Craniosacral Therapy Can Be Life Changing<br />
CST treats the whole body physically, physiologically, mentally, emotionally and energetically<br />
Clients come to me because they are in physical<br />
pain such as neck, back, pain and TMJ as well as<br />
for chronic headaches and migraines.<br />
Pain and stress caused by<br />
shortened Fascia<br />
Fascia (strong connective tissue) encases all<br />
our muscles, organs, brain and spinal cord.<br />
Whenever fascia shortens any place in the<br />
body, the entire network of fascia creates an<br />
increased tension affecting the functioning<br />
of our physical body as well as our organs,<br />
our brain and spinal cord.<br />
Our body is the history of every major<br />
trauma we have experienced physically and<br />
emotionally beginning with birth issues, falls,<br />
head trauma, car accidents, childhood abuse<br />
issues, death, divorce and other emotional<br />
issues. Our body tries to minimize each trauma<br />
by shortening fascia to isolate the energy<br />
coming into the body from that trauma.<br />
Shortened fascia results in pain, loss of mobility<br />
and range of motion, organs becoming<br />
less efficient and with parts of the brain and<br />
spinal cord becoming stressed.<br />
To keep the brain functioning, the body<br />
transfers some of your functional work play<br />
energy (7:00 AM-10:00 PM) to the brain resulting<br />
in less energy to make it through each<br />
day. As we age, the accumulation of all the<br />
tightened fascia, from every major trauma<br />
in life, begins to restrict every aspect of our<br />
body’s functions resulting in pain, loss of mobility,<br />
mis-functioning organs, loss of energy,<br />
as well as our brain losing some its sharpness.<br />
How Craniosacral<br />
Therapy Works<br />
The Craniosacral Therapist creates a safe<br />
place, with gentle holding techniques, that<br />
engages your body’s ability to self correct,<br />
reorganize and heal itself with the release<br />
of some of that tightened fascia during<br />
each session. As the Craniosacral Therapist<br />
engages your body, you will feel fascia releasing.<br />
As the fascia releases, pain begins to<br />
decrease, range of motion and mobility improve,<br />
organs begin functioning better and<br />
with less stress on the brain feels, it returns<br />
the energy it borrowed at the time of each<br />
trauma resulting in an immediate increase in<br />
your energy levels. Rarely does anyone leave<br />
from my first session not feeling better.<br />
Short Leg Syndrome<br />
Eighty-five percent of my clients have one<br />
of their legs pulled up 1/2 to 1 by shortened<br />
fascia. The tension from short leg syndrome<br />
on the sacrum (5 fused vertebrae at bottom<br />
of the spine) is transferred up the dural tube<br />
that encases the spinal cord into the lower<br />
and upper back, the neck, the cranium and<br />
The physical stress in bodies caused by shortened<br />
fascia (connective tissue) shuts down<br />
energy flows to certain organs. Short leg syndrome<br />
by ½ to 1 in (where one leg is pulled up<br />
by shortened fascia) shuts down energy flow to<br />
the spleen (an important part of your immune<br />
system) and the small and large intestine. With<br />
the release of that shortened fascia, energy returns<br />
to these organs.<br />
the brain. Headaches, migraines, TMJ and<br />
neck problems can originate from the fascial<br />
stress in the sacrum.<br />
Releasing this sacral stress increases energy<br />
in the bladder, sex organs, kidneys and<br />
the chakras as well as releasing major stress<br />
in the upper part of the body.<br />
Cause of Shallow Breathing<br />
A great majority of the clients who come to<br />
me for various problems are also shallow<br />
breathers. Fascial stress in the diaphragm<br />
restricts the depth of breathing by restricting<br />
energy flow to the lungs, the pericardium<br />
and the heart. With the release of fascial diaphragm<br />
restriction, the client immediately<br />
starts breathing deeply and energy is restored<br />
to the pericardium and the heart.<br />
Shoulder blades that are cemented to the<br />
body also restricts how much the rib cage can<br />
open and thereby also restricting depth of<br />
breath. Without proper breathing, your cells<br />
do not get enough oxygen. Everyone, especially<br />
people suffering from bronchitis, asthma<br />
and COPD as well as shallow breathing can<br />
benefit when the fascial stress is released.<br />
Specialized Training<br />
to work with Brain<br />
Dysfunctions<br />
Just as the body physically gets stressed from<br />
physical and emotional trauma, the functioning<br />
of the brain is also affected by fascial stress. For<br />
our brains to remain healthy, we need dynamic<br />
production of craniosacral fluid which performs<br />
the important function of bringing nourishment<br />
to all the cells in the brain and spinal<br />
cord as well as cleansing all the metabolic<br />
wastes given off by those same cells.<br />
Once the craniosacral fluid cleanses these<br />
metabolic wastes, efficient drainage of these<br />
metabolic wastes into the lymph system is<br />
absolutely necessary. Research has shown,<br />
that at night, craniosacral fluid cleanses amyloid<br />
plaques from the brain. If the drainage<br />
is inefficient, then the brain is being bathed<br />
in a toxic slurry. How does 15 or 20 years of<br />
your brain being bathed in a toxic slurry<br />
affect you: senile dementia, Parkinson’s,<br />
Alzheimer’s and other brain dysfunctions?<br />
A Craniosacral Therapist, who has received<br />
training in working with the brain, can reverse<br />
that stress on the brain that eventually can<br />
result in those brain dysfunctions. As we all<br />
know, the proper functioning of the body is<br />
dependent on a healthy functioning brain.<br />

■ Our little boy Leo, four years of age, had a<br />
difficult birth and at 7 months was put on antibiotics<br />
for an ear infection and as a result developed<br />
c-diff. His development came to a stop.<br />
At 3 years, with the help of an OT, he started<br />
to walk and talk. In spite of the improvements,<br />
he was unable to answer questions and his<br />
communication skills were very poor. Leo<br />
had very poor muscle tone, a lot of stress in<br />
his body and physical activities such walking,<br />
jumping and climbing were difficult for him.<br />
Beginning with the first session with Terry,<br />
he began showing improvement and with each<br />
following session. Everyone from his teachers<br />
to his grandparents noticed an increase in his<br />
■ “I was in awful pain and the<br />
MRI showed 2 pinched nerves<br />
and stenosis. I scheduled surgery.<br />
My daughter suggested Craniosacral therapy.<br />
After only 2 visits the pain was reduced to<br />
advanced craniosacral about 80% and therapy I canceled the surgery. I went<br />
for a 3rd visit and I am about 90% better.”<br />
■ “Simply Amazing! One visit was all it took for<br />
Terry to relieve 85% of my year long, nagging<br />
(sometimes severe) neck/shoulder tightness/<br />
pain!! My breathing improved tremendously.”<br />
physical strength, as well as improvements in<br />
comprehension, speech and communication<br />
skills. For the first time, he started participating<br />
in class lessons and interacting with his<br />
classmates. Terry has made a huge impact on<br />
getting Leo to a place a little boy should be at<br />
age four. We cannot thank Terry enough.<br />
■ Terry’s treatment helped our 6 week old<br />
baby boy from recent hospitalization into<br />
the first series of healthy bowel movements<br />
when seemingly nothing could help. Our son<br />
was able to latch onto the breast and for the<br />
first time completed his feeding. He was much<br />
calmer after working with Terry.<br />
■ “He was able to relieve tension that I have<br />
been carrying around for 15 years or more.<br />
I left his office table with more energy than I<br />
have had in years.”<br />
■ “I began working with him because I was<br />
dealing with anxieties, depression and lots of<br />
emotional pain inside and out. You don’t realized<br />
how much stress can cause damage to<br />
your body, mind and soul. I can say Terry was<br />
a big help.”<br />

■ “On a recent vacation to Siesta Key, I re-injured<br />
my back. I found Terry online. I can say<br />
with complete joy that was the best decision<br />
I made in the history of my back pain. I have<br />
sought many modalities and visit a CST regularly<br />
and never have I had such a healing in<br />
my entire body.<br />
After 3 sessions, I made a 16-hour drive<br />
home with no pain or discomfort in my entire<br />
body. Unbelievable. My body has a sense of<br />
moving freely and that is completely new. I’m<br />
advanced craniosacral therapy<br />
so grateful to Terry for his knowledge, for his<br />
sensitivity to my needs and his kind generosity<br />
in healing my body. I will see him when I return<br />
next year.”<br />
■ “I am a snowbird who spends 7 months<br />
in Sarasota. I have had back problems for 25<br />
years. Terry’s techniques have led to a great<br />
deal of release and relief in areas that have<br />
been problematic. I have been seeing him over<br />
the years when my body says ”it’s time”. Usually<br />
after a few sessions, I can tell a huge difference.”<br />
