Why Choose Cranio Sacral Therapy?
Why Choose Cranio Sacral Therapy?
Sometimes you don’t have a choice about what happens in life and you find yourself reacting to an unexpected and unwelcome change. An illness or injury to yourself or a family member, a job loss, or relationship problems etc. Facing an unpredicted crisis can overwhelm familiar coping skills with intense emotions such as anxiety, doubt, anger or despair.
Cranio Sacral Therapy can add support to your problem solving skills, and teach you effective strategies for self care, and guide you through difficult times.
Other times, you may be feeling that you need self exploration as you move through a transition in your life. Sometimes you just need someone to help you explore patterns in your relationships, find courage to challenge your fears, build confidence, manage grief or loss and spiritual conflicts, body image issues, or other blockages that may be keeping you stuck?
Even those of us who are busy, being pulled in many directions by others, frantic with grief, distracted by pain from the past, worried about the future, overwhelmed by managing the demands of real life every day, You can learn to pay more attention to yourself and relax the terrible stress on your body. Take a deep breath, quiet your mind and calm your thoughts. Relax your body and pay
attention to your feelings and energize your self. Cranio Sacral Therapy, meditation, and self care skills can decrease anxiety symptoms, enhance pain management, and support peaceful calm so you can maintain your health and wellness even during stressful times.
I assist my clients in finding where and when their pain occurs and how it began. I can assist in calming irritated nerves, and ease tense muscles. Muscular and postural imbalances can cause pain by compressing the joints. Restoring free movement leads to a great reduction of inflammation and associated pain.
Part of my job is to see where in your body is not stacking up efficiently. Many of us have been taught to feel strain as a way of knowing that we are doing something useful. Strain usually means we are overdoing something and we need help to learn to do it more easily. Much of what we call normal aging is restricted movement, and much of it is reversible. There is no need for older persons to lose so much of their free movement.
Increasing Performance and adding capability is most often a matter of identifying unused resources and then combining that with cleaning up old injuries and replacing old habits with more efficient ones. I have worked with professional level athletes, dancers, performers, and singers, along with everyday ordinary people who were interested in exploring their physical function and expression.
I assist in helping to re-train your musculature via your brain, which is the controlling organ. Often old injuries are not completely resolved, and these can drain energy. I can help you quickly get rid of nagging problems and establish new positive habits. This leads directly to great improvements.
Foot, knee and hip problems are all related. Most knee problems are actually caused by restrictions far away from the place of pain. I focus on the cause so you can move past the symptom. I had knee pain for years until I realized that my feet weren’t getting the proper support. If I keep my feet supported, I rarely have knee pain. 
There are at least three ways to treat balance challenges. We can work structurally to align the body so that balance is easier, and to improve the function of the feet so that standing is safer. We can treat the cranial system, which can directly improve inner ear balance.
If I feel I can’t help you, I might be able to send you to another excellent practitioner for what you may need. As wonderful as Cranio Sacral Therapy is, it isn’t a cure all. Sometimes other modalities work better and I have referred many of my clients to other people.
