No helmet after CST session

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone

I went in for a CST 4th session today.My therapist asked not to

wear the helmet for a day becaz she doesnt know the effect of helmet

plus therapy combinations.She reasoned that it will make his flatness

to pop out naturally.I thought wearing helmet after the therapy will be

beneficial.Has anyone aware of this situation.Please share your

experiances

Thanks

I'm not really a " believer " in CST (I haven't tried it), but leaving

it off one day shouldn't matter too much. However I haven't heard this

from people doing CST along with banding before. Since you are really

concerned about the head filling in the flat areas, and the helmet

doesn't put pressure in those areas, I'm not sure how it would

interfere. I guess it depends how often you go to CST, and if she

wants it off each time. I wouldn't mind leaving it off one day, but

wouldn't want to leave it off once a week etc.

Hi Naz,

We did CST also in support of my daughter having a helmet. She had

severe brachy and mild plagio. Our CST was not into helmeting, but

supported my choice to do it. We would take the helmet off there and

put it on at the office right when the session ended. I thought the

CST as support of what was being done with the helmet and helping my

daughter's head to shape more correctly. After 2 1/2 months she

graduated from her helmet and no one would have ever known she had

severe brachy before. She has a beautiful round head and the bossy of

her forehead is gone. With CST I think you have to let them know what

you feel comfortable with and let them know that the two together can

work.

Good luck,
