Absolutely.

We do OCM (Osteopathic Cranial Manipulation) with a DO.

_www.drtortu.com_ (http://www.drtortu.com) (NJ)

OCM is complimentary to the homeopathic detox we are doing.

I had it on me personally some years ago to see if it would help my

headaches. It didn't. But maybe it wasn't a problem cranial sacral

therapy could help. I have heard it helps some, and isn't that

expensive for a try.

It isn't invasive or hurts at all and I had a pretty sensitive head.

However, you do have to lay down reasonably still for awhile. If your

child can't do that, it might mess up the therapy. Or if he can't

stand things around his head (like my older son was).

I'm sure others have felt this, but with this woman we started seeing you

can just " sense " a real spiritual warmth from her and her passion for

helping children. It's not like a job, but more like a calling. One of the

things she said, is that children start to understand what is going on and

they do often obey better or don't want to leave. Like someone helping them

with a problem they didn't know they had and not sure what's going on, but

liking it.

The first appointment for my son was on the head and such, and more of

getting to know her. He is undersensitve to pain yet when she just barely

touched his head he totally reacted. Makes sense that's something is going

on. She knew what she was doing with kids. But apparently most of her work

she said is through the mouth, guess we'll find out next week. Anyone heard

of this?

Re: Cranial Sacral Therapy

Our experience was different. Was your practitioner an osteopath? Anyway,

my son, 4 years old, sat in my lap for the whole treatment. A little more

social and one new word after 1st treatment.

They will eventually like it. At first my son didn't sit or lay there for

more than 2-3 minutes at a clip. Now he stays put for the entire 1/2 hour.

I have had work done in my mouth on occasion. My DO works on all parts of

my spine and head and will address any concerns in my wrists, ankles, elbows,

knees, etc....

This was recommended to me also, but I thought it was used wth children who

were vaginal birth deliveries. My son was a repeat C-Section. Eileen

Hello

Not an answer to your question (we're in the UK) but worth bearing

in mind just straightforward cranial osteopathy. We did cranio-

sacral and it was lovely but so subtle for Tom. Cranial osteopathy

really brings him back to reality even after a couple of 15 minute

sessions and you can find a cranial osteopath in most towns and

cities.

very best

There's an Upledger website which (I think) has a list of practitioners. My

eyesight (myopia) improved considerably after having CST after a child with ASD

wrenched my neck pulling me to the ground by the hair (I blocked him from

running into traffic). The eye doctor checked four times because he couldn't

believe it had changed that much.

I did it with my daughter. At first she had almost odd, involuntary stims

during the therapy so I knew it was doing something but I don't know what. And

one day she spoke much better on the way home from the therapy and that

encouraged me so we went back a few more times but I can't remember ever seeing

that

repeated on the next few visits. I did help her relax and destress. I dont'

think I stayed with it long enough and regular enough to know if it would do

more. May try again one day. But it did seem to be the first 2 or 3 visits

that had the biggest effect.

I interact with people in a Cranial Sacral Therapy Clinic who treat a lot of

autistic children.

I supply an Ion Cleanse detox unit for some of them to use in detox.

The Clinic I interact in seems to have a lot of success in improvement in those

coming there.

Hey!

MY son is 11 months old and has been going to someone

who does cranial sacral therapy since april. He doesnt

have a helmet yet- I am in process of trying to get

him one...

anyways I think that cranial sacral therapy has helped

my son with getting more range for his tort. does your

son have tort??? I know people do that kind of therapy

for lots of different reasons... someone in my family

did it for autism actually... but I do think it is a

good thing. It is hard to see any hard evidence from

it because it is so internal, but I could see how it

might help with the helmet b/c it think it would help

possibly with growth during wearing the helmet; I

think that growth/growth spurts is a good thing when

wearing the helmet..

hope this helps a little... I LOVE the therapist who

does cranial sacral with my son. and he doesnt mind it

at all

It is an alternative treatment some people use for plagio, either

alone, or in conjunction with a band. Some swear it works, but I don't

think there are any good studies. Here is a description from

upledger.com (go there for more info):

CST is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the

functioning of a physiological body system called the craniosacral

system - comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that

surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.

Using a soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the

weight of a nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the

craniosacral system to improve the functioning of the central nervous

system.

You have to have special training to do CST, but maybe some people

combine that with other things like chiro or PT - I'm not sure. I

don't think insurance covers it - most people who mention using it say

it isn't covered, but it might vary.

Hello all, my hubby and I plan to take our little guy to cranial sacral

therapy while he is banded. We are hoping that this will result in him

not have the band for too long (6-8 weeks)...Does anyone have any

feedback, positive or negative on cranial sacral therapy?

[Guest guest]

Kellee, I'm really glad you asked about Cranial Sacral therapy. I don't

know much about it, but my lactation consultant recommended it for our

daughter, so I too am looking into it. The consultant said she sends

infants who have sucking problems to the therapist, but that she could

probably help with my daughter too. My daughter was diagnosed with

torticollis, although we are going for a second and third opinion in

the next two weeks, because it doesn't seem like that is what she has:

She has some cranial and facial asymmetries, but not in the typical way

of torticollis, and she has no tight muscles (but some weak ones). So

we are still trying to figure out what her issues are. Hopefully

nothing serious. But I'll be watching for comments here about cranial

sacral therapy!

We did CST for 5 weeks right before and then while my son was banded.

We went to a highly recommended therapist and unfortunately we saw no

results. My son also screamed the whole session each time we went. It

was pretty miserable for us! Anyway, I have heard that people have seen

results with it so it is worth a try. It may work for you guys.
