People turn to alternative therapies like craniosacral, when traditional therapies don’t work.
CranioSacral Therapy is a light touch, non-invasive therapy that releases deeper tension in the body and the soft tissue that surrounds the central nervous system.
It is done face up (supine), clothed on a massage table. So, it actually makes it more accessible and comfortable already!
What is a session like?
A 10 Step Protocol is used to give a framework of a session. It begins with stopping the craniosacral fluid, in what is called a still point. I often instruct my clients on how to do this on their own later if they want. Next, we focus on some of the chakra areas of the body and gently following the muscular restrictions that surround them. I place one hand below the chakra area and one hand above. Next we focus on the cranium and working with any imbalances of the plates of the head. It is so VERY gentle, however profound changes occur, the physical and sometimes emotional trauma is released. Sometimes the effects of trauma is released afterward.
Emotions find a way to manifest themselves physically and are often linked with tension. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) works to locate these areas of tension that are restricting optimal function of the brain and spinal cord that make up the basis of the central nervous system. Kleenex is available and no judgement is every made. I am a big believer in crying. You must feel it to heal it!
What are the benefits of CST?
Because of the gentle, calming nature of CST, it is a wonderful therapy alternative for treating both anxiety and depression, as well as a wide range of migraines. As tension is released, the body’s ability to self-correct and combat stress is increased. A calmer nervous system allows for a stronger and more resilient mind and body.
Physical trauma not only impacts connective tissue, but can become embedded in it. CST is able to address the physiological/biomechanical stress from the injury, as well as the neurological patterns that may have occurred as a result. The delicate touch of CST is a comprehensive and effective way to address all of these issues.
