CranioSacral

CranioSacral – How it can help!

What is it? The CranioSacral system consists of the Brain, Spinal Cord, the Dural Tube (which encloses, protects, and feeds the central nervous system), the Skull, and the Sacrum. The methodology to treat this system was developed by John E. Upledger in the 1970’s. upledger.com Brain and Spinal cord Covered by 3-layered Dural Tube At top: Dural tube covers the brain and attaches to the inside of skull At bottom it attaches to the sacrum. This tube has its own pulse of 8-11 beats per minute. The pulse moves the cerebral spinal fluid through the Central Nervous System, cleaning out debris and Bringing it nutrition.

How can this system be damaged?

Bone Breaks
Muscle pulls or permanent spasms in muscles
Falls, especially on the tailbone or back
Chemicals and toxins – vaccines, glyphosates, other toxins in air and food
Childbirth – trauma during childbirth can affect both mother and baby
Trauma to the head – direct hit, hitting head getting in the car, whiplash
Dental work, and much, much more……

Some of the problems/symptoms which can occur are:

  • headaches/migraines
  • persistent sinus problems
  • speech problems
  • hearing and visual impairment
  • coordination (especially noticeable with children and teens wearing braces)
  • dystrophy of soft tissue
  • malfunction of internal organs (stomach, spleen, liver, gall bladder, etc.)
  • hormonal imbalances
  • autism tendencies
  • ADD/ADHD
  • running into things (like always hitting the side of doors or running into a table)
  • symptoms diagnosed as muscular dystrophy or multiple sclerosis
  • in babies: twisted tongue or limp-baby-syndrome
  • Stress/Anxiety/Fearfulness
  • Dental work, surgeries, anything that can damage the CNS or nerves running to it.

Who can get CranioSacral?

Anyone – from newborn infants through end of life.

What is a session like?

  • The client can keep their clothes on, except for belts and shoes.
  • Usually, they lie on a table on their back (this can vary with client needs).
  • The therapist VERY GENTLY touches/holds portions of the skull, spine, and sacrum to release blockages and allow the system to correct itself.
  • Often the clients actually go to sleep and into deep relaxation during the session.

Some of my successes include:

  • Children: Limp babies, Tongue ties, Head shaping, Autism, Constipation, Nursing
  • Young Children to adults: Stuttering, ADD/ADHD, Autism, speech problems, clumsiness, inability to make decisions, seizures
  • Adults: Stroke victims, recovery from procedures, endocrine imbalance, IBS, etc.
  • ALL AGES: Anxiety, Panic, Fears (biggest group at this time)
  • Tongue tied (many)
  • Stroke victims (many)
  • Autism (main core of my Craniosacral work for many years)
  • Stuttering (several people of various ages)
  • Fear, Anxiety, ADD/ADHD, Panic (main core of my Craniosacral work at this time)
