Craniosacral Therapy and Bodywork Clinic for Infants
What is Craniosacral Therapy and Bodywork?
Craniosacral Therapy is a safe and gentle therapy that uses very light touch to ease areas of tightness or restriction in the connective tissue of the body. The treatment restores mobility and creates more space in places in the body where there are stuck places. This promotes optimal shape, movement and function of the head, spine and body.
The craniosacral therapist uses his/her hands to locate and release areas of tension in the body. The treatment is baby-led, nothing is ever forced, and most release techniques use five grams of pressure (the weight of a nickel). It doesn’t hurt or tickle, but allows for release and relaxation for improved health.
Bodywork and massage is an excellent way for you to help your baby. Experienced therapists will teach you how to work with your baby with your hands, your touch.
