Cranial Sacral Balancing

Sharing this for those of you curious about receiving cranial sacral therapy.  It can be a profound step in bringing your body back into balance.

Cranial sacral, or craniosacral, therapy assists in alleviating the following conditions, and more:

  • Stress, anxiety, and mood instability
  • TMJ (temporomandibular joint) dysfunction experienced as tightness, pain, clicking in the jaw, and misaligned bite (caused by grinding teeth, clenching jaw, stress, or invasive dental work and orthodontics)
  • Headaches and migraines, including sinus headaches
  • Upper cervicle tightness and pain
  • Head tilt
  • Eye strain
  • Tinnitus – ringing in the ear
  • Vertigo
  • Dyslexia
  • Sleep difficulties and fatigue
  • Physical trauma particularly to head or sacrum (sports injuries, falls, broken bones, whiplash etc)
  • Emotional trauma

TMJ pain can be caused by tight jaw muscles, leading to a misaligned joint

 

My clientele have sought out this work to aid in reducing stress, addressing neck pain, jaw/TMJ dysfunction and pain, and assisting in rebalancing the emotional and physical body.  People’s experiences of receiving this therapy vary from entering a state of deep relaxation to feeling space opening up along the diaphragm, back of the skull, or even out the big toe. After a session, clients have reported feeling: “more space inside my head and mouth,” “waves of openness,”  “less sinus pressure,” and letting go of unnecessary holding.
