Osteopathic Cranial Treatment for Children

Children’s bodies are very malleable, and they recover quickly from injury and illness. However, the body can often compensate for a restriction, and pediatric check ups can prevent issues from manifesting when older. Effects of a difficult birth, or falls and accidents, or surgery can be held long after the event.

As of March 2020, Catherine is no longer treating infants and children under 2 years, in Seattle.

What Does an Osteopathic Cranial Treatment Involve?

This treatment involves very gentle touch. Toddlers may be treated on the floor, with interesting toys to distract them. They are only required to lie down for a short period, and usually enjoy the relaxing sensations of a session. Once old enough, children lie on a treatment table and play or read with their parent's help.
