Benefits of
Craniosacral Therapy
Managing everyday stress & tension
Modern life can be busy and complicated, often overwhelming our systems and causing imbalance physically and emotionally. Our bodies have a natural healing potential but this can be negatively impacted when stresses and strains of everyday life cause the system to become overloaded and unable to cope.
Our central nervous system can become overstimulated and activate the sympathetic nervous system “Fight / Flight” mode, which keeps our body high on adrenaline and adds additional overload to our systems. This can be caused by stress, anxiety, tension, injury, illness physical or emotional trauma. If this is a short-term acute situation it can be a normal stress response and does us no harm. However, if it becomes frequent and sustained it can cause longer-term chronic conditions and deterioration in healthy function.
Craniosacral Therapy facilitates and supports the body to naturally reconnect to itself, allowing activation of the parasympathetic nervous system “Rest / Digest” mode. Thus, restoring, revitalising and re-integrating holistic healthy function of the body, mind, soul and spirit of the whole self. The parasympathetic nervous system is crucial to allowing healthy normal function of all our thoracic, abdominal and pelvic organs in order to prevent long-term disease.
A natural healing ability
The human body is a living matrix of natural biodynamic forces. Quantum science demonstrates that healing potential stems from the electromagnetic and other forces which surround us and permeates our universe. This forms the basis of physics, chemistry and biology, which is well understood in the scientific world. All living beings, our environment and the whole matrix in which we all exist, are responsible for generating life, growth, health and healing. These forces can often be referred to as our (aura) or energy field expressed as a rhythmic motion – referred to as the Craniosacral Rhythm.
Shock & Trauma
Shock and trauma can accumulate within the tissues, energy field , mind and heart as the body natural defence to injuries and stresses of everyday life. This can gradually wear our systems down and overwhelm us preventing healthy mental and physical function. This can form the underlying cause of most health disturbances. Release of shock and trauma is a fundamental aspect of craniosacral therapy.
Prevention and restoration
Treatment connects with fascia, a thin layer of connective tissue that sits between and supports muscle, bone and our internal organs. It envelopes everything in our bodies from within the cranium to the tips of our toes. It holds tissue memory to all that has happened to us since birth. This includes and stress or trauma from our own birth, any accidents or injuries and any pathology (disease) patterns. Fascia used to be regarded as merely packing material that was insignificant. However, in the last 15 years we have discovered that fascia holds the key to so much within the body and its profoundly significant role in health (Ease) and poor health (Dis-Ease). During treatment we engage with fascia to facilitate fascial release and unwind. This can involve a more mechanical approach which is quite hands on and physical. This process is led by the clients body and its needs, which is referred to as fascial unwinding and this can facilitate profound outcomes. These can release (not only) physical, but also memory recall, bereavement and emotional responses too.
Penetrating to the deepest levels to improve health
The Craniosacral Therapy engages with the rhymic motion, a process which penetrates to the deepest levels of our being and induces profound self-healing, enabling our full potential for enhanced underlying health.
Craniosacral therapy reaches deeper levels of healing, not generally accessed by other more physical or invasive means (which might induce the body’s protective mechanisms) and is therefore able to connect with and enhance the deeper levels within. Root causes of severe and profoundly debilitating disease can be connected with and released, as well as relieving less severe conditions.
Naturally promoting underlying health
Craniosacral therapy is a powerful but gentle treatment using a butterfly-like touch (sometimes hardly touching the body at all) that engages with deep inherent healing forces within the body to help the system to become balanced and restored to normal and efficient functioning. It is therefore a profound and powerful type of healing.
Treats every aspect of the whole self
Craniosacral Therapy treats the whole person and therefore can induce, physical, mental, emotional and spiritual release. The engagement with fascia deep within the body gives unique access to the deepest underlying levels and therefore the most profound and holistic types of relief from a multitude of symptoms and conditions.
