Neonates, infants and children also benefit from the effects of craniosacral therapy and massage. In many cultures, babies are massaged everyday for their first year to help with circulation, stimulate growth and make stronger connections within the central nervous system.
Craniosacral therapy has also been beneficial with infants and children who have special learning abilities and/or display signs of autism.
Dr. Upledger treated neonates preventively with craniosacral therapy and found that those children had fewer learning disabilities and health problems compared to children of the same age who had not received any treatment.
