craniosacral therapy

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle form of bodywork used to release tension within your little one's body.

Muscle and tissue tensions can start from the position of a baby within the womb, during the birthing process or after birth. This tension can cause a baby to experience a shallow latch, head preferring to turn to one side, breast preference while feeding, back arching, trouble burping and/or passing gas, among others.

Benefits may include easier weight gain, elimination of reflux symptoms, longer stretches of sleep, less fussiness at the breast, an easier time passing gas, a better outcome after a tongue-tie release and better feedings (breast, bottle or solids).

Since the techniques are so incredibly gentle, they are safe for infants to receive! Book an appointment today and see how your baby loves it!

what to expect in a craniosacral therapy session

a thorough health history

Prior to your baby's session, we'll ask questions about pregnancy, birth, medical history and mother's and baby's wellbeing including baby's feeding, sleep and growth. This will be made via an online questionnaire through a secure online system to keep all of your information confidential and safe.

a body assessment

We'll assess your baby's body to identify areas with tension, this include's an oral exam where we'll assess suck and oral function. We might get your baby to move around and practice some tummy time to assess range of motion of the joints and his comfortability moving.

gentle treatment

We'll start this very gentle treatment which is going to look like a very gentle baby massage. Your baby might be feeding, playing or sleeping while we do it. Babies can rest on the practitioners lap, in a bed, a changing pad or on a parent's lap. The comfort of you and your are always our #1 priority.

homecare

We will demonstrate some exercises and techniques that you can do at home to help your little one releasing that tension. We'll make sure that you feel comfortable doing the exercises and will send you a document/email with some reminders.

Follow up consultations are provided in-clinic and at-home.
