What is Fascia?

Fascia is a general term for connective tissue found in every layer of the body and it’s organs down to the cellular level. It exists in various degrees of strength or flexibility dependent upon it's location and required function.

 
What is the Craniosacral System?

This term refers to the entirety of structures that contain, support and protect the central nervous system.  It consists of the brain, spinal cord, cerebrospinal fluid, and the bones of the head, spine and pelvis.

What or Who is Fascial Therapy best for?

This work can be beneficial for anyone who has ever had an injury.  Starting at birth and accumulating throughout life, injuries create tilts and twists in the body that begin to compress soft tissue structures like nerves and vessels that carry blood and lymph.  This is known as a strain pattern.  Over time, strain patterns will overlap and eventually restrict soft tissue enough to change the position of skeletal structures.   Symptoms throughout this process are often scattered because the location of an individual’s strain patterns will be responsible for the effects it has.   

Why is it so effective?

Fascial techniques are intended to address strain patterns in the body, but more importantly, they addresses directly the effect a strain pattern has on the craniosacral system.  Once the craniosacral system is free from restriction and the cerebrospinal fluid achieves an optimal flow, the body is better able to heal and balance itself.

Why does my baby/ toddler cry during the session?

Children under 4 are more likely to cry during therapy.  We assume that this is due to frustration or confusion, as the techniques are far too mild and gentle to cause pain.
