CST is a client led therapy. During a session I respond to what I feel in the client’s body. This makes it an ideal therapy for all ages as a child/adult can be said to lead the session through what they are presenting with in that moment. When working with a child this is very important as they may have little control over some aspects of how they are feeling in terms of their wellbeing.
From the moment of conception, a child’s life is a cascade of developments and changes. These changes can prove challenging in themselves. Craniosacral Therapy’s gentle light touch makes it perfect for new-born babies and children by offering a wide range of approaches.
During a CST treatment it is not always necessary for words to be used to express how a person/child is experiencing the treatment. For babies and young children with limited or no speech this is very important. CST encourages coming into relation with how we are feeling, promoting a deepening of self-awareness on both an emotional and physical level. This can be a very empowering experience that proves useful in moving through our lives providing us with valuable skills to meet daily life challenges.
If a baby or child has had a stressful birth, CST may facilitate the body in helping to relieve associated tensions and symptoms in a safe and gentle environment.
Parents often bring their babies for CST if they are unsettled. CST may facilitate the baby in resolving issues such as digestive problems, difficulty in feeding, sleeping problems or if the baby is generally unsettled.
Craniosacral Therapy facilitates a safe and secure space for the whole family to return to a sense of calmness. Aiding the transition into family life with ease.
