Discover the synergy of occupational therapy (OT) and craniosacral therapy (CST); a powerful combination for assessing and supporting babies’ development! Kaili Ets shares her journey as a pediatric occupational therapist and how she discovered the benefits of CST. She explains that by addressing body tension, realigning cranial bones, and regulating the nervous system, CST and OT can support babies and children in achieving their developmental milestones, improving sensory processing, and enhancing emotional regulation. She also emphasizes the need for more healthcare professionals to be trained in craniosacral therapy and the benefits it can bring to their practice.
