CST for children and adolescents

You may consider craniosacral treatment for your child for many reasons, including their general wellbeing, to prevent illnesses, improve symptoms, provide support as they navigate growing up (physically, emotionally and hormonal) or to reduce side effects from medical treatment. 

Craniosacral treatment is effective for a wide range of conditions in children and adolescents as well. Childhood and adolescent conditions which have responded well to CranioSacral therapy include: Attention-Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD/ADD), autism, adolescent withdrawal, fears and phobias, bed-wetting and asthma.

Treatment of young children can be helpful in preventing issues arising later in life. A baby/ toddler does not have to be presenting with a health issue to benefit from a craniosacral treatment. Depression, migraine, sinusitis, spinal and pelvic pain and some psychological conditions are among the issues that can sometimes be traced back to what happened at birth.

Children and their families should continue to receive craniosacral treatment periodically throughout childhood as they adapt to the process of growing up.
