CranioSacral Therapy
It’s a pretty tight space to hang out in mama’s womb for 9 months. Sometimes, during their stay and on their way into this world, babies can get into some precarious positions! CranioSacral Therapy is a very light touch therapy that invites the tissues of the body to find good space and find their natural rhythms again. Nerves, blood vessels, craniosacral fluid, and bones all need good space to function. The communication between brain and muscles can suffer when important structures don’t have room to do their jobs. This causes our little ones to feel stuck and tight. We want our nerves firing and our body’s systems primed for optimal functioning.
Pre and Post Revisions
Let’s get our nervous systems calmed down first! The mouth is where we breathe and eat, which helps us feel safe and allows us to bond. If our nervous system is stressed, it’s hard to learn new skills, absorb nutrients to thrive, and connect with people.
Babies use their whole body to breastfeed.
Tight hips lead to tight lips.
Clenched hands carry tensions from other parts of our bodies.
Heads and necks stuck in a position make it difficult to protect our airway when eating.
If it doesn’t feel safe, comfortable, or easy, we don’t want to eat. Little clues throughout their body guide us to help them find relief from tension.
Post release, we have to learn how to use our new range of motion. Together, we can help your baby connect their new skills to their brain to create efficient and effective sucking habits.
