CranioSacral Therapy: A Gentle Approach to Brain Injuries

Understanding How CranioSacral Therapy Works

Craniosacral therapy offers a unique, non-invasive approach to supporting recovery from concussions and traumatic brain injuries by focusing on several key physiological processes: Reducing Cranial Membrane Restrictions

After a brain injury, the delicate membranes surrounding the brain and spinal cord can become restricted or tense. Craniosacral therapy uses extremely light touch to facilitate healing by: Gently releasing these membrane restrictions. Improving the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. Potentially reducing inflammation. And also by supporting the body's natural healing mechanisms. Concussions and TBIs can significantly disrupt the nervous system.

Craniosacral therapy may help reduce the symptoms of Brain Injuries by: Calming the sympathetic (fight-or-flight) nervous system. Activating the parasympathetic (rest and heal) nervous system. And by reducing overall neurological stress via promoting a state of deep relaxation.

Specific Symptom Relief

Patients may experience improvements in: Headaches and migraines, sleep disturbances, cognitive fog and concentration difficulties, emotional regulation challenges, and sensory sensitivity.

The goal of CranioSacral Therapy is to: enhance brain-body communication, support neural pathway recovery, and improve overall neurological function.

The Science Behind the Approach

While research is ongoing, the basis of CranioSacral Therapy is that both the brain and the body have inherent self-healing capabilities.

Through gentle touch, CranioSacral can support the body's natural recovery processes after a brain injury. Reducing stress and inflammation can promote neurological healing, which will help you feel like yourself again.
