Osteopathy
If a baby has torticollis, had an instrumental delivery or breech position these are all good reasons to try osteopathy if you can afford it. Babies with tongue ties often compensate with other muscles. Tongue tie release often has improved outcomes when combined with osteopathy.
Note: Craneo sacral therapists are not as qualified/regulated as Cranio sacral Osteopaths-be careful of the difference!
Here’s a page from the Association of tongue tie practitioners UK about how osteopathy and other manual therapies can complement lactation support.
