Osteopathic Cranio-sacral technique is an extremely gentle non-invasive approach without medication or exposure to radiation (X-rays). 

Although babies come into the world ‘brand new,’ the path in which they enter is an extremely tight one. One might have thought the birth was tough for the Mother, but imagine what it was like for the baby!! The result can be stress and strain on the head and/or body which can be from fast or slow natural births, through to assisted ones and Caesareans. The outcome of this can be blockages in the natural movements of the head and body and result in headaches, indigestion (e.g. possetting), ear/chest infections through to neck or back pain. It can be non specific symptoms such as being generally unhappy and unsettled, or poor eating/drinking. The general advice is often ‘ they’ll grow out of it’. However an unhappy baby means an unhappy and tired family.
