Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is great for all ages!
A little introduction -
CST is a light-touch form of bodywork that focuses on structures that surround the central nervous system. There are a series of contact points around the body that, with gentle pressure, can release tension and restrictions. People find CST to be very gentle and relaxing, and for those who do not respond well to deeper soft tissue therapy or traditional chiropractic adjustments, this is a great option.
CST is very successful at treating a variety of conditions for infants and children. Infants are often referred to our office for CST for pre and post frenectomy care.
Other reasons parents may seek CST for their children include:
colic
latching and feeding issues
Torticollis
arching/discomfort in the car seat
reflux
difficulty meeting motor milestones
Older children with sleep issues, bedwetting, anxiety and ADD/ADHD benefit from CST as well.
CST is effective with wiggly kids! Some kids have difficulty sitting still and that's ok! It can be done while children are seated on the floor playing with toys, being held by a parent or if they feel relaxed enough to lie on the treatment table.
Craniosacral therapy is currently being offered with Mallory (30 and 60 minute sessions) and as part of Dr. Brenda's chiropractic treatments.
Craniosacral therapy is one of our offerings for infants and kids.
