Symptom - Newborn baby, toddlers and young children
CranioSacral Therapy can be used to treat newborns, who have undergone difficult birth, or who are having problems settling or feeding. A child who has undergone stress, even through a natural birth, may benefit from this therapy. Additionally, children who have undergone forceps or ventouse birth may have shifts in the tiny bones of the skull, which are unable to re-align themselves naturally and can use alittle gentle help. If bones in the skull are left without correction their potential ill effects can last and maybe responsible for behavioural and developmental problems and tendencies towards depression in later life. Correcting anomalies in bone alignment early on may prevent the potential for this occurring.
If your toddler is exhibiting anxiety and struggles to settle and is clingy, he or she, may have experienced stress at birth, or falls and tumbles not really severe, but sufficient enough in impact to need a little help in bone alignment and in easing the stress factors controlling their behaviour. The stress factor and inability to conform to whats expected may also be present in a developing child, showing early tendencies in poor behaviour patterns.
Cranio Sacral Therapy is helpful to children on the autism spectrum, children given the label ADHD and ADD and other pervasive mental disorders.
