A six-week-old baby presented with a zero-second brain cycle and a solid mass of fascial strain from his pelvis into his head. His sobbing mother did not know how to soothe him. He had napping issues, colic, reflux, mouth breathing, recessed chin, snoring, and took 1–3 hours for a full feeding—wow for a first-time mom.
The first visit resulted in a tremendous release in his fascial web. I checked in with mom the next day and received the following news.
A Mother Describes Her Son’s Response to Gillespie Approach Treatment
“My son was a different baby after yesterday’s session. He was so relaxed, calm, and present for the remainder of the day. We had way less tears, and he seemed overall much more content.
“His first stretch of sleep last night was 4½ hours long, which is the longest he’s ever gone. I didn’t want to wake him up to feed as I knew his body needed to reset and rest. It was also great for me to get that much sleep.
“Today, he is doing so much better than a typical day with again much less crying, fussing and seeming to be more comfortable without the needed stimulation from rocking, moving, and being outdoors. It’s an incredible change to see in just one session.
“I am excited to see how much more comfortable he can become in his own body as he heals and grows. We are excited to see you again tomorrow as my husband will be joining us!”
Dr. Barry Gillespie Writes
I am looking at all the issues he had and cannot imagine what his life would have been like without therapy.
No provider would ever have gotten to the root of his problem that his birth trauma had tightened his craniosacral fascial system. Twenty minutes of therapy changed his life. What kind of world would we live in if everyone had this opportunity at birth?
