Craniosacral therapy at DownTime Craniosacral Therapy in Los Altos, California, is beneficial to people of all ages, especially infants and children. Childbirth can be a challenge for both mother and child. In an ideal vaginal birth, the baby's skull is compressed as it passes through the birth canal. This is a normal healthy process, helping to stimulate the cranial pump and to mold the skull. Within 10 days the baby's cranium becomes symmetrical and balanced.
However there are times when Cesarean-sections, suctioning and forceps are necessary aids during a challenging birth. This can place stresses on the cranium bones and may prevent the cranium from normalizing. Craniosacral therapy is a light touch, no more than the weight of a nickle. A trained therapist in craniosacral therapy for paediatrics can help the baby's cranium become balanced.
