Pain and stress caused by
shortened Fascia
Fascia (strong connective tissue) encases
all our muscles, organs, brain and spinal
cord. Whenever fascia shortens any place
in the body, the entire network of fascia
creates an increased tension affecting the
functioning of our physical body as well as
our organs, our brain and spinal cord.
Our body is the history of every major
trauma we have experienced physically
and emotionally beginning with birth
issues, falls, head trauma, car accidents,
childhood abuse issues, death, divorce
and other emotional issues. Our body tries
to minimize each trauma by shortening
fascia to isolate the energy coming into the
body from that trauma. Shortened fascia
results in pain, loss of mobility and range
of motion, organs becoming less efficient
and with parts of the brain and spinal cord
becoming stressed.
To keep the brain functioning, the body
transfers some of your functional work play
energy (7:00 AM-10:00 PM) to the brain
resulting in less energy to make it through
each day. As we age, the accumulation of
all the tightened fascia, from every major
trauma in life, begins to restrict every
aspect of our body’s functions resulting
in pain, loss of mobility, mis-functioning
organs, loss of energy, as well as our brain
losing some its sharpness.
How Craniosacral
Therapy Works
The Craniosacral Therapist creates a safe
place, with gentle holding techniques, that
engages your body’s ability to self correct,
reorganize and heal itself with the release
of some of that tightened fascia during
each session. As the Craniosacral Therapist
engages your body, you will feel fascia releasing.
As the fascia releases, pain begins to
decrease, range of motion and mobility improve,
organs begin functioning better and
with less stress on the brain feels, it returns
the energy it borrowed at the time of each
trauma resulting in an immediate increase in
your energy levels. Rarely does anyone leave
from my first session not feeling better.
Short Leg Syndrome
Eighty-five percent of my clients have one
of their legs pulled up 1/2 to 1 by shortened
fascia. The tension from short leg syndrome
on the sacrum (5 fused vertebrae
at bottom of the spine) is transferred up
Testimonials from Clients
■ “On a recent vacation to Siesta Key, I
re-injured my back. I found Terry online. I
can say with complete joy that was the best
decision I made in the history of my back
pain. I have sought many modalities and
visit a CST regularly and never have I had
such a healing in my entire body.
After 3 sessions, I made a 16-hour drive
home with no pain or discomfort in my
entire body. Unbelievable. My body has
a sense of moving freely and that is completely
new. I’m so grateful to Terry for his
knowledge, for his sensitivity to my needs
and his kind generosity in healing my body.
I will see him when I return next year.”
—Caroline M.
■ “I am a snowbird who spends 7 months
in Sarasota. I have had back problems for
25 years. Terry’s techniques have led to a
great deal of release and relief in areas that
have been problematic. I have been seeing
him over the years when my body says ”it’s
time”. Usually after a few sessions, I can tell
a huge difference.” —Lana S.

to take an interest in my challenges. I have
a mild Chiari malformation (part of the
brain protrudes and puts pressure on the
spinal cord) I had been experiencing vertigo,
extreme pain in my neck combined
with a limited range of motion (I could not
turn my neck right or left) I tried both traditional
and holistic modalities including
chiropractic and acupuncture with limited
success. So I did not have lofty expectations
(unrealistic) going into my first session, but
was pleasantly surprised in the immediate
difference I experienced in my entire body.
There was less pain in my back and
shoulders, but also in my diaphragm and
rib cage area. I was able to breathe more
deeply, felt more limber and overall more
relaxed. With additional sessions, Terry
was able to relieve the burning sensation
in my shoulders that would radiate into
my lower neck and down my arms which
had been plaguing me for a long time and
causing numbness in my extremities. I have
been impressed by his intuitive nature and
his ability to listen to my body and focus in
on specific issues and pain points. The therapist
who referred me to him was right…he
is a gifted healer.” —Nicole M.

● All clients will be questioned about self isolation and having
followed safety precautions such wearing a face mask in public
as well as being free of any symptoms.
The physical stress in bodies caused by
shortened fascia (connective tissue) shuts
down energy flows to certain organs. Short
leg syndrome by ½ to 1 in (where one leg is
pulled up by shortened fascia) shuts down
energy flow to the spleen (an important part of
your immune system) and the small and large
intestine. With the release of that shortened
fascia, energy returns to these organs.
the dural tube that encases the spinal cord
into the lower and upper back, the neck,
the cranium and the brain. Headaches, migraines,
TMJ and neck problems can originate
from the fascial stress in the sacrum.
Releasing this sacral stress increases
energy in the bladder, sex organs, kidneys
and the chakras as well as releasing major
stress in the upper part of the body.
Cause of Shallow Breathing
A great majority of the clients who come to
me for various problems are also shallow
breathers. Fascial stress in the diaphragm restricts
the depth of breathing by restricting
energy flow to the lungs, the pericardium

Institute. Described by his teachers, clients and colleagues
as a “gifted healer”, Terry’s intuitive sense and healing energy
provides immediate and lasting relief from injury, pain, mobility
issues as well as dysfunctions of the body and the brain. Part

brain and peripheral nervous system classes which
enables him to work at
a cellular level and with

and the heart. With the release of fascial
diaphragm restriction, the client immediately
starts breathing deeply and energy is
restored to the pericardium and the heart.
Shoulder blades that are cemented to
the body also restricts how much the rib
cage can open and thereby also restricting
depth of breath. Without proper breathing,
your cells do not get enough oxygen.
Everyone, especially people suffering from
bronchitis, asthma and COPD as well as
shallow breathing can benefit when the
fascial stress is released.
Specialized Training
to work with Brain
Dysfunctions
Just as the body physically gets stressed
from physical and emotional trauma, the
functioning of the brain is also affected
by fascial stress. For our brains to remain
healthy, we need dynamic production
of craniosacral fluid which performs the
important function of bringing nourishment
to all the cells in the brain and spinal
cord as well as cleansing all the metabolic
wastes given off by those same cells.
Once the craniosacral fluid cleanses these
metabolic wastes, efficient drainage of these
metabolic wastes into the lymph system is
absolutely necessary. Research has shown,
that at night, craniosacral fluid cleanses amyloid
plaques from the brain. If the drainage
is inefficient, then the brain is being bathed
in a toxic slurry. How does 15 or 20 years
of your brain being bathed in a toxic slurry
affect you: senile dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s
and other brain dysfunctions?
A Craniosacral Therapist, who has
received training in working with the
brain, can reverse that stress on the brain
that eventually can result in those brain
dysfunctions. As we all know, the proper
functioning of the body is dependent on a
healthy functioning brain.
