 What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a light touch approach in bodywork that invites profound change and improvement into your life. It releases deep tensions from around the brain and spine to relieve pain and dysfunction while improving whole body health and performance. A seasoned Craniosacral Therapist begins by gently listening to different areas of the body in order to monitor the craniosacral fluid’s rhythm that is flowing around the Central Nervous System.  It is possible to get a sense of where the flow is strong, weak or out of balance.  As the Craniosacral Therapist follows the listening, she can move toward the source of the dysfunction and help to rebalance the problem areas. A Craniosacral Therapist is also trained to gather information within the fascia, a connective tissues that wraps around the body and interconnects as a web throughout the body. By using both hands to re-educate the memory of tissues, the body starts to remember a more healthy and relaxed state of being.

What are the benefits of Craniosacral Therapy?

First and foremost, Craniosacral Therapy balances the nervous system.  For people who hyped up and have a difficult time relaxing,  they will generally notice a deep letting go of tension and stress.  On the other side of the coin, people who are tired and find themselves with low energy often feel more vital and sharp. By bringing the body back into balance, it resets itself to operate more efficiently. Because the Central Nervous System is engaged with the rest of the body, CST is helpful in other areas as well.  some of the conditions that CST address are:

  • ADD/ADHS
  • Scoliosis
  • Central Nervous System Disorders
  • Infant and Childhood Disorders
  • Chronic Neck and Back Pain
  • Migraine and Headaches
  • Stress and Tension Related Disosrders
  • Chronic Fatigue
  • TMJ
  • PTSD
  • Orthopedic Problems
  • Learning Disabilities
  • Fibromyalgia
  • Coordination Challenges
  • Balances out Emotional Feelings
  • Autism

Peppermint in its Essential oil form has many medicinal properties along with its great flavor.  When used during an aromatherapy massage, the peppermint oil can be both energizing and soothing.  It is an excellent digestive, acts as an anti-inflammatory, aids in respiration and circulation. When applied with a base oil, at first the sensation may be close to that of the candy, with a crisp awakening touch.  However, as the oils are absorbed, circulation increases and a general sense of overall warmth takes its place. This makes peppermint a good oil to use for headaches, toothaches, fatigue and bad breath. It’s also a wonderful scent that brings about a lively alertness to life.

Craniosacral Therapy and Autism

Craniosacral Therapy 

When I work with clients,  I am totally aware of the shifts and changes that take place during the Massage session. The tissues under my hands are alive and speaking to me through the movements and rhythms. Often clients quickly move from a stressful state into such deep relaxation after applying a still point that I hear light snoring in a matter of minutes. It brings me pleasure to help people find their inner peace through Massage, Craniosacral therapy and other treatments that I share.

But- there is more than deep relaxation that happens during a Craniosacral Therapy Session. Craniosacral Therapists who are trained at the Advanced level learn to encourage the body into “still point” which can provide a very positive effect on the Central Nervous System.  

What is a still point?  

It is a temporary pause in the cerebral spinal fluid circulation through your brain and spinal cord.  Inducing a still point will eventually flush out the system as the fluid rushes back in to nourish.  The still point can help children and adults with autism to relax deeply so that they can receive the other Craniosacral techniques.  It’s very quieting and fulfilling.  

If you are interested in finding out more about how Cranialsacral can help with autism, check out the following link from the Upledger Institute,  Dr. Upledger 

Parents of children with autism often report that their children with occasional treatment, are able to have better eye contact and able to release stress easier.
