Biodynamic Cranio-sacral Therapy
The demands of a modern world are often a challenge resulting in stress: which has a way of creeping in and cutting us off from the precious life forces that lie at the root of our foundation for health.
If we haven't been caring for our-self sufficiently our health foundation starts to crumble. When this happens, we can reach out to our doctors to "cure" us. However, nature has already provided us with our very own inner healing force - the cranio-sacral system. The role of a cranio-sacral practitioner is to help clients find a way to optimise their own healing force so they can build a solid, healthy foundation, or restore it if the crumbling has already begun.
Cranio-sacral therapy achieves not only relief from physical pain, but also restoration of clarity and emotional wholeness as well.
Cranio-sacral therapy is based on a particular understanding of human anatomy. Imagine your cranio-sacral system has a regular rhythm, much like the heart, only subtler and slower. Just as your heart pumps blood to the rest of the body, the cranio-sacral system pumps cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) between your brain and spinal area. The CSF plays many important roles in your immune system's performance, but a variety of health problems can create an imbalance in the flow of the CSF, limiting health and clarity. If CSF can flow unimpeded, then the body has the opportunity to maintain and/or restore balance. Remarkably, your entire motor function, learning patterns, and emotions are affected by the cranio-sacral system, as your whole body expands and contracts with the rhythm of the pumping fluids. This is where cranio-sacral therapy can improve the functioning of these essential self-healing systems.
Think of your cranio-sacral practitioner as your partner. You and your body do the work, but your practitioner lends his or her knowledge and skills to help you. Together you are able to bolster your body's own resistance and improve how your central nervous system responds to stress and illness. When soft touch is applied to this system, clients can achieve incredible releases from long-standing restrictions, stress, and tension.
