Craniosacral therapy for infants and babies
Learn more about craniosacral therapy and how it can support you, your infant, and your family.
Just what exactly is craniosacral therapy (CST)?
Tension in the body’s fascia–connective tissue throughout the body–can prevent our own healing system from functioning optimally. Craniosacral therapy aims to find that tension in the fascia, and melt it away, resulting in a calmer, happier body, that just feels better.
How does CST support infant feeding?
Oral Motor Function
Babies use their whole bodies to eat. It’s more than just a tongue that does the work! CST can help babies use their jaw, cheeks, neck and tongue properly.
Nervous System Regulation
Our nervous system needs to be calm in order to rest and digest. CST can help a baby move between states, resulting in a happier baby.
Primal Reflexes
Babies are born ready to eat, but sometimes things aren’t working quite right. CST can bring awareness back to the body, helping it do what it needs to do.
Why might my baby need CST?
Infants and babies experiencing the following symptoms will probably benefit from craniosacral therapy (CST):
Torticollis (side preference)
Plagiocephaly (flattening on one side of the head)
Brachycephaly (flattening on the back of the head)
Latching issues/tight jaw
Excessive fussiness/colic
Tethered oral tissues (tongue tie)
Infrequent bowel movements
Reflux/digestive issues
Tight/rigid posture
Discomfort in tummy time
Nursing parent experiences pain during latch/feed
Birth trauma
