Why CranioSacral works

Breakdown Of Why CranioSacral & SomatoEmotional Release Work For Certain Ailments

  • Headaches

By gently correcting the movement of the cranial bones, restrictions are lessened and the cerebrospinal fluid is able to flow better through your brain and spinal cord reducing pain in your body.

When emotions are released through SER, pain is decreased or goes away completely. When we hold emotions and they aren’t serving a positive purpose in our lives, pain usually results – sometimes through headaches or migraines.

  • Chronic Pain

By releasing restrictions in the fascia, muscles, and other areas of your body caused by past trauma, pain can be greatly reduced.

By allowing the restrictions to release around the sacrum it is able to move and function the way it is meant to which can greatly reduce back and leg pain.

By gently releasing the restrictions in the cranial bones, the bones are able to move the way they are supposed to allowing cerebrospinal fluid to flow easier and reducing pain and stiffness. This can improve headaches, migraines and emotional distress as well as other possible benefits.

By allowing restrictions to release in the fascia throughout your body, chronic pain is reduced and movement becomes easier and more fluent therefore easing pain.

  • Digestive Issues

When the fascia on the abdomen gets stuck, digestion becomes difficult.

When the fascia is released and moving freely, digestion is able to flow freely and in the best way.

Unwinding of the abdomen truly helps with digestive issues as well. Unwinding simply means allowing the restrictions to let go. This is a gentle process of following the way the fascia wants to release.

Unwinding can also be done anywhere on your body. The gentle process of allowing the fascia to release and be supported can take away pain and discomfort.

  • Emotional Issues

As humans we hold emotions in our bodies. After any kind of traumatic event, emotions can be held in our body causing pain and discomfort. 

When these emotions get stuck or do not have a proper way to release, pain often results. This can come in the form of headaches, body aches, or a variety of other forms of pain - chronic or acute.

We need to have a proper way to comfortably release these emotions.

Through SomatoEmotional Release, you are in a comfortable, safe place where it is ok to let these issues go. This can be done either through gentle dialogue between therapist and client or through the simple release of a part on the body that safely lets the past feeling go through breathing, crying, talking, unwinding, etc.

SomatoEmotional Release is not something that can be done to you (i.e. the therapist cannot cause it to happen in your body). Your body must be ready to release the emotion or emotions.

SomatoEmotional Release is very powerful. Clients who have had this experience leave feeling lighter, more clear headed, and with a sense of openness and ease. It is a truly beautiful thing to see.
