CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (CST) FOR EXPECTANT & POSTPARTUM MOTHERS.

Pregnancy and Postpartum. A woman experiences dramatic changes in her body and in her relationships during pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum recovery. CST effectively addresses the concerns and discomforts rising from these changes.

Touch is vital to the mother’s psychological, physiological and spiritual well being as she adapts to the experience and demands of pregnancy and new motherhood. Studies show that mothers who receive loving touch during their pregnancies are better able to provide loving touch to their newborn infants.

A prenatal CST session is a special time for a mother to get in touch with her body and growing baby. CST helps to rebalance the physiological and energetic bodies. By relieving the effects of daily physical and emotional stress and the residual body-memories of past emotional and physical trauma, the mother baby are better prepared for the birth.

An important goal of a pregnancy CST session is to gently improve mobility in the mother’s pelvis so her baby can more easily assume an ideal position for birth. This can promote a timely, easier birth.

A pregnancy CST treatment can provide a safe forum for the patient to express her fears and concerns about the transitions of motherhood without judgment. The therapist’s role is to actively listen without judgement, bringing a calming affect to the treatment.
