Book An Initial Craniosacral Therapy Session with Sharon Hartnett CST-D
Looking for A Craniosacral Therapist in the Columbus, Ohio area?
No Need to Look Further-
LaI’d like to welcome you into the World of Craniosacral Therapy This Fall.
You know, lots of people have not heard about Craniosacral Therapy. Although, it’s been around for a long time in some form or another- based on an Osteopathic Approach to manual Therapy. So here we go to share the good news about CST!
The first osteopathic doctor was Andrew Taylor Still, who developed the osteopathic medical philosophy in 1874 and founded the first osteopathic medical school, the American School of Osteopathy (now A.T. Still University), in Kirksville, Missouri, in 1892. His approach was based on the idea that the body’s structure is central to its ability to heal, focusing on the musculoskeletal system and preventive care.
There have been many physicians since that time who have learned and evolved this business of an ostepathic approach to healing. The doctor who made a big impression on me as a Structural Integration Therapist years ago was Dr. John Upledger.
Dr. Upledger was recognized as an innovator and leading proponent in the investigation of new therapies. His development of CranioSacral Therapy in particular earned him an international reputation. Dr. Upledger produced a protocol with fresh techniques which could be taught to anyone working hands on with people hoping to feel better. The Upledger Institute was created in 1985 and thousand and thousands of therapist have been offering this work ever since.
Personally, I have enjoyed doing as a somatic therapist over the last 30 uears Craniosacral Therapy and SI and Brennan healing sciencce.
I have melded all of my training into a listening of each person who comes into the office. The primary intention is to discover what inside of you is ready to heal and how do I help to activate that with a gentle nudge and sacred holding. Most often this is done with Craniosacral Therapy as sthe primary modality.
What does a CST session look like?
CST is known for being very gentle and supporting the deeper intelligence of the body to self-correct, change and integrate. My clients often come in once a week for a month or two, then shift to every other week, then to a month, eventually to once in a while to maintain. It really depends on each individual and what is happening in their body.
What Kind of Symptoms Does CST help?
Craniosacral Therapy is not used to diagnosed or to fix. Instead it is a listening of the Craniosacral System and how it affects the Nervous System and other cells, tissues, and organs so that the therapist can help ease things into a healthier dynamic motion. People often feel much more relaxed, balanced and stronger after a session. Sometimes, issues like migraines, concussions, fibromyalgia,tinnitus, headaches, anxiety, PTSD, back and neck pain, and other ailments clear up. People with autism have experienced very positive results as well. Quite often in fact.
Craniosacral Therapy is not massage. You come in and stay fully clothed, and the therapist will examine your rhythm and perhaps, like me also check for visceral manipulation possibilities, lymhatic issues or some do add massage therapy.
What I recommend is that if you are seriously hoping to work with an experienced craniosacral therapist in the Columbus, Ohio area or anywhere else, check the Upledger site to see who is best certified and experienced. There is a wide difference in education and experience.
If you have any further question, I’d like to answer them. I offer a free 15 phone consultation at 614 653-8111.
I have a special promotion going on for the first session through the end of December, call and check it out!
Warmly,
Sharon Hartnett CST-D
