Trusting the Wisdom Within With Craniosacral
One of the greatest things about Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is that this modality is all about trusting your own body’s wisdom to heal.
Yes it is important to find a Craniosacral Therapist who is knowledgeable and has good experience with your issues. However- the best session will be all about having faith in the process.
During a Craniosacral Session, the first thing your practitioner will do is listen to your body to find out where there might be dysfunctional patterns that lead to pain and other ailments. This is done by starting at the feet and moving up to the head in order to check for amplitude, symmetry and other qualities of the craniosacral rhythm throughout the body. Once the primary lesion is discovered, it is easy to go to that area and start the session for healing. The rest is about following the body’s response to the work.
During evaluation and thereafter, Craniosacral Therapy touch is gentle and non-invasive. There are very few contra-indications with CST, yet the effects are far reaching and profound in your healing process. The primary benefits that you will first feel are relief of pain, more flexibility and often more vitality. By working primarily with the Central Nervous System as the focus, a Craniosacral Therapist can dialogue with every other body system to support the integration of full body functioning. Often clients are unexpectingly surprised that there can be so much change in attitude, feeling and sensation after just a few session.

What is SomatoEmotional Release?
SomatoEmotional Release is based on the concept that the whole body and everything within down to the cellular level has both independent and integrated consciousness. Dr. John Upledger developed this therapeutic system of Craniosacral Therapy to support clients to release obstructive emotional energies from the unconscious mind to the conscious through listening and body dialoguing. The true benefit of this work is that is is designed to release your body of the residual effects of previous injuries and difficult experiences, leaving you feeling more healthy, vital and alive.
As a licensed Massage Therapist and Bodyworker for over 17 years, I have observed more than a few clients who have benefited from SomatoEmotional Release. These people often come in with pain, or challenges in everyday life, unable to identify the Source for healing. As the Craniosacral Sessions begins, what often happens with SER is that an old emotional energy begins to arise to be felt and processed. Feelings of sadness, fear or such will move and images or sensations may be awakened. Things that were stuck or internalized reach for the light so to speak to be felt, witnessed and observed for release. SomatoEmotional Release is facilitated by therapists trained in touch to tune into what your Inner Physician would like to do to help you move through into a clearer mind body spirit connection. On a physical level, the therapist will feel the tissues begin to relax and expand. The stress of the memory dissolves and a new outlook perhaps without words can be experienced.
Are you feeling Stuck?
It’s important to know: While we are not licensed psychotherapists, Upledger therapists are trained to support the client’s own process to unfold without interference. In a session, we often witness traumas ranging from pent up angry feelings from a divorce to cases of rape and PTSD in soldiers. As the body begins to release this old energy, clients find more insight into their life dynamics, metabolize their feelings easier and can make healthier choices on how to move forward in their lives. SER work can feel very freeing, integrating and joyful.

Back Pain
Lower Back Dysfunction can cause back pain and suffering.
How many things have you tried to find resolution to your pain?
Relieve Pain Symptoms
If you really want to feel better, it’s important to look long-term and holistically. I know that people want to find a quick fix- but that usually is not the best approach to healing. I also know it is easier for most people to go to the doctor and only get prescriptions to relieve pain- but maybe there is a better way that will truly address your real issue.
Engaging in an integrative program will help you to get to the core of the problem to restore better health and function.
Is your life worth feeling well?
Let’s begin with the obvious. Pain is the body’s way of saying, “something is wrong and I am out of balance.”
In particular, when the back is hurting- most likely there is some type of lesion interrupting the flow needed to nourish and support the spine and all the related organs in that area. When the tissues lose their nutrients, the connective tissue tends to dry out and get lumpy or adhered. The spinal cord which is composed of the vertebral bodies and paired sensory and motor nerves that are associated can become hyper-sensitive, hypertrophic, and hyper-irritable. Voila- a triggered nervous system igniting the sympathetic system with constant bombardment.
So what does this mean for you?
If you want to to find not only long term relief from back pain, but want to take it a step further to truly moving easier and feeling more vital and alive, it takes a commitment to make changes in your life. Speak to your doctor and come up with an all encompassing health plan. This means exercise, diet and finding a healing team to support you. Working with the fascia and the nervous system is one of the best things you can do to yourself to reverse misalignment issues. By engaging in a 10 series of Structural Integration with Craniosacral Therapy, you can optimize your posture and dis-impact/decompress bones that are causing dysfunctions. Normalizing and releasing adhesions and lesion patterns will bring back your line and feelings of relaxation. As the connective tissue softens and hydrates, you will find yourself feeling more space and opening throughout your whole body.
We all want to feel our best. The challenge is whether you want to stand behind the choice of wellness. In most cases, unless there has been a recent accident, it takes years for pain to become unbearable. Give yourself some time and the care you need to turn things around. Miracles can happen, but be in the process of healing and the wisdom of your body will show you the way.
