Craniosacral treatment for newborns

Newborns benefit from craniosacral treatment because of the intense pressures on the cranium during the birthing process. Craniosacral treatment can help with symptoms that arise as a result such as colic, reflux, digestive and bowel dysfunction, poor sleeping patterns, crying and unsettled behaviour.

Patterns from a stressful or traumatic delivery can leave stress and tension through the Craniosacral system and associated membranes and cranial bones and in turn the nervous system. As a result, babies can benefit from hands on work to ease out any adverse effects of birth.  Craniosacral treatment can support babies in the early postpartum period by preventing numerous breastfeeding challenges by enhancing their tongue thrust, sucking reflex and latch.
