CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy was founded and developed by Dr. John Upledger, an osteopathic physician. He developed this healing method while doing clinical research at Michigan State from 1975 to 1983. He now teaches his methods of healing all over the world.
CranioSacral is a gentle hands-on healing method where the therapist is working to open and balance the cerebrospinal fluid that runs from the Sacrum (tailbone) up the spine and into the Cranium (skull). This helps rid the mind and body of residual effects of trauma. The therapist monitors the rhythm of the CranioSacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord. Treatment can occur anywhere on the body to release the tenion, including inside the mouth!
In doing this many of our ailments can be alleviated. Treatments can help:
SomatoEmotional Release
Have you ever had a physical injury that seems to plague you long after the injury occurred? This is a common occurrence and can be released through CranioSacral Therapy. Restrictions in the body tissues are released and sometimes a release of emotional energy, which may or may not include emotions being expressed. Sometimes this is necessary to fully discharge a trauma and the injuries attached to it.
Although you can adapt to energy cysts over time your body uses additional energy to continue performing its day-to-day functions. You may find that you become more and more tired as time goes on. The lack of energy is one side-effect of dis-ease within the body. As years pass-by the body becomes more stressed, it can lose its ability to adapt. That's when symptoms and dysfunctions begin to appear and become difficult to suppress or ignore.
The therapist engages imaging and dialoguing techniques that can guide the patient through an otherwise challenging encounter with long-held emotions. The patient does not need to analyze the problem to release it. The body is then free to return to its optimal levels of functioning.
Occationally trama has happened during the birthing process and has been a part of what we deal with on a day-to-day basis. This too can be corrected with treatment, at any age.
Along with energy work you will find a CranioSacral Treatment not only relaxing, but revitalizing and freeing!
