Who can cranio-Sacral therapy help?

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 rest and recover.

 CST is unique in its ability to treat the source of symptoms on every level, whether mental, physical or emotional.

For the best results a series of treatments is recommended.

CST can help the brain and body decrease levels of abnormal inflammation, sensation, tension, toxicity and chaos. This can lead to greater ease and efficiency of nervous system processing, which often manifests as a reduction of ASD symptoms.

CST can also improve health and socialisation of kids with Autism by helping them find greater ease, both within themselves and in the world around them, and by decreasing structural stress and strain on their central and peripheral nervous systems.

For people with FND who have many different symptoms it can be confusing figuring out why they acquire so many different diagnoses from different doctors.

Its common  to meet someone who has FND (which explains some symptoms), but who also has other diagnoses like Fibromyalgia (chronic widespread pain) and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.

Symptoms like pain, fatigue and bowel problems, that occur in other functional disorders are not strictly FND. Although they are common in people with FND doctors may use different labels for them. 

Here are some common Functional Disorders:

• Fibromyalgia (Chronic Widespread Pain)
• Irritable Bowel Syndrome
• Chronic Pelvic Pain
• Dysfunctional Breathing
• Functional Dyspepsia
• M.E/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
• Overactive Bladder Syndrome

What these disorders all have in common is a disorder of nervous system functioning which cannot be controlled by the person who has it.

Many people withese conditions recognise that these different functional disorders link together, when one is bad the other ones can become worse too.

this is an article from a clinic in New York who specialises in using Craniosacal Therapy with people who have been diagnosed with FND.  https://www.craniosacraltherapyny.com/neurological-disorders-treated-with-craniosacral-therapy-in-new-york-city/

Menopause is a natural change in the life of every woman. The adjustment of the changing hormones is not only strenuous, but is often also accompanied by uncomfortable side effects. Hot flashes, sleep disorders, mood swings and other symptoms can be lessened or eliminated by

 Cranio-Sacral Therapy, because tension, that influences the interaction of the individual hormonal glands, can be reduced.

Simply because one woman or several women in a family suffered under menopausal symptoms does not mean that you have to and must continue to do so. CST helps to adjust imbalances in the hormonal system and through this to lessen connected discomforts.  

From personal experience I can definitely say that having a

 CST session improves my all over well-being.

CST works to enhance the circulation of fluid surrounding the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). It effectively alleviates multiple perimenopause symptoms  because this system basically regulates all our bodily functions.

Why is Cranio-Sacral therapy beneficial in perimenopause?

Peri-menopause and post-menopause affect our memory, concentration, and overall brain health, while at the same time making us more prone to inflammation. This is because the oestrogen that regulates inflammation and neural activity in our brain and body fluctuates dramatically starting in our forties. Sometimes, estrogen starts fluctuating even in our late 30s, and this continues for many decades.

Cranio-Sacral therapy effectively  improves brain health by treating the connective tissue surrounding the brain and spinal cord. It improves neurological patterns, and the brain’s cellular environment which is essential for optimal cognitive functioning.

CST also reduces inflammation by correcting the ANS (autonomic nervous system) imbalances and improving lymphatic drainage, due to enhanced circulation of spinal fluid. The ANS regulates organs, nerves, and blood vessels, which are all surrounded by fascia. As far as CST aims to identify and correct altered fascia surrounding the brain and spinal cord (CNS), it ultimately also is hugely positive for the ANS.

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.

Some women sail through pregnancy, others find it a bit of a struggle.CST can help you in many ways, It can help to relieve minor ailments, settle nervous and hormonal systems, support your body as it changes and provide a space to start to connect with your baby in a quiet reflective way.

CST is a gentle choice for pregnant women and can help with back pain, morning sickness, preparing for birth and general relaxation.

Parents commonly bring their baby for CST in the first weeks following birth.  the baby's mother and or father will usually be invited to be part of the session and as the baby responds to treatment, this shared experience can deepen the bonds within the new family.

CST is beneficial even, if the pregnancy and birth wear trouble free.

it can also offer support for:

*establishing and supporting breastfeeding

*developing good sleep patterns

*early infant feeding problems including colic, reflux and allergies

*torticollis
