the child to walk away and return if needed to integrate the shifts in their body.
