Children respond well to CST because it is gentle, non-invasive, and effective in ways they can intuitively recognize. Even small children quickly get used to the treatment as trust in the therapist is developed. Pre-verbal children may actually direct the therapist’s hands to areas of discomfort.
Whatever can be resolved during infancy or childhood, often in only a few sessions, can potentially prevent decades of medical and psychological treatment later on. In addition, resolution of misaligned forces makes us less accident-prone, because we are not “off-balance”.
