This article is about the changes that take place when a woman becomes pregnant and becomes a Mother. A lot of things change, of course, but for new mothers, some of the starkest differences are also the most intimate ones- the emotional changes. Which, it turns out, are also largely neurological. Even before a woman gives birth, the pregnancy tinkers with the very structure of her brain. The maternal feelings of overwhelming love, fierce protectiveness, and constant worry begin with reactions in the brain. So many new mothers experience serious anxiety and depression. Becoming a parent looks- at least in the brain- a lot like falling in love.     

This article talks about Neural Manipulation and how the acquisition of this new and precise assessment and treatment techniques will enhance the overall well-being of the clients. 

The word “Yoga” is rooted in the Sanskrit “yuj,” meaning “to join” or “to unite”. Essentially, yoga has come to describe a means of joining the mind and body.

This invited commentary references a preliminary study in which the integrative medicine technique known as CranioSacral Therapy (CST) was tested on a group of ex-National Football League (NFL) players who showed significant improvement in range of motion, pain, sleep, and cognitive function. The need for more clinical research data to better understand the potential effectiveness of CST in post-concussive syndrome, mild and more severe traumatic brain injury, and even perhaps chronic traumatic encephalopathy (CTE) is emphasized in the article published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine (JACM).

In a  CranioSacral Therapy session, listening may be the most important tool for both the client  and the therapist.  The conversation begins with spoken words between therapist and client, but then the experienced hands of the CranioSacral Therapist “listen” through layers of tissue and tension.  That’s when the story unfolds.

To fully understand why communication is essential in CranioSacral Therapy, Lori looks at the craniosacral system in the body and its impact on the body. She also talks about the birth of CST, Upledger CST and what it is.

Patients who sustained a concussion were recruited from an outpatient clinic by a neuropsychologist specializing in concussions. All were said to have Cranial dysfunction in their concussions. They self-reported adverse events during or after 1 session. Osteopathic cranial manipulative medicine was considered safe treatment option.

This is an article written by Daniela in Romanian translated to English. This is the real story of a heroine mother and her daughter diagnoses with Autism and how CranioSacral Therapy helped.

In this introduction to Barral’s work Alison Harvey, a CST instructor with the Upledger Institute, who also runs the UK branch of the Barral Institute, shares some of her insights into the therapy and how it can integrate with CST.”
