The treatment of structures within the mediastinum, especially the treatment of the oesophagus, seems to fascilitate the treatment success of babies with cranial asymmetries. The author summarizes treatment results from 100 children osteopathically treated in the last four years. Her way obtaining cognition leads her via the studies of available anatomic publications and books to her own inductive processing of knowledge. This resulted in her own development of techniques providing the treatment of this in osteopathy seldom attended region and addressing the mental processing of birth traumas.
