YOUR FIRST APPOINTMENT
What to Expect
|
The Initial appointment includes a detailed health history intake including conception, pregnancy and of course their birth-story, and where they are now. Then I gently assess them and begin to treat. I typically work inside the mouth as it helps your baby with feeding, sucking and other issues. Sucking also creates slack in the system so their bodies can just more quickly. Infants can be treated while resting on the table or in the comfort of the parent's arms or practitioner’s lap. At the end of the session, I may also give stretches to keep working with babies tissue tensions (or fascial constrictions), so that you can be an integral part of the process.
*This will also help for you to see benefits faster. You may notice shifts within your baby which may present as the ability to turn their head both ways, they may be less fussy while nursing, or have an easier time passing gas or making a bowel movement. Sometimes babies release emotions or cry during treatments, but craniosacral techniques are very gentle and do not hurt. The comfort of the baby and the caregiver is my #1 priority. |
Work can be done while baby is nursing, playing, or even getting a diaper change!
How Does it Feel?
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle form of body work used to release tissues within the body at any age, even as young as a few minutes old.
The position of a baby within the womb, coupled with events during the birthing process (vaginal or belly) is where muscle tension begins.
Muscle and tissue tensions can cause a baby to experience a number of symptoms, including, but not limited to, shallow latch; head preferring to turn to one side; breast preference while feeding; back arching; trouble burping and/or passing gas.

The Science Behind the Techniques
|
This treatment was developed by Dr. John E. Upledger, an Osteopathic Practitioner. Through his extensive research at Michigan State University and many years of clinical testing, Upledger found that using as little as 5g of pressure (about the weight of a nickel) was enough to release tissues from head to toe, thus allowing the body to move freely and promote healing.
Since the techniques are so incredibly gentle, they are even safe for infants to receive. Refer to this article, written by Dr Upledger, on his clinical findings on craniosacral for infants.

Benefits
Results vary from baby to baby, but just one treatment may relieve them of quite a few of their symptoms.
Benefits may include easier weight gain, elimination of ear infections, elimination of reflux symptoms, or longer stretches of sleep.
Most babies experience noticeable results immediately – have a deeper, less painful latch; stop clicking while feeding; or have a noticeable change in head-shape.
