Carol Gray is a local Portland midwife and chiropractor who does Craniosacral training for a variety of professionals in the region. What is Craniosacral therapy is a common question. Here is an excellent answer from her site:
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, non-invasive, yet effective type of hands-on body treatment that is helpful for infants and children as well as adults. It is an assessment tool plus corrective and preventive treatment. A newborn CST session can minimize or eliminate the repercussions of difficult births and help ensure good health for well babies. All babies should receive newborn Craniosacral evaluations and treatments as soon as possible after birth. Children should continue to receive pediatric CST periodically throughout childhood as they adapt to the process of growing up.
I have personally had numerous treatments through my life and after each one have felt so much better, and so much calmer and more settled with myself. It is an amazing treatment opportunity and there is a free infant clinic coming up on November 3rd at Nurture PDX. If your child is less than 6 months old, and even if they didn’t suffer any special incidents in their birth it can make a huge difference. Some of the things I have heard as benefits is colic disappearing, better ability to sleep soundly, happier babies, breastfeeding issues related to suck or latch improving or completely resolving. Take advantage Portland mamas! You may be amazed at the wonderful changes a single treatment can make for your baby AND for you.
