Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, light touch, hands-on therapeutic technique that works to decrease restriction and tension patterns, improves mobility, and function. 
 

Infants with tight oral tissues – lip, cheek and/or tongue ties – often experience restrictions elsewhere throughout the body. The baby may be tight throughout the neck, restricted at the base of their occiput, may have a recessed chin, difficulty with breathing, exhibit stiffness or tension throughout the body, may have torticollis, an asymmetrical face, plagiocephaly (flat spots) on the head, cranial bone overriding, and so on. 

CST may not directly treat oral ties, but it can help to reduce tension, increase mobility, improve alignment, release restrictions and holding patterns, improve latch to breast/chest or bottle, increase milk transference, decrease gas, reflux, colic and encourage well-being. 
Craniosacral Therapy addresses the body holistically. Like any other modality, it is not a one size fits all and can benefit greatly from having complimentary care providers working to support families and infants on their journies.
