Discovering CranioSacral Therapy: Unlocking Your Body's Healing Potential – Part 2

There’s more than one way to balance our body’s systems.
 
What fascinates me the most is that I can effectively facilitate the body’s healing with as little as five grams of pressure – the weight of a nickel!
 
In my practice, I have found that CST has profound effects on people of all ages. I’ve used this technique on newborns to guide their transition from an intrauterine environment to that of the outside world. I’ve also been honored to be present during patients' transition into their end-of-life journey.
 
Other patients come for help with migraines, post-surgery issues, low back pain, vertigo and dizziness, respiratory issues such as emphysema or COPD, digestive problems, edema, pregnancy difficulties, and other symptoms.
 
Many CranioSacral therapists share my belief that the body seeks homeostasis. It seeks balance at all times, through all its systems, and in any given circumstance. Symptoms are a result of an imbalance. My job as a therapist is to listen and follow the body’s signals, creating an atmosphere for the body to achieve balance in whatever way it chooses.
 
A body’s systems rarely become seriously out of balance due to one event. While an accident, other trauma, or exposure to a bacteria or virus might trigger symptoms, the underlying cause is generally a combination of several issues and events. So it makes perfect sense that more than one form of “balancing” might be what’s needed.
 
I tell my patients that if they don’t notice any difference in their bodies after three treatments with me, we should consider another form of treatment separately or in conjunction with CST. I often recommend to my counseling patients that we consider CST in conjunction with their mental health appointments. Sometimes issues come out during craniosacral therapy that prompt a patient to ask about adding some counseling sessions.
