A release is not the whole picture. 🤍
I see this a lot. Baby has a release, but they’re still struggling with feeding, tension, function, etc. And everyone starts wondering why.
Sometimes baby had compensation patterns that weren’t addressed first.
Sometimes baby just wasn’t ready for the release.
And sometimes there wasn’t enough support before or after.
The release creates mobility. The work surrounding it is what helps create function.
That support might look like an IBCLC, myofunctional therapist, pediatric chiropractor, CST practitioner, pediatric OT, or a combination of them.
I really believe a good provider should want you to have that team in place before moving forward with a release.
Because doing the procedure without addressing everything around it can leave you wondering why you’re still seeing the same struggles.
The release matters. But so does everything before and after it. 🤍
