Experienced osteopaths using cranial and biodynamic osteopathic techniques are successfully helping children and young adults with these difficulties. Biodynamic and cranial osteopathy can help the brain overcome injury which may have occurred in it’s development. It can improve the functioning of the central nervous system and enable it to make new neural connections through neuroplasticity.
Experienced Osteopaths have found that shock in the early stages of development of the young infant or child will affect the functioning of the central and autonomic nervous systems. These shocks can occur through a difficult birth, early illness, or accident/injury, even on occasion in utero.
Vascular accidents through the compression of blood vessels or anything else which causes reduced blood or oxygen supply to the brain for a period of time may also have a detrimental effect on the brain or autonomic nervous system. Often these are issues are not just on the localized to tissue of the brain, but they also seem to reduce the freedom of motion in the surrounding tissues such as the meninges which help protect the brain and carry the blood vessels to the brain.
Compression of the developing nerves coming out through the base of skull, or blood vessels entering through the base of the skull, whether through positioning in the womb or through the birthing process can affect the subsequent functioning of those nerves. These nerves control the functioning of
Cranial and Biodynamic Osteopathy work to free the inherent motion within the developing bones of the head and spinal column, central nervous system itself. Gentle fluid techniques can free shock in the nervous system, release compression, and restore good blood supply to the brain. They can improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid which supplies the nutrients to the neural tissues. It also restores good blood supply in the head and spine.
This enables the nervous system to remould and form new neural connections through a neuroplastic process. It can also improve nerve conduction and blood supply to and from the organs of the head and body.
Osteopathy can also be helpful when the nervous system is irritated and produces fitting or seizures. It works well on helping to free tension and spasm in the muscles in the spine and legs and arms. The gentle fluid techniques can be helpful in supporting immune function and difficulties with the body coping with the sometimes-high levels of medication required.
Osteopathic care of some children with special needs is sometimes a long-term process. We try to help them cope with the various challenges encountered as they grow, to help them maximise their potential.
Children and adults with these difficulties present with a wide variety of issues. Often due to the developmental difficulties. The gentle techniques of Cranial and Biodynamic Osteopathy work to alleviate the physical and health difficulties faced by these people. and support the of health in the body on many levels where abnormal anatomy and physiology occur. Osteopathy can also be helpful when the nervous system is irritated and produces fitting or seizures. It also works well on helping to free tension and spasm in the muscles in the spine and legs and arms.
