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.

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.

Great for relieving neck and back pain.
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
