Craniosacral and Children The birth process has been occurring for as long as mankind has existed, and in the vast majority of cases, takes place without difficulty. Occasionally, however, a difficult delivery will place stresses on an infants head and neck that, if not addressed, can lead to issues such as a weak sucking ability or colic. These may interfere with the proper development of a child. There is particular concern in the case of children delivered by Ceacarian section. The dramatic decompression of the infant’s environment from womb to the outside world can place huge stresses on his or her still developing connective tissue network.

Craniosacral work is uniquely suited to working with infants and children. The gentle touch used, along with the process of allowing the body to discover how best to heal itself, makes this work both safe and effective. Research published in the Journal of Adolescent and Pediatric Medicine has shown such work to provide superior outcomes to antibiotic use alone in the treatment of chronic ear infections.
