Craniosachral Therapy

Our bodies were made to heal themselves. There are so many things our bodies are doing at the current moment that we are totally unaware of. Think of your liver right now,  performing over 657 functions simultaneously.

Those of us living in cities where we breathe air that includes everything from chemicals sprayed to fumes from automobiles,  are likely dealing with some sort of allergy response. Your eyes and nose may get itchy and watery to get rid of the allergens. That is your body working to protect itself. Another quick example is how your body scabs up when it is cut.

While the body is an amazing creation made to heal itself,  it sometimes needs a little help. The problem is modern medicine doesn't seem to help without causing more problems. It is also unnecessarily invasive via surgeries that could be prevented with proper therapy. Or your doctor will simply prescribe a pill to mask the issue,  a pill that yields side affects or addiction. 

Craniosachral Therapy is a light touch therapy administered with a licensed practioner's hands that actually helps the body to heal itself.  In that way,  it is similar to massage therapy yet it is not massage therapy at all.  There is no deep tissue work done yet the results are amazing. 

For example,  a woman suffering  from severe menstrual cramps would not feel better from a massage. The movement alone would cause more pain. However,  Craniosachral Therapy  (CST)  can alleviate her cramping with a non- intrusive light touch. For a link to a TIME Magazine article on CST, click here TIME article on CST.

Why I'm Spreading the Word About CST

I feel so bad when I come into contact with people who are dealing with chronic pains or getting surgeries without trying CST because I know it can help.

Cured my Sciatica Issues 

My first experience with CST was in 1999. I was pregnant with my second child and unable to walk very far without my right leg giving out on me. I was only 19 and very healthy but experiencing sciatica due to the weight of the baby who ended up weighing 9lbs 5oz by the way. I would be walking and without notice, I'd experience intense pain, my leg would totally give out on me and I'd  fall down. I tried a great chiropractor but the relief was short lived. CST actually solved my sciatica issues.  

Fixed My Newborn's Head Trauma

Later in 1999, my biggest baby was born with even more drama than me falling down in the middle of the street from the sciatica. We both nearly died in the birth. Prior to the emergency cesarean, the doctor tried to pull my baby out with the suction cup (vaccuum extractor) having no idea that it was sucking the side of my babies head. So when Abdul-Malik was born, his face and head was sucked out to the side. It looked abnormal. My mother called a highly experienced Craniosachral Therapist in Naples, Florida named June. She worked on his head in his first week of life and fixed it. There was no trace of his birth trauma afterwards and no side effects.

Bronchitis and Athsma 

I had a spell of four months with bronchitis and asthma that wouldn't go away even with several courses of antibiotics, inhalers and steroids the doctor gave me. I could barely speak a few words without having a terrible spasm or coughing fit. After four months, I went to Albuquerque, NM and received CST from my mother. When I arrived,  I could barely talk a few words to her without almost choking for air. She put her hands on my chest and back and I came back with no more asthma, bronchitis or coughing. It wasn't a short lived cure. I went over a year without bronchitis. Like anything else, no one can guarantee you will be cured by CAR, I can only share my personal results with you. As Islam teaches us, the cure is from our Lord and Creator, Allah. 

Basic Idea of How It Works in Layman's Terms

CST aids the natural flow/rhythm within our body. Many of our health issues and pains come from blockages that can be alleviated with craniosachral therapy. CST recognizes that the body is capable of healing itself and aims to help it do just that. Fascia is a continuous thin fibrous film covering that covers all your organs and muscles. Various things can cause our fascia can have kinks in it. With CST, can smooth out those  kinks. The result is is better circulation which promotes healing, decreases inflammation and relieves pain. As we all know, stress causes many of our health issues. It causes tension which blocks the natural flow of our many systems on our body. With Craniosachral Therapy, you can actually feel it release stress built up in your body.

Who Developed CST

While aiding a neck surgery, Dr. Upledger observed that the Cerebro-Spinal fluid has its own rhythm. He developed this therapy to help the body return to the right cerebro-spinal rhythm.

Before you go and get a surgery on your knee, neck etc, please look into alternate therapies. Try Craniosachral Therapy to save yourself from a costly highly invasive techniques most doctors and hospitals are profiting from. If you do have a surgery/ surgical wound, please be advised that CST aids and speeds up the healing process. I pray I've properly introduced one of the best alternative health therapies and hopefully inspired someone to look into and give it a try! 

To find a practitioner, you can call the Upledger Institute or go here: International Association of Healthcare Practitioners  to find one in your local area. To learn more about CST, please go to the official website Upledger Institute.
