What is a CranioSacral Therapist?
A friend of mine is trying to persuade me to go to a CranioSacral Therapist. What is this practice? Do you have to be a doctor to practice it ? I moved from the USA to Canada, and it is difficult for me to believe these alternative methods are scientific, but I am in pain from severe cervical stenosis and any legitimate alternative to surgery would be welcomed. Thanks for your answers.

Just go with your friend….its just simple therapy man^_^

Has anyone had any positive experience with Craniosacral therapy for an older child with mild Plagiocephaly? Either by a Chiropractor or an Osteopathic Doctor? Did the child tolerate it well? How often are treatments done & what are they like?

Contrary to some opinions, CranioSacral therapy has proven itself as a scientifically valid and effective treatment. The studies are available for those who look for them.
As a therapist myself, I would strongly recommend CranioSacral in a case of plagiocephaly. I would suggest finding a certified CS Therapist at http://www.upledger.com (search within your area and call those who have the most training.) Children generally respond very well to this gentle treatment, even in cases of violent autism, the therapist is often a positive and calming figure in the individual’s life.
The treatment frequency is determined on a case by case basis. An average might be once or more a week for several weeks. In a well defined case like that of your child, I would expect a lengthy process – but consider this: the skull was deformed over a period of months within in the womb, how can we expect the body to change itself NATURALLY and healthily (CS promotes the body’s own curative ability) in much shorter time?
The therapy itself is very gentle and relaxing. The therapist will hold the child’s head and body and apply light pressure (the classic guideline is ‘the weight of a nickel) to specific areas.
