How Craniosacral Fascial Therapy Can Help Babies with Torticollis and Plagiocephaly
Is Your Baby Always Turning Their Head One Way? This Gentle Therapy Can Help
If you’ve noticed your baby consistently turning their head to one side or developing a flat spot, you’re not alone—and there is a gentle, natural solution that could help. At Wobbly Beginnings, we support babies through common early developmental challenges like torticollis and plagiocephaly using a holistic, hands-on approach called Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT).
Hi, I’m Dr. Jessica Leland, pediatric physical therapist and founder of Wobbly Beginnings in New Hampshire. I’m here to explain how CFT works, why it’s effective, and how it can support your baby’s growth, comfort, and development—starting from the inside out.
What Is Infant Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)?
The Gentle Power of Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) for Infants
Did you know that tension in your baby’s body can affect their feeding, sleep, and overall comfort? Infant Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is a gentle, hands-on approach that helps release restrictions in the body’s fascia and craniosacral system, promoting ease of movement and relaxation.
CFT can be especially beneficial for babies experiencing feeding difficulties, tongue-tie concerns, reflux, torticollis, or body asymmetry. By using a light touch—no more than the weight of a nickel—practitioners gently guide the body toward balance, helping babies move, feed, and rest more comfortably.
