Cranio-Sacral Therapy

AIBU to struggle with understanding how this can help with colic?
Has this worked for you? Or not? I'd like to understand if it's worth trying or not?

Really helped me with neck and back issues and also helped my son with colic, and with realigning the plates in his head when he got flat head syndrome.

Considering colic is the one-diagnosis wonder word to explain away any and all crying that can’t be soothed...

Babies can have headaches, pains and feel uncomfortable. Babies can feel these in their head. Especially if they’d recently been squeezed and held in a tight vice like environment for a duration of time...

I did it with all of mine within 1 week of being born having seen the relief it gave a friend's newborn who developed terrible colic within a few weeks of being born. Some people consider it an early MOT after the birth to straighten out a baby after birth.

I felt it was worth every penny.

It has been very helpful to friends children that didn't sleep well, suffering from old injuries and women with PMT.

I used it on all 3 of mine after fairly traumatic births. The eldest responded best and slept amazingly afterwards. It cost us £30 a time and I would highly recommend it to any and every new mother for her baby.

I remember taking my 3 year old son to a place on Harley St for this back in the late nineties as had read something at the time about how it could help with his autism, but it didn't make any difference. However, I guess it is possible it can help people with other ailments

Don't waste your money OP. It really doesn't work. I brought my first for three sessions and the lady was lovely but they don't actually "do" very much at all. I was sitting there waiting for her to start - took me a good 5/10 minutes to realise she already had!

I laugh now thinking back to how desperate I must have been to waste €70 a pop 🙈 my DD had very bad reflux, after trying all the daft remedies going the only things that sorted her out were hard drugs and time.

Honestly - this is just voodoo. This is the 21st century; please don't waste your money.

And please don't post and ask if I have experience of it - I do. I watched my DD pour her money into the maw of a total charlatan. Makes me so mad.
