| HOW DOES IT WORK? |
| The body is designed to
defend its self from disease and to assist in its own
healing. For example an emotional stress or a physical
injury can cause an imbalance or restriction in the system
and hence blocks the bodies ability to heal. The therapist
can detect these restrictions and by applying the therapy
can help the client to unblock and restore the bodies
ability to heal itself. |

as well as supporting them throughout the difficult emotional
times. |

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY FOR CHILDREN
AND BABIES.
Craniosacral therapy is particularly
valuable for children and babies, as they may have unresolved
restrictions in their systems due to issues at birth,
physical  injuries
or emotional difficulties. The baby's head naturally
moulds itself during the birthing process to enable
the head to pass through the birth canal. Therefore
after birth if the over riding of the bones does not
correct itself in time it can cause difficulties. A
quick or prolonged labour, use of intervention such
as forceps or caesarean section can also lead to restrictions
in the craniosacral system.
| Common
newborn problems: |

Colic, irritability,
reflux, poor sucking or not latching on properly
