CranioSacral Therapy For Pregnant Mothers

Incredibly gentle and non-invasive, CranioSacral Therapy has been shown to have powerful effects. Through a very light touch (generally no more than five grams of pressure), CranioSacral Therapy works to relieve tensions in the body that may impede the functioning of the central nervous system. When this achieved and homeostasis is restored in the nervous system, the body is more easily able to return to a greater sense of balance.


Over the years, our CranioSacral Therapist at the Lake of the Ozarks has been honored to assist many different individuals with many different conditions and symptoms. This week, we want to look specifically at a unique clientele base that can particularly benefit from CranioSacral Therapy: expecting mothers.

Pregnancy Is The Biggest Transformation A Woman's Body Can Undergo

It's no secret that pregnancy is a hugely transformative experience for an expecting mother. Her body will undergo numerous changes as her baby grows, finally culminating at birth. As the baby grows, she may experience additional strain in or around or her back, hips, and pelvic area. By gently releasing tension, CranioSacral Therapy may be able to help relieve these tensions and facilitate these important transitions her body is undergoing.

Pregnancy Is A Hugely Emotional Process For Most Women

We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge that pregnancy is also often an incredibly emotional experience. Surging hormones make women more susceptible to mood swings, but even apart from the stereotypical "pregnancy hormones," becoming a new mom (regardless of whether or not it is her first baby) is often a hugely emotional experience. CranioSacral Therapy aims to balance the spiritual and emotional aspect of our physical health, so therapists may be able to help ease this emotional transition.

CranioSacral Therapy May Be Able To Ease Some Of The Common Pregnancy Aches & Pains

Through its use of light touch, CranioSacral Therapy encourages healing, mobility, and expansion. CranioSacral Therapy has been able to help ease a wide variety of pregnancy-related aches, pains, and symptoms, including:
  • Back Pain
  • Rib Pain
  • Hip Pain
  • Posterior Babies
  • Headaches & Migraines
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • Cesarean Recovery
  • Stress-Related Problems
  • Epidural Recovery

CranioSacral Therapy can also help to prepare the body for the physical demands that labor will require. In fact, some studies have shown that women who receive regular CranioSacral Therapy treatments throughout their pregnancies have fewer complications and shorter, easier labors.
