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.
