Babies and infants can benefit from Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) as early as a few days old to address stressors such as prolonged labour, birth trauma, medical interventions, colic, difficulty latching during breastfeeding, and early life stress.
BCST is also effective for birth injuries from breech presentation, shoulder dystocia, C-sections, pressure in the birth canal, oxygen deficiency during labour, vacuum assistance, or large birth weight.
Stress can lead to holding patterns that cause the gel-like extracellular matrix within a newborn's connective tissue to harden, affecting flexibility and development.
Early BCST is effective in restoring this matrix’s natural pliability, alleviating discomfort, and supporting better alignment and developmental progress. This early intervention not only eases physical and emotional discomfort but also supports developmental milestones and promotes overall well-being.
Childbirth is a profound experience filled with both wonder and challenges, and recovery can be difficult even in seemingly straightforward cases. BCST offers a unique therapeutic touch that helps newborns and infants overcome immediate concerns and promotes long-term health by preventing future issues.
Newborns communicate their needs through body language, symptoms, and behaviours, making it crucial to address their experiences early.
The connective tissue of a newborn retains stress patterns from pregnancy and delivery, which can solidify over time. Addressing these patterns early is more effective before they become entrenched.
Resolving issues with feeding, sleeping, and bonding early on benefits the entire family, facilitating smoother developmental progress and helping to prevent future challenges such as missed developmental milestones, low self-esteem, difficult relationships, and potential addiction.
Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) offers several benefits for newborns and infants. It helps release physical and emotional tension resulting from issues such as prolonged labour, complications, birth trauma, and early life stress.
BCST supports nervous system regulation, promoting relaxation and stress reduction. It enhances bonding between the baby and caregiver through nurturing touch, and it reverses the hardening of the extracellular matrix, improving tissue pliability and flexibility.
Additionally, BCST can improve sleep patterns by reducing discomfort and tension.
Heartwarming Experiences from Local Parents
"Our midwife suggested this therapy to us because our one-week-old son was getting progressively fussier during feedings, had some latching issues, and was becoming difficult to settle.". Feeding was painful and was causing a lot of extra tension in my body. We were both frustrated, which caused extra emotional stress and feelings of helplessness.
Sandra was able to help me drop back into my body and settle my nervous system, which made settling my son easier. She was also able to relieve a lot of tension in my shoulders and jaw. We had a feeding session during the treatment, and with the touch that she used, my son was able to latch easily almost immediately.
Over the next few days and after the next session, we noticed his bowel movements improving and that he was overall a lot more relaxed. Sandra explained to us that the number of sessions required does depend on the individual. For us, it only took the first session to convince us of the benefits!
Feeding has become enjoyable and a special bonding time between us, something I had hoped for from the beginning. I was so relieved that there was something so gentle to help us on our journey. With the bonus of Sandra being a beautiful therapist who was able to hold space for us in the very early and vulnerable days of parenthood! Our experience was great, and we are so grateful. Thank you, Sandra!! ' Savannah
