Refocus Therapies Complimentary Therapy What is Cra-ni-o-sa-cral Ther-a-py

Craniosacral Therapy (CST) works on the deepest of all fascia (connective tissues beneath the skin).

The word cranial may suggest that it is only the head that is being treated, when in fact it works with the whole person and changes may occur in body, mind and spirit during and after the session. The principle of CST is that the cranial bones (the skull), the vertebrae (the spine) and the sacrum are all linked by an intrinsic rhythm with the ligaments, muscles and fascia that surrounds them. When this rhythm is in harmony, cerebrospinal fluid
(a fluid found in the brain and spinal cord) moves and circulates without restriction, the intervertebral and facet joints of the spine are well hydrated and the skull is in symmetry, this aids with good health of the spine and other systems throughout the body. This rhythm is known as “the breath of life”

When the ligaments, muscles and fascia of the body become imbalanced, injured or under tension, they can easily pull the cranial bones, the intervertebral and facet joints out of their natural alignment. The cranial bones can be pulled into imbalance due to the skull being slightly flexible with the tiny movement of the cranial plates in the skull. When a therapist puts their hands on you, they are using them to listen to your body in a similar way a counsellor listens to your words when you speak. Who is CST for ? People may come for Craniosacral Therapy because they have acute physical problems like headaches or bad backs or long-standing problems, both physical and emotional. Others come for on-going support with their busy lives and for help to meet life’s challenges. Because it is so gentle and non-invasive, you are fully clothed when treated , this makes Craniosacral Therapy suitable for everyone from newborns to the elderly. Mothers and babies often come for problems associated with difficult or traumatic births. Letting go of tension and fear held within the body enables both to settle into calmness. Craniosacral Therapy has been known to help:

Tinnitus
Sinusitis
Stress and anxiety
Migraine Headaches
Chronic pain
Fibromyalgia
Recovering from Covid
TMJ issues
Relieving tension
Children with an ASD

All initial Sessions will be 15 minutes longer in order to take a full case history.

Stress is unavoidable in today's busy world and our bodies are designed to manage a certain amount of this stimulation. sometimes though, we can become overwhelmed and unable to cope with life's demands.
Extended periods of stress can start to produce symptoms which have an impact on our day to day life and ultimately may lead to serious illness.
CST is a natural way of helping our bodies to reset and recover.
CST is unique in its ability to treat the source of symptoms on every level, whether mental, physical or emotional.
For best results a series of treatments is always recommended.

Have you been told you won't be able to get rid of your Tinnitus?

CST may not be able to get rid of Tinnitus completely but it can certainly help to reduce it so it's not shouting at you all day and night.

Tinnitus is a central nervous system reaction to having too much undigested life experience going on behind the scenes.
It is commonly accepted that tinnitus appears when someone’s nervous system becomes stuck between “fight or flight” mode and the freezing response.
CST is particularly good for tinnitus as it works very specifically on the parts of the central nervous system that switches off the stress response. It helps people come out of the freezing response, pass through fight or flight, back towards the ideal and calm state of homeostasis.
The first sign of relief comes as you stop being bugged by symptoms so much. This often happens fairly quickly, after four to six sessions or so. The tinnitus is there but it is not nearly such a big deal.
It teaches your body how to deal with tinnitus and how you can listen to your body.

Go for a walk, read a book, play a game, watch tv.

Take a long deep breath in through your nose in hold it and release it in a long slow breath out through your mouth….

Craniosacral Therapy and Autistic Spectrum Disorders....

CST can help the brain and body decrease levels of abnormal inflammation, sensation, tension, toxicity and chaos. This can lead to great er ease and efficiency of the nervous system processing, which can help reduce ASD symptoms.
I have a home based therapy room and I am DBS checked. I have worked with a lot of children with disabilities and with ASD diagnoses.
Contact me to have a chat about how this can help you or your child and make your first appointment.

Have a look at this article about a Craniosacral therapist Mikki Ettore who I have completed specialist training with and how CST helped her autistic son.
