Restoring Function from Infancy to Adolescence
Pediatric Manual Therapy Course
What is Pediatric Therapy?
Expand your clinical expertise with specialized training in pediatric manual therapy. Our courses provide licensed practitioners with the hands-on skills necessary to treat infants, toddlers, and children using gentle, evidence-based visceral manipulation and craniosacral techniques. It helps practitioners with the clinical skills needed to support a child’s development from birth through adolescence.
Why Specialize in
Pediatric Manual Therapy?
Children are not just small adults. Their developing nervous systems and unfused cranial bones require a specialized, “light-touch” approach. By integrating Visceral Manipulation and Craniosacral Therapy (CST), you can address the root causes of common childhood discomforts rather than just managing symptoms.
Core Learning Objectives
- Birth Trauma Resolution: Learn to release restrictions caused by C-sections, forceps, or vacuum-assisted deliveries.
- Infant Feeding Support: Master techniques to assist with tongue-tie (ankyloglossia), poor latch, and breastfeeding difficulties.
- Digestive Health: Apply visceral protocols to alleviate colic, acid reflux, and chronic constipation.
- Structural Balance: Address plagiocephaly (flat head syndrome) and torticollis through gentle cranial remodeling.
- Nervous System Regulation: Support children with sensory processing challenges, ADHD, and sleep disturbances.

Course Content: Pediatric Certification
CSP1: CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics 1
The Foundational Touch for Infants and Children Learn to adapt the CranioSacral protocol for the unique, developing anatomy of newborns and toddlers.
- What it treats: Colic, reflux, breastfeeding/latching difficulties, and restless sleep.
- How it helps: Releases dural and cranial restrictions to calm the infant’s nervous system and improve autonomic function.
CSP2: CranioSacral Therapy for Pediatrics 2
Advanced Clinical Applications Move into more complex developmental and neurological cases, including support for toddlers and school-aged children.
- What it treats: Torticollis (wry neck), tongue-tie (pre/post-frenectomy support), and chronic ear infections.
- How it helps: Refines the practitioner’s “listening” skills to address deeper structural and neurological developmental milestones.
VMP1: Visceral Manipulation for Pediatrics
Apply the principles of Visceral Manipulation to the soft, developing organs of infants and children.
- What it treats: Constipation, respiratory congestion, and abdominal discomfort.
- How it helps: Ensures that the internal organs have the necessary mobility to grow and function without pulling on the child’s musculoskeletal frame.
