Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 My son has mild brachycephaly (flatter across the back) He is 7 months old. I recently heard that in some mild plagio cases it is better to do CST alone vs. getting a helmet. Has anyone else heard this? Also for those who do the CST at this age how often are they seen for treatment sessions? cheryl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted October 9, 2008 Report Share Posted October 9, 2008 I would go with both. Try and see a cranial Osteopath, to do CST. once a week should be sufficient and less if that is what he/she recommends. Everyone I know in the community recommends both they can work symbioticly. If anyone tells you that the helmet will interfere w/ CST that is a good sign they are not on the up and up.From: shastindog <shastindog@...>Subject: CST or Helmet?Plagiocephaly Date: Thursday, October 9, 2008, 9:03 AM My son has mild brachycephaly (flatter across the back) He is 7 months old.

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 Hi Cheryl, I have heard of CST helping, but from what i know it isn't as " proven " as banding. I would probably do both unless the brachy is really mild. My daughter had brachy and it took a long time to correct. She was severe starting at 96% and ended at 85%, but in her case it took 5 mo starting at 5 mo old(starband). Brachy can take a bit longer than plagio it seems to me. -christine sydney 2.5 yrs starband grad > > My son has mild brachycephaly (flatter across the back) He is 7 > months old.
