Concussion Relief

Today I am sharing about my own experience with a concussion.  About 10 years ago, I fell badly, and landed on the left side of my head and body. Immediately an ambulance was called, and I went to the “Emergency” room at the hospital.

They checked me out. Sent me home.  Problem was I was NOT ok.  The concussion symptoms creeped in later. For about a month, I laid in bed.  Not able to watch TV, read, go out into the light.  I felt light headed and my mind wasn’t clear.  The FOG.  For those of you who have experienced the same thing, you know what I mean.  There is nothing to do but just wait it out.

Eventually my health improved.  Enough so that I flew down to the Upledger Institute to receive treatment.  The Therapist was good, but honestly- I felt little difference.  When the brain gets jostled around it takes time to heal, and many Craniosacral Sessions to just find balance again.   Now, for each person this is a unique path.  We must each find the right dose of the best remedies for ourselves. So I don’t want to lie here and say there is a magic pill.  It’s a journey.  Craniosacral Therapy helped me tremendously over the years.

However, I did find top notch Craniosacral Therapists across the States, and I committed to my health and wellbeing.Finally,  the headaches slipped away, and slowly but surely I did get better.  Also,because I am an advanced Craniosacral Therapist, I practiced the technques on myself almost daily.  Admittedly this was a challenging trauma, and I have never come back to 100 percent.  However, I do feel much better.  My life goes on and nobody would even realized that I am still on the mend all these years later. But hey, life is good and I bow down deep in gratitude to Dr. John Upledger’s Work.

Now,  I suppose because I have gone through so much with my concussion and brain injury, I have become specialized in helping and supporting those with similar issues.  Sometimes our greatest wounds or hurts make us super detailed and well tuned in to the gift of helping others to heal similar patterns.

So many people have not heard about Craniosacral Therapy, but it is what has helped me the most.  That and fish oils and other supplement.  My re-dedication to the Upledger work was based on the relief I found from the original concussion sypmtoms.  I have been a Craniosacral Therapist since 2003, but now this work is my life passion.

If you are suffering from a concussion or a traumatic brain injury, check out the Upledger site.  Find someone near you to join you on the path to recovery.   When a Craniosacral Therapist works with you, they are listening to your Inner Physician (IP).  The IP takes the new information in and allows the deeper intelligence to heal you.  The therapist is the reminder that possibilities do exist to bring you back to Wholeness.

Warmly,
