CranioSacral Therapy and Children
I often hear from parents that they would like for their
children to receive CranioSacral therapy but are not sure how that is
possible. Adaptability by the therapist
is probably the most important thing when treating children. There are many ways in which I adapt my
techniques to effectively treat children.
Most importantly the child needs to be comfortable. Often that is in their parents arms or with
them close by. They can be lying down,
in a chair or I have even spent half an hour following toddlers around the
room. Toys, books, etc, are also great
distractions that can aid the practitioner in getting effective work done. When working on children I often shorten the
treatment to half an hour. For most
children that provides enough time to get an effective treatment and not to
over stimulate the system.
