Cranial Osteopathy for Twin Boys ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘ฆ๐Ÿผ

Yesterday I was honoured to treat these lovely, 3-year old twin brothers.

Broadly speaking, there was some retained tension from birth in twin one. Primarily from in utero positioning. Parent noticed some minor sensory issues and followed her intuition to seek advice and assessment.

This was his second visit and Mum reported noticeable improvements to sensory processing, sleep and emotional self-regulation.

Twin two had no major concerns but of course cannot be left out! I so happened to work on some retained cranial and jaw tension. We also worked on some shoulder and arm guarding following a recent healed forearm fracture.

Home exercises / massage were provided to the parents.

They were so well behaved and excited for some treatment with light play with an octopus! ๐Ÿ™
An absolute credit to their parents ๐Ÿ’™๐Ÿ’™

Mobility Monday - Rotator Cuff Health

Possible reasons for a shallow latch:

* Tiny, retracted bottom jaw (TMJ), especially if preterm.
* Tension in TMJ muscles stopping jaw from opening wide enough
* Bottom and top lips do not fl**ge enough.
* Weak tongue muscles and not itโ€™s not protruding enough
* Weak suck reflex - needs more stimulus
* True tongue tie
* True lip tie
(Not an exhaustive list but commonly seen in clinic)

At home, parents can gently play with the bottom lip 4-5 times before latching on to encourage both wider jaw opening and tongue protrusion.

The use of a dummy (bell bottom) can help a weak suck reflex and exercise the orofascial muscles.

Always consult a professional to assess what is the specific cause for your baby and before using any intra-oral exercises.
