Cranial Osteopathy can benefit children with learning difficulties as diverse as
dyspraxia,dyslexia, Downs syndrome, autistic spectrum disorders, cerebral
palsy, epilespy., concentration difficulties, ADHD and hydrocephalus. This is
because any underlying tightness in the skeleton or neural tissues will tend to
increase the child’s difficulties. Tightness in the body could be due to problems during the child’s gestation or birth, or could be because of traumatic incidents since such as
illnesses, accidents or operations. The child’s body can be left tense, uncomfortable or in a “hyper alert” state. In this case where physical factors are exaggerating the symptoms of a learning
difficulty Cranial Osteopathy can help by settling the child’s body back to its optimal state thereby improving the child’s ability to concentrate and interact, reducing irritability / mood swings,
improving balance, enabling the child to better organize themselves, reducing
the struggle of learning and improving general wellbeing.
Of course, not all children with learning or concentration difficulties have
underlying physical problems that challenge their ability to learn or
concentrate. If there are no physical problems to treat then there still may be
other ways to help the child. For instance by looking into dietary changes that
have been known to help children with similar problems (typically cutting out
all additives helps, but a professional Food Intolerance Tester would be
helpful in highlighting which particular things to cut out in each individual
case) and supplementing the diet with essential fatty acids. Also consider
consulting an experienced Homeopath.
In order to distinguish the children Cranial Osteopathy can help from the ones
it probably cannot we like to discuss the symptoms and the child’s medical history on the telephone first with the parents or guardians. Please
also see Behavioural Problems in Children.
