What can CranioSacral Therapy do for children?
CST offers a very gentle and nurturing soft tissue technique to encourage self-healing and self-correction in even the youngest ones. Newborns or fetuses still in utero can greatly benefit from this ever so healing touch. It strengthens the immune system, is safe, fosters easier and deeper breathing; encourages sound sleep and promotes healthy development.
Does your child have problems with:
colic
torticollis
chronic earinfections (otitis)
motor porblems
problems sleeping?
CST can help children with developmental delays relax and refocus so they can catch up with the other kids in their class.
It also helps moms and their newborn babies release the stress of birth so they can bond and enjoy their life together.
What does a therapy session with children look like?
It can feel like play time. During the session the child will most likely start out sitting or lying down on the table. If that is for some reason not possible, I will work around any obstacle....
I usually use toys or books to support the session. It really depends on the situation. Some beautiful pictures have been drawn during the times of treatment!!
The child is the leader during the session. The therapists main goal is to develop a wonderful rapport with the child with a very open and neutral way. There is so much appreciation for the openness, curiosity, enthusiasm and beauty of the little ones. I can say for myself that I always feel deeply grateful to be a part of the coming back into health process of a child.
Right after a release we can observe a moment of stillness, possibly tears or laughter followed by movement. The new body has to be tried out.... Sometimes children just fall asleep.
