BODYWORK FOR BABIES
This book is revolutionary for infant and pediatric health and wellness.
 
Employing a fusion of craniosacral therapy, lymphatic techniques, modified visceral-myofascial-interstitial mobilization, Susan Vaughan Kratz shares treatment routines honed through years of therapy encounters with babies. Written for any healthcare professional who can practice manual therapies, this book is also a gift to all parents who wish to understand their baby's development and behaviors better. When their baby simply is not 'growing out of an issue', there are answers waiting to be discovered in the body. The body knows what the problem is and will guide the trained therapist to the exact spot. 
 
The methods offered in this book have assisted in resolving digestive issues such as colic, reflux, constipation, and breastfeeding difficulties. Torticollis, tongue-tie, movement delays and reflex integration, misshapen heads, irritability and sleep difficulties are also routinely helped in significantly less time than traditional therapies. Self-regulation and sensory modulation are behaviors that communicate from the autonomic nervous system, and Bodywork for Babies has proven to be a direct treatment that helps the parasympathetic system become active, which turns on the "rest and digest" mode. Bodywork for Babies can be a wellness “spa-like treatment” as well as remedial intervention when functional problems don’t resolve on their own.

While structural medicine suggests ways to discern the autonomic state continuum of the whole body, neurobehavioral principles, such as self-regulation and sensory modulation management, have become a primary need in therapeutic services for babies and children. Determining if irregular behaviors are “sensory” or “behavioral” is a daily challenge facing pediatric therapists. 

It is well-accepted that sensory and behavioral difficulties reflect autonomic nervous system physiology. Tension and tone of organs, blood vessels, and lymphat
