Prevention at birth - Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

Prevention at Birth

For the new readers I was blessed to experience my first infant session in 1980. I found that most newborns get tight with in utero, labor, and delivery trauma. Their craniosacral fascial systems become restricted. We found in our infant research that this tightness can cause a lot of illnesses.

We reasoned that if we could identify this tightness at birth (The Baby Brain Score or BBS) and mitigate it then (craniosacral fascial therapy or CFT), these conditions could be prevented.

Prevention at birth just makes a lot of sense to me. I hope the world will see that too someday.
