Cranial sacral work is an even gentler form of treatment where gentle pressure is applied to the head. It can alleviate retained moulding from the birth process, influence the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid encouraging its movement down the spine and influencing all the tissues in the body, at any age. It can be helpful for birth trauma, colic, glue ear, relaxation of contractures and spasms, behavioural and learning difficulties, sleeplessness, lymphatic function and astma etc.

Cranial sacral work is particularly helpful to children who have Down's Syndrome and whose sinuses are not properly developed, but it can help a wide variety of complaints, and the children enjoy it.

The initial consultation with carer and child will take a detailed case history and will determine which combination of therapies will be used. Emphasis will be placed on furthering inderstanding of the child's condition and symptoms with explanations about the course of treatment to empower parents, carers and children in the long term well being of the child. Carers and children are free to ask questions about any part of the treatment at any time.
