Guest guest Posted June 13, 2008 Report Share Posted June 13, 2008 I have been taking my daughter for craniosacral therapy since she was 4mo. She has plagio and tort. I am a believer in CST and how it helps the body heal. Granted, I also employed a host of other alternative therapies to treat my daughter while we repositioned her, but the numbers speak for themselves. She started at 30mm asymetry and is now down to 10. She has also regained all of her neck strength, and has no motor delays. She is 12mo. I am definetely a believer.

Guest guest Posted May 5, 2009 Report Share Posted May 5, 2009 Does anyone have any experience, good or bad, with craniosacral therapy? I recently read an article about it & know a person I trust that is a licensed therapist. I am considering adding a few sessions to the things we have tried with my daughter. Any thoughts are appreciated, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 We will be starting craniosacral in June and have a friend who has been doing this with her child for a few months. They are actually the reason we are going to try this. They are seeing great results in many areas, speech being one of them. Ability to focus, attending are areas they are seeing marked improvement as well. Sylvia Sumidahttp://matthewsumida.blogspot.com/ From: Racinnuts@... <Racinnuts@...> Subject: [ ] craniosacral therapy Date: Saturday, May 23, 2009, 5:57 AM Hi there. My name is and I have a 6 year old son diagnosed with global dyspraxia, hypotonia, acid reflux, hiatal hernia, seizure disorder, dysphagia (swallowing disorder), many sensory and slow processing issues, and an irregular heartbeat.?? We are just starting to look into craniosacral therapy as a PT at the therapists office he goes to really feels that she can help him.? She doesn't currently work with him, but told me the other day that she would really love to, because she feels that she could really help.? Has anyone had any experience with this before?? If so, have you had any success...and with what? Thanks so much for any input! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 23, 2009 Report Share Posted May 23, 2009 we are about to start back with craniosacral, we stopped because we were starting homeopathy and wanted to be sure any results were coming from homeopathy not the craniosacral. i will tell you that my son stopped standing on his head, and did love the treatments. he seemed more calm and im hoping we see even more progress now after the homeopathy has started. sharon From: jtag57 <jmj4life83@...> Subject: [ ] Re: craniosacral therapy Date: Saturday, May 23, 2009, 12:14 PM + I had forgot to mention that my son also had an irregular heartbeat which was rectified by balancing his minerals, most importantly, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Our bodies are electrical so an imbalance of the minerals can disrupt the natural rhythm of the heart. Most arrhythmia are caused by an imbalance of these minerals. No need for heart meds, in a lot of cases.
