Pregnancy and birth
Spinal and Cranial Therapy can be a great help in pregnancy, allowing more comfort and better sleep.
Pregnancy pains often indicate poor alignment of the spine and pelvis - which can lead to difficulties giving birth. Treatment is recommended to ease aches and prepare for an easy labour - it can make a crucial difference for you and your baby.
After the birth, you may not notice misalignments arising from the birth itself, since the hormone relaxin stays in your body for up to six weeks. But your skeletal alignment needs rebalancing during this time to avoid continuing problems later.
It's also a good time to bring your baby for a Craniosacral check-up - early correction can avoid restlessness, colic, and promotes healthy development.
For babies
The extreme delicacy of Craniosacral treatment is perfect for babies and children. The "natural" trauma of the birth process, especially where there is medical intervention, can have lasting consequences. These may show in newborns as colic, incessant crying, or suckling difficulties.
Other signs that all is not well, such as breathing irregularities, restlessness and irritability, poor sleep, or lack of responsiveness can also indicate craniosacral imbalances resulting from birth events. By resolving these, Craniosacral Therapy allows normal development to proceed.
One of the joys of treating babies is that they respond so well to treatment, usually more quickly than adults.
For older children
Older infants and children may suffer ear and eye problems, learning difficulties, hyperactivity / ADHD, asthma or glue ear. Craniosacral Therapy is preferable to drug treatment or surgery, and by working directly with the underlying pattern, lays the foundation for future healthy growth and development.
Then there are the bumps and falls of childhood, postural habits formed at school, sports and riding accidents, and the troubles that come with exam stress.
It's important to deal promptly with these to avoid carrying the problem into adulthood.
Regular treatment helps
Just as regular dental care is needed for heathy teeth, so regular Spinal and Cranial care helps to maintain a healthy body.
