CranioSacral
Therapy & SomotoEmotional Release
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was
pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician
John E. Upledger
following extensive scientific studies from 1975 to 1983 at Michigan
State University, where he served as a clinical researcher and
Professor of Biomechanics.
CST is a
gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the functioning of
a physiological body system called the craniosacral system - comprised
of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the
brain and spinal cord.
Using a
soft touch generally no greater than 5 grams, or about the weight of a
nickel, practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system
to improve the functioning of the central nervous system.
By
complementing the body's natural healing processes, CST is
increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to
bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of
medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
-
Migraine Headaches
-
Chronic Neck and Back Pain
-
Motor-Coordination Impairments
-
Colic
-
Autism
-
Central Nervous System Disorders
-
Orthopedic Problems
-
Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries
-
Scoliosis
-
Infantile Disorders
-
Learning Disabilities
-
Chronic Fatigue
-
Emotional Difficulties
-
Stress and Tension-Related Problems
-
Fibromyalgia and other Connective-Tissue Disorders
-
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
-
Neurovascular or Immune Disorders
-
Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder
-
Post-Surgical Dysfunction
SomotoEmotional Release
(SER) is a
therapeutic process that uses and expands on the principles of
CranioSacral Therapy to help rid the mind and body of the residual
effects of trauma. SERI offers applications designed to enhance
results using CST and other complementary therapies.
-
Assess and mobilize the Avenue of Expression working through more
than 10 different body components, including the thoracic inlet,
hard palate and hyoglossal tissues.
-
Locate and release Energy Cysts.
-
Release suppressed emotions that may be inhibiting complete
structural releases.
-
Refine listening and comprehension skills.
-
Improve palpation and whole-body evaluation skills.
