Craniosacral therapy uses light touch to listen deeply for the subtle rhythms or tides that move within the many layers of your system. It provides a space for anything that restricts their flow to be met and released. I experience it as listening for the stories that are waiting to be heard and allowing them to be expressed. Each treatment session is different. You may experience deep relaxation and a release of physical pain or tension. There may be emotional release or connection with memories held in your tissues. I am guided by your body and I trust that your system knows what to do. Sessions take place fully clothed and usually lying on your back, although this can be adapted if necessary.
People often find craniosacral therapy helpful for issues such as anxiety, stress, insomnia, digestive issues, chronic pain and illness. However, as the focus of this therapy is on accessing your body’s inherent health and wellbeing, it is safe and helpful for everyone.
Fascial Unwinding follows a similar process, with more of a focus on physical expression and following patterns of movement around blocks or restrictions in the body, with the support and holding of the therapist. These movements may be focused on specific limbs, muscles or organs, or may be a sense of the whole body unwinding stuck movement patterns, creating a powerful sense of release. Our fascia forms the continuous ‘matrix’ within which our bodily structures are contained. Release of restrictions or disturbances at this level can have significant physical and emotional implications.
Fascial unwinding often emerges as part of the craniosacral therapy treatment process but can also be worked with more intentionally during a session. It would always be combined with holding and grounding techniques used in craniosacral therapy.
