Craniosacral therapy for 3 year old with plagiocephaly, can this work?

NO: AS you might know this is a skull deformity. RApid growth, premature closure of cranial sutures, position of sleep all contribute to it. Similarly, unless very severe--there are neurosurgical criteria for this, the child outgrows it. It is of mere cosmetic significance, if at all. Do remember hair growth, facial growth, etc will alter final appearance.

Plagiocephaly: By the age of 3 years the skull has become quite firm and not malleable so craniosacral therapy is not indicated in this age group for treatment of plagiocephaly.
