How a “baby from hell” turned angel.

Little Demi Hodge put a huge strain on her parents by only sleeping a couple of hours during the night, but all she needed was a special touch from cranial osteopath John Williams of Atlas Pain Relief Centre in Tamworth, Staffordshire.
Watching angel faced Demi play with a cuddly toy, its hard to believe her mother labelled her “the baby from hell”. With her big brown eyes and silky hair put up in pigtails, Demi is now 16 months old and a far cry from the little devil she was a few months ago. The difference ?. Sleep. Up until recently Demi only slept for a couple of hours at a time and poor mom and dad could not get a proper nights sleep. This had continued from birth and after a year both parents were shattered and found coping with work and lack of sleep a real problem.

Desperate for a solution mom Gaynor visited Atlas Osteopath John Williams in Tamworth and explained the situation. The specialist treatment of cranial osteopathy is a fast growing area in the profession but requires many years of specialist training. John who has experience working in a london baby clinic and has undergone post graduate training in Italy and Leeds explained that forces exerted on the child during birth can have a traumatic effect on their development. Even caesarean births can have problems as the child is removed before the moulding process is completed.

John set to work on baby Demi and this involves cradling the head in a special way to palpate movement of cerebral spinal fluid (CSF) and very subtle movement of cranial bones. John admits it took 3 years of feeling heads before finally his palpation skills were sharp enough to undertake this type of work.

Following just one treatment, baby Demi began sleeping for 8 hours during the night and both parents were astounded. Following 3 further treatments Demi was discharged a different child. Mom Gaynor admits “it has taken so much stress away from both of us and it even feels as though we have a totally different child now”. Demi is happy and no longer irritable and both parents can get a good nights sleep. Gaynor has passed the phone number of Atlas Pain Relief Centre onto her health visitor and her GP so that other parents may get help

John is delighted he can be of help to anxious parents, and points out that with cranial work on babies you not only treat the infant but the whole family unit is affected, and if successful anxiety from parents and the whole family unit is reduced.
