CranioSacral Therapy in treating babies with torticollis, the shortening or tightening of the neck muscles on one side or the other causing the babies head to tilt.

This is an article about Brandon diagnosed with asymmetries in the face and cranium. He was treated with CranioSacral Therapy and improved rapidly from the 5th percentile to the 50th percentile in 40 days.

It was noted that CranioSacral Therapy was more cost-efficient and less intrusive than traditional treatment. 

Millie Woody takes her talents as CranialSacral Therapy(CST) to equine injuries.

Equine CranioSacral Therapy(CST) is a hands-on technique to the horse's body to release restrictions in the musculoskeletal system in the fascia. It is a tissue that weaves the whole body like a spider web.

Millie did CranioSacral Therapy on a horse who had a hematoma on her left inner leg the size of a basketball. Within a few months of CST and other work, she was able to stimulate pain and restore motion.

I've been through enough traumatic situations in my life to see the value in a spiritual and self-care toolbox to support my well being during periods of anxiety or depression.

It was a hug from an acquaintance at a networking lunch we hugged and then a painful thought washed over me, I don't know when I will be touched again.

~ Global Integration of the stress response and how to reach physiological equilibrium

Stress is a dynamic process that affects an organism, the outcome depending on the severity and duration of the stressors involved. The relationship between stress and the immune system is bidirectional and has an impact on the immune function. The Gut and the brain have interactions between peripheral immune activation especially in the visceral system and the brain functions of behavior and stress coping.

Effects of CranioSacral therapy as an adjunct to standard treatment for pelvic girdle pain in pregnant women: a multicenter, single-blind, randomized controlled trial. Our study shows less pain intensity in the morning and less deteriorated function, both reaching a degree of significance when CranioSacral therapy was combined with standard treatment for PGP in pregnancy.

As a physical therapist, I specialized in the rehab of adults with neurological disorders. But then debilitating pelvic pain pulled me out of my regular life.

I discovered the connection between my body, mind, and Spirit. CranioSacral Therapy (CST) developed by Dr. John Upledger, became a major route for this discovery. I witnessed the power of CST on the other side of the treatment table and was feeling well enough to go back to treating my patients.

Visceral Manipulation is a technique that addresses visceral dysfunction. Visceral dysfunction is when fluids, nutrition, and nerve conductivity are compromised. The visceral dysfunctional area will also have multiple parameters of restricted motion and thermal changes and fluid movement associated with neurological changes.

The BODY produces many strains over a lifetime. Treating the most important strain on the body will have the largest effect on the body.
