Mothers
CST can help in the clearing of medication and toxins, releasing physiological and emotional trauma during pregnancy and delivery. It can help alleviate back pain and postpartum depression, as well as restoring normal pelvic function and hormonal balance. Babies
Research has shown that the birth process is responsible for many neuromascular dysfunction, trauma, motor coordination problems, learning disabilities and emotional disorders.
For example, forceps delivery may cause some degree of compressoin and bruising of the soft-boned infant head, inducing a severe lateral strain of the sphenobasilar synchondrosis, which may lead later on to eye motor problems. A casearian birth can be a very traumatic experience for the baby as it is is confronted with the rapid decompressive forces as an incision is made, and as it is pulled out of the comfort of the mother’s womb. CST can counter the effects of trauma and difficult birth and ensure
well-being for babies.
The techniques used are very gentle as the pressure of the practitioner’s hands do not exceed more than 5 grams, which is the weight of a coin.
According to Dr John Upledger, the founder of CST, all babies should have treatments as soon as possible and should continue treatment throughout childhood as they adapt to the process of growing up. Early treatments prevents dysfunction. Children
CranioSacral Therapy is also suitable for older children who might still have some unresolved issues and is the natural way to achieving equilibrium for your child.

Also, when a child has had a fall or any accidental injuries, one of the quickest way to reestablish well-being is to have a CranioSacral treatment. We recommend that the child wear loose, comfortable clothing. The session is performed with the child sitting on the parent’s lap, reclining on a massage or treatment table while the practitioner stands or sits, positioned at various times throughout the session at the child's head, middle torso or feet. The therapist monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system and uses delicate manual techniques or adjustments to treat problem areas. Most babies and children find the treatment very relaxing. They may fall asleep or may cry, sneeze, cough, move their bodies when they experience a release from pain or restrictions but the techniques do not cause any pain.
