CST for Children

Craniofacial therapy is a safe effective therapy for infants and children as well as adults. The birth process can lead to restrictions that may be carried throughout life.

CST Evaluation After Birth

A CST evaluation and treatment soon after birth can minimize or release such restriction… Symptoms such as colic, feeding problems, sucking problems and sleeping and behavioural problems can be helped with CST. Parents are often amazed by the sudden and dramatic change in a baby’s symptoms.

Babies can’t speak but that doesn’t mean you can’t communicate with them. When a therapist connects with a baby they come to appreciate what things are like for that baby and interacting with them using CranioSacral therapy plays a big part in making the treatment effective.

Wide Range of Conditions

CST 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 does not have to be presenting with a health issue to benefit from a CST 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.

All babies can benefit from a CranioSacral evaluations and treatments as soon as possible after birth. Children and their families should continue to receive CST periodically throughout childhood as they adapt to the process of growing up.
