Craniosacral Body Work
Infant craniosacral therapy can be a great tool to use for oral tension and is a gentle, light-touch therapy that aims to release tension in the muscles surrounding a baby's skull, especially around the jaw and mouth. By working on the bones and fascial tissues we can improve oral mobility and in turn, improve feedings effected by oral restrictions. Often associated with conditions like tongue tie or a lip tie; essentially helping the baby to open their mouth and latch more effectively by easing tension in the oral area.
Now that we know WHAT it is, let’s learn HOW to use our knowledge to help our baby. This video offers a great demonstration of easy exercises that can be done at home!
