Can Cranial Osteopathy help my baby?
Cranial Osteopathy is a very safe, effective, and gentle technique which involves the use of light pressure to enable the body to release tensions and strains. It is most commonly associated in the treatment of babies and children, but is suitable for all ages.
Here is a case example that came into the clinic a few weeks ago…
Baby V was 3 weeks old when her mum brought her into the clinic. She had difficulties with latching on and feeding and consequently wasn’t gaining weight. She was fully breast fed and her tongue-tie check came back negative.
Baby V’s birth was very long. On cranial examination, her neck was extended, her jaw was tight, and her neck and facial muscles felt tense. I explained to her mum that these mechanical issues could cause her problems with latching on and suckling.
Baby V improved following each session and after 3 cranial treatments, her latching and suckling had improved, she had started to gain weight and was discharged from our care healthy and happy.
If this sounds familiar, then give the clinic a call and arrange an appointment with Shani to see if we can help you too…
