Craniosacral therapy

Paediatric Cranio-sacral therapy (CST) is a specialized area of treatment usually dealing with infants and children from 0 to around 9 years of age.

Treatment can be effective for any of the following conditions, just to name a few:

Colic
Reflux
Digestive and elimination issues (bladder and bowel)
Sucking problems
Projectile vomiting
Torticollis
Movement difficulties
Emotional issues
Spinal mal-alignment
Distorted head shape (from forceps and ventuse delivery; overuse of one sleeping position; the delivery process and vertebro-cranial relationship)
Sensory integration problems
Hyperactive behaviour
Problems arising from maternal illness or toxicity during pregnancy.

Paediatric CST and visceral techniques (see the visceral section in the drop down menu) utilize gentle techniques in order to encourage the child’s body to self correct towards a healthy state of being.

It is good at relieving the abovementioned conditions when they are caused by restrictions to the Dura Mater (one of the membranes around the spinal cord and brain) from lesions of the skull, spine, sacrum or toxicity.
