Re: Does osteopathy helps ?

[Guest guest]

Yes has tort. He was accepted into our local Infants and

Toddlers Program at 4 months. He couldn't turn his head past midpoint

to the left and would hyperextend it the way. He wasn't responding

to PT and his PT with I & A suggested we see a woman at Kennedy Kreiger

in Baltimore who specializes in Craniosacral work. At that point at

7 months he could not lift his head up when on his tummy the muscles

were so tight. He also had issues associated with hip dysplasia at

birth which he wore a pavlik harness for. He tended to tilt his

whole body when sitting on one hip. At the end of his first session

with the craniosacral therapist he lifted his head straight up. I

only see her every two weeks and the osteopath once a month.

has made so much progress his tort is virtually resolved except for a

teeny little bit of weakness left. He is walking/running everywhere

now. He just got his PT appt. stretched to once a month (instead of

weekly) and the craniosacral is about to go monthly also. I highly

recommend the craniosacral/osteopath work for anyone's child with

tort. What a difference!
