At birth, pressures on the head and spine are tremendous, and can leave permanent torsion and compression patterns in the body, unless released by someone trained in cranial sacral osteopathy.

Viola Frymann, D.O., founder of the Osteopathic Center for Children in San Diego, California, studied the impact of birth on babies and found through palpation of 1,500 newborns in San Diego hospitals that 85-90% of all babies have some kind of spinal/pelvic misalignment and also that cranial compression occurs, in some more than others, depending on birth circumstances.

Osteopathy can prevent the following, especially if a child is treated early in life. Treatment can begin within the first week of life.
