Unlocking the Healing Energy of Your Heart After a Masectomy

Aftercare for Masectomy

Undergoing a masectomy can’t be easy for any woman. The healing process can take time. The hospital will send you home with all the information you need to take immediate care of yourself. Yet whether you decide to do reconstruction or not, the tissues can heal better, when you are ready, with gentle touch, listening and melding.

Once your general recovery after the mastectomy is finished, you might want to investigate bodywork. Lymphatic Massage can help with drainage and managing swelling. It’s non-invasive and can be helpful long-term. Craniosacral Therapy can also be very helpful because it focuses on the Craniosacral System, which can help enliven the nervous system functioning after surgery. It also can help to soften the fascia and bring about better circulation and sensation. Fascia is the connective tissue that surrounds and holds the body together from a cellular level to all the wrapping around all the components through the web of its structure in the whole body.

I have often worked with women around the breast tissue and after surgery. Listening and melding with the tissues can support a great shift to feeling better about yourself, and how you feel. Also, with the gentle techniques, with an experienced Craniosacral Therapist, he/she can support you to process through them easier with body centered care. Most often Craniosacral Therapist get into this type of work because they have a lot of heart. Support like this can help you to feel more deeply into your heart again too.

Chronic Pain: A Treatment Which Could Change Your Life

Are You Suffering from Chronic Pain?

Chronic Pain is a persistent state When pain lasts longer than 3 months it’s considered chronic pain.

Chronic Pain shows up in the body in people dealing with; arthritis, cancer & its’ treatments, headaches & migraines, nerve damage, lyme desease, people surviving traumas, and fibroymalgia. The list goes on.

I had had clients go to their doctors and the best thing that is offered are medications. While medication has it’s place and can be helpful, there is also an integrative approach that can be more holistic. Looking at the whole person is key to helping people deal with chronic pain on a daily basis. Having a healing team to support is vital.

As a Craniosacral Therapist, what we offer is a “Listening” to the Body’s Craniosacral System. There are rhtyms and pulses that we feel. Our hands are directed toward toward the key essence places in the essence of your nervous system. To me, it feels like everyone has a deep well of resource inside that knows how to get the body feeling better. All it needs is a nudge. The body knows what to do next.

My job as a Craniosacral Therapist is to support and help your own healing abilities to bring about self-correction and self-healing. Your body on some level has chosen to go awry. And it also needs to learn to return back to health the best it can in order for you to feel better in your body.

When the internal environment of your body is functioning better through manual work, if opens a window. But also we must look at other things like life style, nutrition and the external environment in which you live too. How is your mental state? Because often people feeling chornic pain are anxious and live in depression.

I really wished we had a health care system that looked at the whole person. We deserve a better model to really see us and acknowledge our pain. But even more importantly, we need a team of people to help us to optimize our own inner resources to turn things around. Begin where you can.

I will say, as being one part of the cogency, that I do see improvement in people who come to see me quite reqularly. With the somatoemotional support they are experiencing their connection to the whole more fully. They can feel this mentally, emotioanlly and also physically.

While Chronic Pain is a continuing set of symptoms. Craniosacral Therapy can enhance a person’s wellbeing. Get support. It can change your life!

Teacher Assistant for Upledger

by SharonHartnett | Jun 22, 2014 | Craniosacral Therapy, Massage License in Ohio: 33.007505-H-K

Today was the first day of the four day class for Upledger Craniosacral Therapy 2 in Columbus, Ohio 2014.

I really enjoy these opportunities to get involved in bringing this great work to my community.

Every chance I get to Teacher Assist, I jump on it. I always learn something new by hearing the material in a new way, or through interactive experience. Students ask great questions, and their enthusiasm to fine-tune their skills is exciting and inviting. By the end of these courses, many restrictions are removed from the dural tube and the rest of the Craniosacral System which always causes a stir of exciting from the huge shifts in function and sensation. The participants light up and renew their enthusiasm for the work.

The Institute also seems to be revamping it curriculum in my opinion based on feedbacks from students. The techniques seem easier to comprehend, and I already know how beneficial this work is. Now it’s even easier to learn and put into action. Students are anxious to join new study groups and to work towards Certification to increase their skill and ability to help their clients.

My favorite thing about Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is that the touch is so light, yet it is able to help the whole body communicate more efficiently to improve functionality as a whole. CST balances the entire body and revitalizes, restores the resting ability of the parasympathetic system, and encourages flow along the spine and related fascial segments.

Craniosacral Therapy

One example is that although one would think that the Cranium is the main place of dysfunction for TMJ , indeed it can’t be corrected unless the sacrum and pelvis are balanced. One thing we talked about today was that if a person appears to have one leg longer than the other, the ilea is probably jetted forward which affects the pelvic area and can cause a twist over to the other parietal bone. The point being in layman terms- is that this can lead to rotations in the cranium which cause TMJ. In this instance, the fascial planes, spine, and cranium must all be treated to bring about effective positive change.

I’ll keep you updated on the rest of the class… Loving Craniosacral! Upledger

Warmly,
