Description
Plagiocephaly of craniosacral origin
Book summary
This work offers an innovative osteopathic vision of plagiocephaly, a cranial deformation that is becoming increasingly common in babies. Through the clinical experience of the author, Agnès Pierson, the book explores a little-known origin of this condition, linked to the craniosacral system. The reader will find a clear and direct explanation that challenges commonly accepted causes, supported by anatomical and physiological data. It is essential reading for healthcare professionals and parents seeking to understand the deep roots of this problem and the possibilities for treatment through osteopathy.
What is it about?
The book addresses plagiocephaly, a cranial flattening that appears after birth or in the first months of life. It questions the usual explanation that attributes this deformation to the supine sleeping position, noting that this practice is ancient and had not previously generated such a high incidence. The author, Agnès Pierson, presents her osteopathic approach, focused on the craniosacral origin of the condition. Based on more than twenty years of clinical experience and verified knowledge of anatomy and physiology, she presents a perspective that links plagiocephaly to imbalances in the baby's craniosacral system. The text offers detailed information on how osteopathy can intervene to treat this problem, providing an alternative and well-founded look that is still little known to the general public.
