CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral Therapy releases restrictions in the craniosacral system, which surrounds the brain and spinal cord. This light-touch therapy improves the central nervous system, allowing it to better relieve stress and strengthen resistance to disease.
I like to describe CranioSacral Therapy as a very gentle, light touch therapy that releases tension deep within the central nervous system, so that every other system in the body can self correct.
The Central Nervous System is the "command control center" of your entire body. It tells everything else in your body what to do; therefore, when restrictions are released in this system, full body healing can take place more easily.
SomatoEmotional Release is a therapeutic process that expands on the principles of CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual effects of trauma. Joint research efforts by Dr. John Upledger and biophysicist Dr. Zvi Karni led to the discovery that the body often retains (rather than dissipates) physical forces. This is often the result of an accident, injury, or emotional trauma. The dysfunctional area is isolated, creating what is called an "energy cyst". Although a reasonably healthy body can adapt to "energy cysts", extra energy is required to perform normal bodily functions. As time passes, the adaptive pattern of the body loses its effectiveness. Symptoms begin to appear and, over time, become more difficult to suppress. The SomatoEmotional Release process requires extreme sensitivity on the part of the therapist and a positive attitude and trust from the client/patient.
I find that most all of my clients benefit from CranioSacral Therapy and/or SomatoEmotional Release. The most frequent problems I have treated in my clients are mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ dysfunction, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, and chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Clients who have experienced trauma (such as vehicle accidents, falls, etc.) also find this therapy very beneficial.
