- Mothers and Babies Clinic at The Healthy Living Centre, N1
Craniosacral Therapy can help a woman’s body adjust to the changes created by pregnancy and prepare her for labour in a fully resourced condition.
Treatment is effective with:
- Difficulties with the pelvis, spine, uterus, abdominal cavity and also with organ functions
- fluid retention
- high blood pressure
- low immune system
- fatigue
- headaches, etc.
It can help both baby and mother recover from the rigors of labour and childbirth. The best time to resolve this is immediately after the event, especially if it has been a difficult and complex labour.
Many conditions that occur later in life or during early years of development have been found by craniosacral therapists to stem from unresolved birth trauma. This can often be linked to learning or behavioural difficulties that occur in children.
The clinic encourages both mother and baby/child to have treatment together as they so closely effect each other. This has been found to be a very effective way of resolving health difficulties. There is a discount in the clinic fees to encourage this. The clinic also believes it is important for pregnant women to receive regular treatment as a way of maximizing health and preparing for birth.
