Craniosacral Therapy for Children: A Gentle Healing Approach

By Daniel Agustoni, Author and Craniosacral Therapist

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on healing approach that releases tensions in the body, relieving pain, resolving trauma, and improving physical and emotional health in babies and children up to 12 years of age. In his book, Craniosacral Therapy for Children, Agustoni introduces a comprehensive treatment protocol tailored to the unique needs of young children, from birth to adolescence.

The Importance of Early Treatment

Agustoni highlights the significance of treating young children, even during pregnancy, to prevent future health issues. The stress of birth can cause asymmetries and misalignments in babies’ bodies, leading to problems such as suckling difficulties, abdominal colic, fragmented sleep patterns, anxiety, hyperactivity, and attention deficit disorder (ADD).

Offsetting Stress, Trauma, and PTSD

The book explains how craniosacral therapy can mitigate the effects of stress, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) that may affect children as they grow, depending on their environment, biology, and temperament. This gentle therapy approach can help children develop a sense of security and confidence, relax, and support their immune system, leading to an improved overall sense of well-being.

A Practical Guide for Healthcare Practitioners and Caregivers

Enhanced with over 120 instructional photos and illustrations, the book provides hands-on techniques for healthcare practitioners, educators, parents, and caregivers. Agustoni shares valuable insights on interacting with parents, babies, and young children, as well as methods of evaluation and treatment following structural, functional, and biodynamic models. Engaging case examples demonstrate the therapeutic results of craniosacral therapy, making this book an essential resource for anyone interested in helping children thrive.
