Planning a baby, the journey of pregnancy and finally the birth of a baby is one of the most amazing experiences a couple will go through. For some ,it may be stressful with all sorts of emotions presenting themselves adding to the already stressful situation. One of the ways of balancing our emotional health during stressful journeys is the use of craniosacral therapy.
Balancing hormonal health, releasing tension in the pelvic area and releasing fears around pregnancy will all aid in providing the optimal space for an embryo to latch on and grow. Continuing sessions during the pregnancy, will assist in providing relief of
nausea, fatigue, low back pain, ligament and nerve related pain
Improve mobility in the pregnant mother's pelvis which can promote an easier birth for mom and baby
Headaches and Migraines
Morning Sickness
Stress and Tension-related Problems
Fatigue
Emotional Difficulties
Babies and children respond well to Craniosacral therapy.
Traumatic births can be due to a long birthing process , assisted births ,(forceps, vacuum) and C-Sections. Helping babies bodies to rebalance after birth sets them up for good health and meeting of their developmental goals. listed below are some of the conditions where CST helps
Plagiocephaly (misshape of newborn's head)
Torticolis, helping with range of motion with neck and shoulders
Releasing tension strain patterns of the intracranial membranes as well as other structures in the skull
Asymmetry of the newborn's face and mouth
Latch and Feeding issues
Disorganized suck, swallow, and breathe patterns
Tongue Tie and Lip Tie
Digestive irritability (fussy, hard to soothe babies, gas ,colic/reflux, pain)
