How does Cranial Osteopathy treat Reflux in babies?

It aims to treat by releasing tensions or imbalances in the baby that may have occurred as a result of positioning within the womb or the birth itself. The local cause is an imbalance of the diaphragm and associated dysfunction of the oesophageal sphincter. This will be part of a whole body pattern, which will include a tightness and irritability in the chest and throat. By releasing these stresses, reflux symptoms can improve dramatically, negating the need for medication.
