About Us
CranioSacral Therapy is practiced by experienced therapists with varied paramedical backgrounds. Many have experience spanning fifteen and more years.
This group of experienced therapists would like to give back to the community by offering their time and expertise through the Children’s Cranial Network. This network of therapists offers short articles to educate the public about CranioSacral Therapy for children. It is our hope that parents, caregivers and therapists will find useful information and links of interest.
This is also a forum in which you can ask questions about CranioSacral Therapy for children or offer useful links to other sites.

Thank you for you question Tanya. Yes, it is possible to reduce the need for orthodontia as well as help it to be more effective quicker. Your children are not too old to help. The time frame depends on what else is happening in the cranium. The top of the mouth or palate is connected to the rest of the bones of the skull so the therapist would be working to balance the whole area with the rest of the body. As for the frequency once weekly is typical, giving the body a chance to adapt to the new positioning between visits. Sometimes coming a little more often helps with children who need shorter treatments due to the “fidgets”. This helps them get used to the therapist and having someone work in their mouth. When you find a therapist who has experience with kids and mouthwork and is a fit with you and your children the situation can be assessed as to how long the process may take. With children visits around growth spurts is often a good idea once you are on a maintenance type schedule. Good luck and thanks again for the question. Brenda

I’m looking for information on using CST to help with dental crowding and high, arched palates in children (vs infants). My kids are 3 and 5, and I’m exploring ways to improve the shape of their mouths. My hope is that I can reduce or eliminate the need for orthodontia by increasing the room in their mouths so that their permanent teeth can grow in properly.
Is this a reasonable expectation? Unlikely but possible? Highly improbable at their ages? Any guidance on a) whether this is possible, b) the range of timeframes and frequency of visits that would probably be required, and c) what other factors may be at-play to increase the likelihood of success, would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tanya
