More words of wisdom from Dr. Gillespie.

People often ask me how the Gillespie Approach can be helpful for patients with hundreds of conditions. Due to its embryological origin, the fascial web is connected to and communicates with every cell in the body.

All of the body’s systems are a part of this web. The craniosacral system, relatively unknown in the medical model, is a critical element for nervous system function. This system feeds the life-giving cerebrospinal fluid to the fascial web.

Trauma to the head can restrict normal brain expansion and contraction. A diminished fluid flow to the web can result in many systemic issues, which appear to be specific for each individual. Common conditions are headache, lack of focus and concentration, and anxiety.

After a body trauma, the other systems may also need to compensate and adapt. Fascial strain at 2,000 pounds per square inch can have an adverse effect on the function of all the body systems.

A strain pattern can run through each cell of any organ, and no medical testing will show any pathology. Fascial strain in one area of the body can create a condition in another part. Strain patterns can run through the body connecting the eyes, teeth, and other sensitive structures. Everything is connected.

The body may be able to heal moderate traumas, but the more intense strains can last a lifetime. Strain can also be cumulative in life. As aging people lose body function, soft tissue tightness can be an unseen culprit.

The critical importance of the work at birth cannot be overstated. No one needs to suffer needlessly for a lifetime. A strain-free body at the beginning of life is the best gift of all.

Our Lancaster infant research from 2006-12 revealed many of nature's subtle secrets. Now in my 70s, I continue to experience joy in sharing what is possible for newborns. Practicality is not my strong point; I am a romantic, believing in my vision even if it seems unrealistic. I am just waiting for the world to see its promise.

Humble words from Dr. Gillespie, founder of CFT.

Rarely does a founder of a modality openly discuss its major flaws. I believe in transparency and hopefully some ideas will come forth from this essay to move the work forward.

We are totally dependent on listening to the body's fascial strains and allowing it to correct itself. But authentic healing can have its downside.

Our biggest problem can be when a sustained fetal compressive strain pattern will not clear, even after years of therapy. I am not sure why this happens and how the body can safely get to the other side.

Another problem is that we are dependent on the body to decide what strain patterns are to be revisited in the session. If a patient presents with a specific condition, that causative stain pattern(s) may be buried under 37 other strains. The patient can easily get discouraged after many visits and discontinue therapy.

A third issue is knowing the number of visits that will be needed. I have no idea how many layers of traumas are in anyone’s body. For infants I tell the parents that most babies fall in the 5-8 visit range. Children can run longer, and for adults, any number is possible.

Plus, how far down the rabbit hole do you want to go? Some patients stop when they start to feel better. Other patients want to go all the way to become strain free.

The fourth issue is that we have no basic research to back up our work. There are no double blind, randomized, and controlled gold standard studies to scientifically validate our work. All of my discoveries have been based on clinical observations with what worked and was consistently repeatable in larger numbers of patients.

The fifth “flaw" is that our philosophy is so different from mainstream medical care. We are trying to find the root cause of the problem and help the body heal itself. The allopathic medical model purely bandaids symptoms with drugs, surgery, and technology. We have an incompatable correction vs. management dilemma.
