Overview of CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a manual therapy that utilizes a very light touch - typically no more than 5 grams, or the weight of a nickel. Using gentle manipulation, our CranioSacral Therapist in Missouri encourages and facilitates the body's natural healing process to overcome the challenges it may be facing. The therapy specifically focuses on the body's inner-most rhythms and systems to promote healing from the core.

CranioSacral Therapy For Infants
Unfortunately, adults aren't the only ones who experience physical challenges; infants also experience a wide variety of symptoms stemming from prenatal challenges, difficult births, and countless other sources. These problems may manifest as difficulty nursing, colic, gastrointestinal pain, developmental delays, and any number of other challenges. CranioSacral Therapy offers a gentle, non-invasive approach to correcting the problems experienced by these infants. Here is a closer look at how CranioSacral Therapy may be able to help resolve some of the challenges infants face.
Issues Stemming From The Cranium
During birth, the infant's skull bones overlap in order to fit through the birthing canal in the mother's pelvis. Known as compression/decompression, this is a natural process that facilitates some of the infant's cranial development as he is born. When this process is prevented or disrupted, challenges may occur down the road. Consequently, an infant born via cesarean section or whose birth is assisted with forceps or a vacuum may experience certain repercussions at a later date. CranioSacral Therapy may be able to help facilitate the healing required to overcome these challenges.
Infant Health Challenges
Babies can experience a huge variety of different health challenges, many of which may be able to benefit from CranioSacral Therapy. The following are examples of some of the conditions and challenges infants face that CranioSacral Therapy may be able to benefit:
- Feeding Issues
- Seizures
- Vomiting
- Fine Motor Skills Problems
- Constipation
- Acid Reflux
- Ear Pain
- Sleep Problems
- Developmental Delays
