Craniosacral Therapy and Osteopathy for Babies, Children and Mothers
Babies
Craniosacral therapy’s light, gentle and safe touch is perfect for newborns and babies. Treatments can be performed at any stage in a baby’s development. As well as correcting known symptoms, treatments can be helpful in ensuring better growth and preventing issues arising later in life, even in cases of problem-free births.
Most common infantile disorders can be addressed with osteopathy or craniosacral therapy, in particular:
- Crying to excess
- Insomnia
- Physical pain and dysfunction
- Hyperirritability of the nervous system
- Respiratory distress
- Excessive regurgitation and bowel dysfunction (colic, diarrhea, constipation, reflux etc.)
- Sucking and breast feeding difficulties
- Otitis, sinusitis
- Motor-coordination impairments
- Asymmetry of cranium
- Behavioral difficulties

SomatoEmotional Release - an offshoot of craniosacral therapy- is effective at reversing the impact of emotional stress and trauma onto the baby’s physical health and growth. Emotional stress can be the result of the baby’s own birth or that of the mother’s stress during pregnancy and delivery.
