Warm thanks to Nicola Brough for shedding light on Measure Well and the WHHQ during her introductory talk last night. There were some interesting questions from an engaged audience, thank you!
This work helps practitioners understand who is accessing CST and why, enabling more tailored communication and better service delivery. By measuring outcomes, the CSTA is building a strong evidence base to demonstrate the value of CST for clients and the wider community. CSTA members can use the MW Hub and WHHQ for free as part of their membership fee (to be used to record outcomes with CST clients only).

On fascia - https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2025/nov/24/secrets-of-the-body-what-is-fascia-health-foam-roller

“It’s constantly talking to the brain about what the body feels,” says Kilian. “It’s not a thin layer – it’s a massive, functional sensory organ system that holds us together.”

Healthy fascia acts like a biological spring, recycling energy during movement and contributing to efficiency in running, jumping, and athletic power. This has led some movement coaches to suggest that you can harness its elasticity to be more explosive – “screwing” yourself into the ground to do more press-ups, say – but that’s not entirely true. “It’s not going to perform miracles for you or suddenly make you magically stronger,” says functional movement specialist and anatomist Julian Baker. “But if we keep it fluid and keep it moving, it will improve our quality of movement.”

The subtle power of fascia seems to finally be getting the media attention it deserves! Our skilled therapists will be able to feel and feedback on your body's 'holding patterns', helping you release aches and pains, even from injuries received decades earlier.

'Fascia, the connective tissue that holds together the body’s internal structure, really hasn’t spent all that long in the limelight. Anatomists have known about its existence since before the Hippocratic oath was a thing, but until the 1980s it was routinely tossed in the bin during human dissections, regarded as little more than the wrapping that gets in the way of studying everything else. - Physically, it’s made up of collagen, though 70% of it is actually water – and it hydrates through compressive movement, which pumps fluid through the fascial layers, keeping them supple and gliding smoothly. It also contains nerve endings that allow it to sense movement, pressure and temperature – and can influence posture, movement and proprioception. “It’s constantly talking to the brain about what the body feels,” says Kilian. “It’s not a thin layer – it’s a massive, functional sensory organ system that holds us together.”

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is often called a simple approach to profound healing. 👐 It gently supports the body in normalizing the craniosacral system, allowing natural self-correction and restoring balance across all systems.

🌿 Whether you’re a therapist looking to expand your skills or someone seeking a holistic path to wellness, CST offers a powerful way to reconnect the body and mind.

Bystander PTSD Alters Brain Differently Than Direct Trauma

Summary: New research reveals that witnessing trauma triggers unique brain changes, distinct from those caused by experiencing trauma firsthand. The study found that indirect trauma leads to different protein degradation patterns in key brain regions involved in fear memory.
