"I am thoroughly convinced that one of the best things we can do for our children is to have them begin life with smoothly functioning cranial systems, a removal of physical restrictions so their body tissues aren't burdened by destructive or traumatic memories, and very clean energy fields. This can all be accomplished within a very short time within the first few days of life."
- John E. Upledger, DO, OMN
No journey is as complex as the one that brings us into it. Childbirth can certainly be a challenge for Mum. Yet it barely compares to the shock and potential long-term effects in store for the child.
Thankfully theres a way to soothe your baby that offers even more than comfort and relief. CranioSacral Therapy is a form of compassionate touch that can help forge a lifetime of good health.
CranioSacral Therapy is a light-touch manual therapy that addresses restrictions in the craniosacral system - the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This vital system extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum, or tailbone area.
Since the craniosacral system directly impacts the central nervous system, its easy to see how an imbalance there could cause any number of sensory, motor or neurological disabilities. CranioSacral Therapy helps correct those restrictions so the body can release the effect of stress - naturally.
Research strongly suggests that the birth process is responsible for many brain disfunctions and central nervous problems. CranioSacral Therapy carried out within the first few weeks of life could potentially reduce a wide variety of difficulties, many of which might not become apparent until your child is in school. Even problems with head shape and skull-bone override can be corrected with skillful use of CranioSacral Therapy.
The bottom line, when properly applied, CranioSacral Therapy is essentially risk free. So no matter how old your child is, its never to late to benefit from this essential therapy.
