Therapeutic Benefits of CranioSacral Therapy
|
|
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing
the function of the craniosacral system — the physiological body system comprised
of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord.
CST enhances the body’s natural healing processes to improve the operation of the
central nervous system, dissipate the negative effects of stress, enhance health and strengthen
resistance to disease. The method generally requires only five grams of pressure — the
equivalent weight of a nickel — to test for restrictions in various parts of the
craniosacral system. Often the evaluation alone will help solve the presenting problem.
Among the medical conditions for which CranioSacral Therapy has shown to be effective are:
- Migraine Headaches
- Chronic Neck and Back Pain
- Motor-Coordination Impairments
- Central Nervous System Disorders
- Orthopedic Problems
- Chronic Fatigue
- Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
- Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
- Fibromyalgia and other Connective-
- Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
- Emotional Difficulties
- Stress and Tension-Related Problems
- Temporomandibular Joint Dysfunction (TMJ)
- Scoliosis
- Infantile Disorders
- Autism
- Learning Disabilities
- Post-Surgical Dysfunction Tissue Disorders

SomatoEmotional Release®
SomatoEmotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process that helps rid the body and mind of the residual
effects of past trauma and associated negative responses. Its origins date to the discovery in the late
1970s by John E. Upledger, DO, OMM, and biophysicist Zvi Karni, PhD, that the body often retains, rather
than dissipates, physical forces resulting from an accident, injury or emotional trauma. The trauma causes
the body to isolate the dysfunctional area, creating what Dr. Upledger has termed
an "Energy Cyst."
Although a reasonably healthy body can work and adapt to Energy Cysts, extra energy is required to perform
normal bodily functions. As years pass, the adaptive pattern of the body loses its effectiveness. Symptoms
and dysfunctions begin to appear that become increasingly difficult to ignore or suppress.
SER works to assist patients toward the physical identification and elimination of these Energy Cysts by
enabling them to re-experience and thereby resolve the unpleasant incidents.
