Baby Brain Score - Infant-Driven Movement - CFT - Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

The BBS/CFT/IDM Model and Health-Related “Quality of Life”

As health care has evolved, scientists have discovered many monumental advancements such as penicillin, v*ccines, antisepsis, sanitation, and anesthesia. These spectacular modalities have saved hundreds of millions of lives. We believe that in the “quality of life” aspect, the Baby Brain Score/ Craniosacral Fascial Therapy/ Infant Driven Movement (BBS/CFT/IDM) model for every newborn brings a significant advancement to the global table.

We believe that the seeds of many cognitive and structural health issues are sown at birth due to fetal trauma. We believe that a simple screening test (BBS) can indicate if a newborn is significantly predisposed to develop “quality of life” conditions. If the BBS designates restriction of her/his craniosacral fascial system, we believe that CFT/IDM can greatly increase her/his “quality of life” potential by mitigating the effects of her/his fetal trauma. Foremost, the function of her/his central nervous system can optimize to avert many cognitive issues such as lack of focus/ concentration and reading difficulty. Secondly, therapy can nip many structural diseases such as asthma, earache, and headache in the bud before surfacing later in life.

Our goal is for the BBS/CFT/IDM model to be incorporated into the world’s birth package to maximize every newborn’s “quality of life” potential.
