voodoo


Skylar went to the cranio sacral therapy today or as Daddy calls it voodoo lady. This was her last session until she has a huge growth spurt. I love seeing the changes in her before and after her session. It truly makes me even more of a believer. What is cranio sacral therapy well here is the jist:

CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of a physiological body system called the CranioSacral system.

The CranioSacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which form the fluid-filled sac around the core of the nervous system - surrounding, nourishing, and protecting the brain and spinal cord.

Like the pulse of the cardiovascular system, the CranioSacral system has a rhythm that can be felt throughout the body.

Using a touch generally no heavier than the weight of a small coin, skilled practitioners can monitor this rhythm at key body areas to pinpoint the source of an obstruction or stress.
Once a source has been determined, they can assist the natural movement of the fluid and related soft tissue to help the body self-correct. This simple action is often all it takes to remove a restriction.
Other times, CST may be combined with other complementary therapies to help restore the body to it's optimum functioning level

New-borns, Infants & Children

Babies and children can also benefit from CranioSacral Therapy.
Because of it's gentleness, the first CranioSacral Therapy treatment could be done within minutes of birth.
By correcting problems in the CranioSacral system early on in life the development of things such as colic, respiratory problems, hyperactivity, dyslexia, seizure disorders, floppy baby syndrome, and possibly cerebral palsy, scoliosis, and orthodontic dental problems, may be avoided later in life.

It's far-reaching effects enable CranioSacral Therapy to be useful for a wide scope of health problems, including:
