Infant Craniosacral Referrals
The baby is frequently examined in the parents arms or, if a toddler, sitting with a toy or with the distraction of music or stories.
The treatment can be given whilst the child feeds, if necessary.
The cranium is observed for contour, depressions or contusions and then for movement of the individual bones.
This is very subtle and gentle.
Other areas that amy be examined are the diaphragm, ears, gut and pelvis.
A working diagnosis and prognosis is given, frequently with advise for homecare, which may involve a diet diary for the breastfeeding mother, homeopathic remedies and herbal teas and positions of comfort for the baby.
If a Red book is available, please bring to the consultation together with any medication that the Mother and Infant are taking
