CASE STORY
April is also National Autism  
Awareness Month 

To honor both CranioSacral Therapy and Autism in April, and the well-established history of CST being recognized as a beneficial effective therapy for children on the Autism spectrum, we are sharing this transformational story:



"The Autistic Twins"

Excerpt from An Answer To Your Pain:
CranioSacral Therapy for Health and Healing

Submitted by Karen Heyden, BA, LMT - Belleville, Illinois
CranioSacral Therapy Practitioner since 2008

A mother of three-year-old male autistic twins called to ask me whether CranioSacral Therapy (CST) could help her sons. She had researched CST online and hoped it could help. Following a brief discussion, she made an appointment for each of the boys.

Our first session was with son Brian.* As he walked in, I observed that he made no eye contact and kept repeating, "No, no." He carried a tablet loaded with educational games. One foot was toed-in and his back was slightly crooked. His neck was slightly pulled down to one side.

Moving to the treatment room, Brian immediately started to play a game. After ten minutes of "no, no," he finally allowed me to touch him and start the CST.
