Hello my name is Joel Ashworth and I am a Craniosacral therapist. I have joined the team at Docere Wellness Clinic this summer and let me tell you how excited I am to be a part of this group of health professionals.
So many people want to know what craniosacral therapy is and what does it treat.
Craniosacral Therapy Calgary
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle manual therapy which helps the body unwind patterns that are held within the physiology. The experience of unwinding these patterns can be profound – on many levels (physical, emotional and spiritual). Typical sessions last one hour while the client is fully clothed and relaxes on a massage table. A common course of treatment involves four to six sessions over a month or six weeks.
One common form of Craniosacral treatment is helping with problems that are mediated by the central nervous system. Treatments centered on this will allow, the ‘rest, digest and heal’ mode of the nervous system (parasympathetic nervous system), the body to naturally begin the healing process and promote greater health.
Craniosacral therapy is also a powerful treatment for those who have suffered prolonged stress, trauma or injury. Each of these can alter local patterns of natural functioning as the body makes an attempt to adapt to an injury, trauma or stress. Unfortunately the body can sometimes have trouble returning to the natural balanced healthy state. The resolution of these patterns can then in turn restore circulation, lymph and nerve flow which allows the body to begin healing and restoration of natural function.
Did you know that Craniosacral’s greatest claim to fame may be it’s ability to treat babies ? Some of it’s most celebrated successes have been with problems that most modalities struggle to treat in babies. For instance, babies who have difficulty with latching for the purpose of breast feeding are commonly and quite successfully treated with Craniosacral. Some other problems that parents face such as Colic and Birth Trauma are also responsive to treatment.
