There is no denying that new mums have so much to contend with!

You body is trying to get over the pregnancy and birth, your coping with these new demands of a child, and then there is the emotional fallout from the birth as well as the realisation of the responsibilities that have come with this incredible new life. And then on top of all of that you find yourself being bombarded with advice and judgement of your decisions.

Nothing else in life seems to be challenged as much as your parental decisions! The ongoing question of bottle vs breast, the big debate of vaccination, when to wean and if co-sleeping is the right thing to do.

The birth can lead to restrictions and tensions in the pelvis spine, neck and head - adding to the overall stress already being experienced by a new mum. You then add into the mix any emotional trauma experienced during the pregnancy or birth, it is all going to add up to a high stressed situation.

A CranioSacral therapy session soon after the birth (at least within the first month) can help to address all these issues. The gentle techniques of this treatment support the body in re-balancing following birth, helping mums to relax and improve their ability to sleep and recover. A session can also help support a mum with any emotional feelings left over from the birth.

A CranioSacral session can help mums to stop, regroup, breath and transition into being a mum.

When you are a mum you are always putting your little ones first and before you know it you find yourself way down the bottom of your priority list. But this is the wrong way around in the same sense that Airlines will suggest that you put your own oxygen mask on first before any children. Mums need to recognise that if they are well then their family will

    Another member of the treatment team puzzle is a cranial sacral therapist (CST). Cranial sacral therapy is a gentle, noninvasive form of body work that addresses the bones of the head, spinal column and sacrum. The goal of this type of therapy is to release compressions in those areas that in turn alleviates stress and pain. This type of therapy uses a holistic approach to activate the body’s self-healing capabilities. Cranial sacral therapists will restore the natural positions of the bones that assist in correcting postural asymmetry, such as torticollis (twisted neck) and plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome).…

    The joys of a new baby are numerous for couples, it’s an addition to your family, a new person to love; but a new child also means new responsibilities, a new found source of stress and in some cases depression for the new moms.
