How CranioSacral Therapy Calms Your Nervous System

One of the known benefits of CranioSacral therapy is its ability to help the body to calm and reset –

We have excellent research that was done with firefighters for whom being in a state of flight and fright is almost fundamental. One study showed that a single session induced faster recovery of heart rate and from flight or fright into rest and digest. ^{1, 2, 3}

What does this mean in everyday life – 

• The 3-year old who had been apprehensive around using public restrooms, including at school. Her parents had seen great results with craniosacral therapy when she was a baby and decided it was time for another session. One session later and the child was calmer and the apprehension was gone.
• The infant/child/adult needing a surgical procedure being able to enter the operatory calm and relaxed. 
• The woman whose work/life was high stress such that she was unable to conceive. 
• The person who gets off my table and shares that she has not felt this calm and relaxed in who knows how long.      

We are living in times of heightened stress; we are living with stressors in our personal and work lives. 

If the only gain from an hour on my table or in my hands is helping the body to calm and reset – that is a win.
