Postpartum and CST

The attention we receive during pregnancy is often withdrawn and transferred to the baby after the birth.

It is critically important to continue nurturing parents when most of their energy is spent nurturing a new baby. It is beneficial for the whole family when a newly postpartum parent receives focused attention just for them.

The postpartum period is vital for the mom to recover from these injuries and to recover her strength and vitality.

A postpartum CST treatment focuses on structural realignment of the spine and pelvis and helps the body to release the tension that has accumulated in the muscles along the spine, helping the mother to regain her ease of movement and strength.

Craniosacral therapy also helps to improve blood, lymph, and energy flow, thus supporting and helping to speed up the healing process.

Postpartum CST also addresses the new body discomforts associated with the carrying and care of a newborn infant.

A person who has experienced a complicated birth may feel traumatized. They may grieve the loss of the birth experience they had planned for themselves.
Postpartum CST helps the new parent process and integrate the birth experience in a way that is physically and emotionally healthy.

How Craniosacral Therapy Helps with Insomnia and Other Sleep Disorders

Craniosacral therapy has been shown to successfully treat a variety of issues, including sleep disturbance. The gentle approach of craniosacral therapy helps to calm the body and relax the patient. It allows them to enter into a deep, relaxed state which is very similar to meditation. This relaxed effect of a craniosacral therapy session can carry over into the night, inducing a sleep state.

Since it is so much like meditation, craniosacral therapy has been known to help with treating chronic insomnia. When we fall asleep, our brain waves slow down, and many physiological functions necessary for our lives take place.

Our heart rate and blood pressure also start to slow down, then regulate. Throughout the restorative stage of sleep, our breathing slows, blood pressure levels drop and blood flows to repair muscles and tissue.

Patients who have used CST as treatment for chronic insomnia report that they feel like they are sleeping while they are awake. Those who receive CST and also meditate have stated that they can go into a much deeper state when they practice meditation after their CST sessions.

Craniosacral therapy is known to alleviate various types of health conditions. It can have a positive effect on the body’s hormonal system and provides space within the cranial bones which support the pineal gland’s function.

The pineal gland is a small endocrine gland located in the brain. It produces and secretes the natural hormone melatonin. This hormone helps regulate our body’s biological rhythms, including our sleep and wake cycles.

Craniosacral therapy supports the body’s central nervous system, the function of which is critical for getting a good night’s sleep uninterrupted. It helps the autonomic nervous system down regulate from sympathetic to parasympathetic function and hence a relaxed state to facilitate sleeping.

CST effects the flow of cerebro-spinal fluid which is produced in the brain, it provides the energetic blueprint for the head and body. As a result of optimal fluid flow throughout our system we experience clear thinking, relaxation, and have more control over mood regulation. Regulating our body’s autonomic nervous system is essential for our overall health.

shares: “Francis Weller once said, “The heart needs grief and gratitude in constant conversation with one another, and since grief deepens the heart’s capacity to know what another person may be feeling, I’m holding onto both.”

Engaging in grief and suffering can also open the heart to joy and delight. If we refuse to walk the path of grief, we may be faced with small lives that are controlled by our emotions. In a happiness-obsessed, fear-based culture, good and bad emotions are viewed as binary to be navigated with precise caution. But the soft animal of the self often needs a safe container to surrender to a new life.

Have you ever tried “befriending” the full spectrum of your emotions?”

In Cranio-sacral Therapy, we gently contact the body’s intelligence, offering it the chance to release what it no longer needs—physically, emotionally, and energetically.

So if you’re feeling tightness, fatigue, or imbalance, it may not just be structural. Ask yourself:
What emotion might this area be holding onto?

I wonder if you know,
the work your body has done today.
And every day.
How much disease it has fought off.
How many times it could have failed but battled on,
how many ways it could have broken but did not.

I wonder if you know,
the work your body has done today.
And every day.
And each day it has done this amazing job,
without your help,
without your approval,
your acceptance,
your kindness.

Each day it has soldiered on,
regardless of the constant stream of negativity,
pulsing its way from your brain to your cells.
Not good enough.
Not attractive enough.
Not the right shape.

Perhaps it’s time to see your body for what is truly is,
An amazing and mind-blowingly competent machine.
To get your soul to where it needs to be in this life.
To let you live.

I wonder if you know,
how much better you would be as a team.
I wonder.
