Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 , I used to take Liv for cranial sacral work. I took her when she was 2 to 4 1/2. I agree with the concept of this work, but could never really tell if it was helping. She was too young to explain if she thought she was getting something out of it. Although, Im sure she was. Gosh, we got so busy we just stopped going...Maybe its time for another appt. Thanks for the reminder ! And no, I havent heard from ia....? take care, HRH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 27, 2005 Report Share Posted January 27, 2005 Hey thanks for the info but I still do not understand why or what cases would warrant this type of therapy... Sorry I fell very stupid.. ansiosamjm <usameza@...> wrote: Hi ,From what I understand, the CST is that they apply gentle pressure and try to monitor the flow of CSF they try to releive restrictions in the flow of the cerebral spinal fluid. Our therapist also does releases on the tight muscles. They tried to teach me a bit of it, but i am bad at it. It is important to find a therapist that is reputable and works with babies and toddlers, get references or referrals from those who have used the person. Upledger has a list but be very careful, like I said.__________________________________________________ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 I've done this on my son for a few years now. It is beneficial here. Why did they only work for 13 minutes? I assume there is a reason, and not just she decided to stop working. The therapist should be communicating with you. I only (usually) work on kids 20-30 minutes (and tell the parents that up front), because you need to be working around the child's comfort level and tolerance. Sensory issues are challenging for body work. After 13 minutes was your daughter seeming uncomfortable? If it was the first session, you dd may need some time to feel comfortable with the therapist AND the bodywork. It is a process. Also, maybe that isn't the therapist for your dd. Bodwork is personal, after all the therapist is touching you for quite a period of time. I would not want anyone's hands on me if I wasn't comfortable with their presence. Maybe try another therapist and see if it is a better match. > > i brought my dd for this therapy. she is ten. they only worked on her for aprox. 13 minutes. another therapist that i called said she would work on my child for at least 1/2 an hour. is anyone familiar with this type therapy? > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 24, 2009 Report Share Posted June 24, 2009 My dd liked her and so did I. She said she did not want to over do it on the first visit. It seems so short compared to all of the other stories I am hearing, regarding other children. My dd was not uncomfortable. She liked it. I am going to just call and talk about it with her.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2009 Report Share Posted December 1, 2009 My child is going for Cranial S.T. .... In the past when she had this done, she felt this very relaxing, sinking kind of feeling when she was being worked on. She did not get this feeling with this new therapist that we are trying. He has an excellent following, but I was just concerned about this. Any advice would be helpful. I was just wondering if its not working if that sensation is not felt. Also.... the therapist said that he felt blockage on the left side of her brain. On her EEG, the spikes and waves are on the right side of her brain. Any comments are welcome.

Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 I've been receiving CST for three years now. I had two whiplash accidents several years apart that literally moved bones in my head. I would recommend CST to everyone.... Babies, older people, people who've had accidents, people with brain/mental health issues, people with any physical issues... The fit is very important. The training and experience of the therapist is very important, and their attitude/respect toward you or your child is very important. All therapists are different, come from different backgrounds (medical, nursing, physical therapist, massage therapist, etc.) Their backgrounds will affect their work, of course. I always ask about their experience with handicapped/ASD kids, and make certain I find someone who is comfortable with this, because not everyone is. My nephew who is very handicapped has received body work all his life, so is used to it, begs for it, and responds well to it. His main gains are that he is more comfortable, and we get behavior improvements. When a therapist is working on you or your child, you may not feel anything at all. The work is subtle energy movements. One of the main things they work with is the connective tissue. They also can subtly move bones and help things such as digestion, anxiety, posture, unwind things inside the body that are not in alignment. This frees up energy systems in the body to work better, They also work a lot with emotional release. Emotions are stored in the body, not just the mind. They can put your head on straighter - literally. Sometimes, you may feel worse afterward for a day or two. This means that something has been stirred up and is releasing. I call it detoxing. They may call it unwinding or processing. Another one of my nephews who was vaccine damaged and learning challenged got great improvement in learning capabilities as well as attitude in just a few sessions. He's in college now - something thought not possible a few years ago. My son also gets regular treatments. This helps keep his Crohn's disease in check. Big Fan, here! judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted December 3, 2009 Report Share Posted December 3, 2009 For us, what was even better than Cranial Sacral -- Upper Cervical. You will have a series of appointments, but once you hold your adjustment, you hold your adjustment. After years of care, I am finally doing well, as is my entire family. It was much more cost effective as well. http://www.whattimetuesday.com/ Regards, Summer McFarland 615.469.4949 tel curious about lauren? 206.350.9020 fax www.curinglauren.org --------------------------------------------------------------------------------\ ------------------------------ Over 13 years of organic search engine optimization, marketing and design!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Wow, I have never heard of that one!

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Our cranio-therapist had a whole bucket full of interesting hand held toys for pediatric patients to use during the sessions.  You know those hand held things (you buy them at a fair, or carnival or The Disney Store might have them- the one he loved so much I think was Buzz Light Year). They have a plastic globe on top, you push the button and they light up and spin around like crazy inside... Do the session in the dark or semi-dark and let him use the light ups while she works on him.  Soemthing highly motivating. My son loved anything that lit up during his sessions. Even a flashlight to shine on the ceiling would be a good distraction.  Hope it helps. From: lucy4gets <lucy2max@...> Subject: [ ] Re: Cranial Sacral Therapy Date: Friday, December 4, 2009, 4:14 PM  Can I ask for ideas on what the cranio therapist OR other gets to work on an active 2year old? We have had 4 sessions and so want to continue but he won't lie on the table-not in any direction, he wont stand still, he won't let me hug him while the therapist even gets a few seconds in!! what do you all do for treating a 2 year old?? thanks! > > > > > > > > > > > I've been receiving CST for three years now.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 Same here, with chiropractor. Seemed helpful at first, then I felt uncomfortable doing it because it made him worse. You have to watch out for money-hungry dirtbags, we have a lot of those around here...they quote so many chiropractor treatments or acupuncture treatments, discount if you buy so many...how the heck do they know how many it's going to take? I want to know that. do they just keep messing with you as long as you'll tolerate it? It sounds fishy to me sometimes, make sure to get a referral from somebody if possible.

Guest guest Posted December 4, 2009 Report Share Posted December 4, 2009 I used both CST and NUCCA. I have an amazing NUCCA chiropractor and an amazing CSTherapist. The first accident I had dislocated my sphenoid, occiput, mandibular,and jaw and broke ribs. It all had to be carefully put back together. ....And the head bones are connected to the tailbone - thus cranio and sacral (head and tail). After the second accident, my NUCCA Dr. said my neck had rotated. And I jammed my leg into my hip socket, twisted my knee, etc., and the seatbelt lifted my ribcage to a different position. I kind of had to start back at zero again. I'm still getting over the trauma of the two accidents. The second one was very scary and I'm still dealing with driving in cars. These are the bones that were out of place.... http://www.nebraskabraininjurylawyer.com/images/injuryimages/rough.skull.bones.j\ pg Cheers! They're both excellent therapies. judy > > For us, what was even better than Cranial Sacral -- Upper Cervical. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
