CranioSacral Therapy (CST)
CranioSacral therapy (CST) is a powerful way to help reset the nervous system. It is a gentle, hands-on technique that works to reestablish the flow of cerebrospinal fluid through the brain and spinal column, allowing for a deeply relaxing and restorative experience.
The craniosacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. Cerebrospinal fluid is produced by the brain and flows through this system, circulating between the cranium (skull), the vertebral column (spine), and the sacrum (lower back).
Blockages can occur in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and can result in dysfunction throughout the body. Common causes of these blockages include injuries, postural patterns, emotional patterns, and birth trauma.
Where there is blockage to flow, there is stagnation. And where there is stagnation, there is pain or dysfunction. The gentle techniques of craniosacral therapy assist the body to resolve these resistance patterns and reestablish the natural flow within the body.
Craniosacral therapy uses the body’s innate wisdom to restore health and gives the individual an opportunity to find a place of quiet and healing in order to self-correct. Because emotions are stored in our tissue, craniosacral therapy is very effective at helping to release emotional blockages in a safe way. It engages the subconscious mind and helps it to be able to dialog with the body in a way that can bring greater freedom and health.
Myofascial Release (MFR)
Myofascial release (MFR) as taught by John Barnes is a whole body hands-on form of bodywork that consists of gentle sustained pressure into fascial restrictions.
Fascia is a tough connective tissue that spreads throughout the body in a three-dimensional web from head to foot without interruption. The fascial system surrounds every muscle, bone, organ, nerve, and blood vessel down to the cellular level. Therefore, trauma, posture and/or inflammation can create a locking down of fascia resulting in excessive pressure on any or all of these structures.
Over time, the tightness spreads resulting in loss of flexibility and/or discomfort/pain. This in turn sets your body up for more trauma, pain, and lack of mobility. These strong fascial restrictions begin to pull the body out of alignment resulting in inefficient movement and posture, expending more energy than it needs.
Our skilled MFR therapist will evaluate you for your particular diagnosis/symptoms and perform a postural assessment. From this, an individualized treatment plan will be tailored to release myofascial restrictions throughout the body.
MFR is particularly helpful in the treatment of chronic conditions that have not been resolved by traditional methods. It is effective in the treatment of many diagnoses
Lymphatic Drainage Therapy
Surgery, even if it saves your life, is a major attack to the body’s natural functioning. It’s invasive and shocks every system into defense mode. There are so many things that happen to the body during surgery. Just to name a few, the body is exposed to toxins in the air which increases the risk of infection, the drugs and anesthetics can be detrimental to the body and mind, and there is even a chance of malnutrition because the body will use every beneficial nutrient and vitamin in order to heal. The body is being assaulted and as a result, it’s going to do everything it can to save itself, pushing every system into overdrive.
The lymphatic system is severely overwhelmed and overworked during and after surgery. This is your body’s main contributor to fighting off infection and keeping your immune system strong.
Invasive surgery devastates the lymphatic system, often causing increased swelling, high risk of infection, malnutrition, and a variety of other possible post surgical complications.
If the surgery is to remove lymph nodes, such as in cases of breast cancer patients, then there is an even higher risk of developing lymphatic complications because there is a direct assault to the system itself.
Receiving lymphatic therapy after surgery, when done carefully and by a professional, can greatly reduce the risks of infection and minimize swelling. The gentle movement of massaging the nodes and vessels will increase the flow of the fluid, relax the system, and allow the lymphocytes (infection-fighting cells) to multiply at higher rates without over-exerting themselves.
