CST for Infants and Children
Older infants and children can also benefit from CST treatment. Early intervention in the form of CST (alongside other modalities) is recommended for the best results. Because of a child's still-developing physiology, the central nervous system is especially accepting of this type of therapy. Even a single session can help your child achieve priceless benefits, from calmness and greater focus to better integrated sensory facilities. Additional sessions can extend and strengthen these outcomes.
Treatment with CranioSacral Therapy can be effective for a wide range of conditions common in childhood:
Chronic ear infections
ADD/ADHD and Hyperactivity
Autism spectrum and sensory processing disorders
Seizures
Strabismus, nystagmus, and other eye disorders
Digestive disorders
Cerebral palsy
Plagiocephaly
Developmental delays
Learning disabilities
Speech disorders
Down Syndrome
Hearing problems
Meningitis
"My baby was diagnosed with plagiocephaly, a flattening across the back of the head. I was reluctant to put my baby in a helmet to correct the plagiocephaly. After one CranioSacral treatment, it was obvious to both me and my husband that my son's head shape was changing. After several sessions, it continued to become rounder. In addition, his gross motor skills improved after every treatment. During one of the sessions, Ellen told me that my 7 month old son would soon be able to sit up without support. He was able to do it the very next day!" FB
