The Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy for Infants and Expecting Mothers

For infants, the gentle touch of craniosacral therapy can be especially beneficial in addressing common issues that arise from birth trauma. Some of these include colic, nursing difficulties (lip or tongue tie), sleep disruptions, and developmental delays. By gently relieving restrictions in the baby’s craniosacral system, therapists can help soothe irritability, promote relaxation, and support healthy neurological development.

Expectant mothers can also experience significant benefits from craniosacral therapy. During pregnancy, the body undergoes rapid physical and hormonal changes that can lead to discomfort, stress, and imbalances in the pelvic and spinal regions. CST helps release these tensions, improving overall alignment and circulation, which can ease back pain, reduce anxiety, and promote a smoother labor and delivery. Many women also report better sleep and a deeper sense of connection to their baby after sessions.

Whether used as a preventive measure or to address specific concerns, craniosacral therapy is a safe and nurturing option for both mother and baby.
