What is it?
What can it can do for you?
The Gentle Giant
Craniosacral Therapy is gaining recognition as the most
powerful gentle giant modality of holistic healing.
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive form of
touch that penetrates deeply into the body by way of
listening to the whispers of the craniosacral system's
rhythm to discover and balance restrictions that cause
pain and dysfunction throughout the body.

Movement Is Life
Think of the beating heart, the coursing of the blood
and lymph through their channels, creating wave like
movements. At the very core of the body lies the brain
and the spinal cord, housed within the protection of
your bones and bathed in the cerebrospinal fluid. As
the subtle movements of breath take place, the
cerebrospinal fluid travels along the core of the
body, drawn upwards during the in breath and flowing
downwards with the exhalation. (Remember the movie
"Waiting to Exhale"?) This subtle movement of fluid
within the core of the body is like the movement of
the oceans influencing and giving expression through
the tissues and organs, like the way the wind rustles
the leaves and branches of a tree. Ideally, we want
our bodies to be synchronized and a harmonious rhythm
within all parts. Have you ever been in a car when the
tires are out of alignment, making the whole car shake
and rattle and as soon as you get the tires balanced
the car goes back to running smooth again?
How Do We Get Out Of Balance?
Our bodies meet physical and emotional stress and
challenges by contracting. Think of accidentally
placing your hand on a hot burner. The first thing you
do is pull back and lock your breath. That contraction
disturbs the flow of fluids. Like the incoming tide
hitting a rocky shore; when it meets an obstacle, it
has to find a way around it. When the body is fully
functioning, the blockage is a temporary disruption
but if the stresses are too frequent or the shock too
great, the blockage becomes gradually more established
and can eventually lead to discomfort and pain. While
we are living our lives we may collect and disperse
many different blockages; sometimes we are able to use
our body's natural healing abilities and at other
times we need help. The healing touch of the
craniosacral therapist is able to detect the blockage
through the restricted flow of fluids and to reflect
this information back to the body, helping it to
gather the necessary resources to re-establish harmony
and balance. |

What To Expect In A Session
In a typical Craniosacral Therapy session, you will
usually lie down fully clothed on a treatment table.
The treatment consists of the therapist placing their
hands gently on your body and tuning into what is
happening by 'listening' with their hands. Identifying
and the areas of restriction or tension, and following
the subtle internal pulls and twists manifested, until
points of resistance are encountered and released,
enabling the tissues to return to proper healthy
function, balance and harmony. |

Clients
sometimes become aware of changes immediately and feel
heat and tingling accompanying their sense of deep
relaxation. This connection between client and
therapist is always one of high honor and respect of
this shared sacred space. As a nurse massage
therapist/bodyworker and DNA nutritional counselor, I am my client's partner in facilitating the healing process. I have witnessed the amazing capacity of the human spirit and our bodies to heal. Advanced Health, Inc offers a safe space in which to explore and experience physical, emotional and spiritual healing. Self-discovery is the key to a beautiful life.
Treatment at the earliest possible opportunity is
highly advisable. Not only will conditions respond
more readily the sooner they are treated, and less
readily the longer they have been there, but also the
cranium and the body structure are constantly growing,
fusing and consolidating into the patterns of growth
imprinted on them, and become increasingly solidified
and resistant to treatment with time.
