The five basic strokes are effleurage (sliding or gliding), petrissage (kneading), tapotement (rhythmic tapping), friction (cross fiber) and vibration/shaking. Swedish massage has shown to be helpful in reducing pain, joint stiffness, and improving function in patients with osteoarthritis of the knee over a period of eight weeks. It has also been shown to be helpful in individuals with poor circulation. The term “Swedish” massage is actually only recognized in English speaking countries. Elsewhere the style is referred to as “classic massage”.. Craniosacral Therapy Also called CST, also spelled CranioSacral bodywork of therapy A craniosacral therapy session involves the therapist placing their hands on the patient, which allows them to tune into what they call the craniosacral rhythm. The practitioner claims to gently work with the spine and the skull and its cranial suture, diaphragms, and fascia. In this way, the restrictions of the nerve passages are said to be eased, the movement of cerebrospinal fluid through the spinal cord is said to be optimized, and misaligned bones are said to be restored to their proper position. Craniosacral therapists use the therapy to treat mental stress, neck and back pain, migraines, TMJ Syndrome, and for chronic pain conditions such as fibromyalgia. Aromatherapy Massage Is a form of alternative medicine that uses volatile plant materials, known as essential oils, and other aromatic compounds for the purpose of altering a person’s mind, mood, cognitive function or health. Since some essential oils such as tea tree have demonstrated anti-mocrobial effects, it has been suggested that they may be useful for the treatment of infectious diseases. Evidence for the efficacy of aromatherapy in treating medical conditions remain poor, with a particular lack of studies employing rigorous methodology, however some evidence exists that essential oils may have therapeutic potential. Reiki Is a spiritual practice developed in 1922 by Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. It uses a technique commonly called palm healing as a form of complementary and alternative medicine and is sometimes classified as oriental medicine by some professional bodies. Through the use of this technique, practitioners claim to transfer healing energy in the form of ki through the palms. Deep Tissue Massage / Detox Deep tissue massage is designed to relieve severe tension in the muscle and the connective tissue or fascia. This type of massage focuses on the muscles located below the surface of the top muscles. Deep tissue massage is often recommended for individuals who experience consistent pain, are involved in heavy physical activity (such as athletes), and patients who have sustained physical injury. It is not uncommon for receivers of deep tissue massage to have their pain replaced with a new muscle ache for a day or two. Deep tissue work varies greatly. It should not be confused with "deep pressure" massage, which is one that is performed with sustained strong, occasionally intense pressure throughout an entire full-body session, and that is not performed to address a specific complaint. Deep tissue massage is applied to both the superficial and deep layers of muscles, fascia, and other structures. The sessions are often quite intense as result of the deliberate, focused work. When a client asks for a massage and uses the term “deep tissue”, more often than not he or she is seeking to receive a full-body session with a sustained deep pressure throughout. If a practitioner employs deep tissue techniques on the entire body in one session, it would be next to impossible to perform: it might lead to injury or localized muscle and nerve trauma, thereby rendering the session counterproductive..

  • What Is Craniosacral Therapy?
    INTEGRATIVE APPROACH TO CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY I –FAS CIAL CONNECTION What is Craniosacral (crane-e-o-sacral) Therapy? What is Craniosacral Therapy? Craniosacral Therapy started in the osteopathic community in the early 1900’s as a way to feel restrictions in the cranial bones and fascia. By freeing the cranial bones and the fascia, the practitioner is able to assist the body in regaining normal function in the nervous, lymph, hormonal, myofascial, and gastrointestinal system. Craniosacral Therapy is a whole person therapy focusing on physical, mental, emotional and spiritual health. Craniosacral therapy is founded on the belief that the body knows exactly how to heal. The role of the physician is to help you heal yourself and facilitate the healing process. The primary goal in a Craniosacral session is to not only treat your condition, but maximize your health overall. What is involved in a Craniosacral Session? Craniosacral therapy is a gentle non-invasive hands-on therapy that follows the subtle movement of your fascia or connective tissue. The physician will lightly place (less than a nickel weight of pressure) his/her hands on areas of restriction that facilitates the body to gently release fixations. During the session the person is fully clothed and the therapist evaluates restrictions in movement from different parts of the body. A session usually lasts one hour but that can vary depending on the condition. What do people usually experience with Craniosacral Therapy? Most people feel very relaxed and some even fall asleep. Many people can feel the movement inside their bodies and describe it like they are floating on water.

  • Anthroposophic Craniosacral Therapy
    Anthroposophic Craniosacral Therapy International Anthroposophic Network for CST 12 co-workers from Europe, UK, USA, Russia and Australia Craniosacral Therapy (CST) - cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) Introduction: The last 50 years has seen a growing appreciation of the therapeutic potential of both Cranial Osteopathy (as practiced by Osteopaths) and Craniosacral Therapy (as practiced by non - Osteopaths). There are now a number of branches and streams of this therapeutic bodywork in the world. A good number of anthroposophic physicians and therapists have been drawn to and trained in this work, which is deeply connected to rhythm and the etheric body. This article describes the connection between Anthroposophic Medicine and cranio-sacral theory and practice. History The origin of cranio-sacral research can be traced as far back as 1744, to writings on occult physiology by Emmanuel Swedenborg. In his text “The Brain” Swedenborg describes a “…pulsating spirituous fluid animating the cerebrospinal fluid that in turn animates the entire body”, 1744 So one could say that Craniosacral Therapy (CST) has a root in the traditions of European Christian mysticism. In America the two grandfathers of Osteopathy Dr. Andrew Taylor Still (1828-1917) and William Garner Sutherland (1873-1954) developed the therapeutic forms from which this modern practice has evolved. They were both deeply spiritual men who often spoke of the divine realm in metaphors - ‘the great architect’ and ‘the breath of life’. The movement of the cranial bones was first studied by Sutherland. It is likely that he had read Swedenborg. The work was then developed and held in a small circle emerging out of a spiritual stream of the osteopathic profession around 1930-50.

  • 30 Spa Holidays for a Happier, Healthier New Year
    30 spa holidays for a happier, healthier new year Banish that work-from-home back: Four Seasons Resort at Landaa Giraavaru CREDIT: DON RIDDLE IMAGES/DON RIDDLE • Suzanne Duckett, SPA EXPERT 1 JANUARY 2021 • 9:00AM After nearly a year of being grounded, trips taken from here on have to count on so many levels – personally, professionally, psychologically and ecologically. Whether you admit it or not, the enforced slow down and more time spent with yourself, your partner or your family has unearthed some home truths. Lack of routine has led, for many, to comfort eating, sporadic exercise, wine being cracked open most evenings and an increased dependency on digital technology. This will be the year to reset and redress the meaning of “well-travelled” in every sense when the world finally reopens to us. The options to reset, reflect and restore are endless and deeply personal. What floats one person’s boat (fasting and detoxing to lighten the load?) creates a sinking feeling in others (who might prefer a retreat in Mexico to mend a broken heart). Some seek a retreat on their own, others – when rules allow – want to take the whole brood for a reboot. Though the children haven’t left their sight for more than a few school hours during the past year, they have never felt more disconnected from them. Then there are fitness breaks, from Spain to the Caribbean, which may spark a new love of exercise; and retreats ensconced in nature that might just change your life altogether. Wellness travel and traditional travel are not separate; they are one and the same.

Samantha has introduced me to a new way of thinking and living that has enhanced my life. Being trained to understand the natural protective bodily response of trauma, I have an understanding of the very real possibility of post traumatic growth and resiliency. This approach does not manipulate the body, and only a gentle light contact is made with your body. While looking at a disarticulated skull , Sutherland was struck by the idea that the cranial sutures of the temporal bones where they meet the parietal bones were "beveled, like the gills of a fish, indicating articular mobility for a respiratory mechanism.

  • Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
    NOVEMBER 2018 A Monthly Insight into WELLNESS THERAPY Knot’s News Craniosacral Therapy (CST) What is Craniosacral Therapy? Craniosacral Therpy, also called CST, or cranial osteopathy, it is a gentle, non-invasive, hands-on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve whole-body health and performance. As decribed by the Cranial Therapy Center, CST theory and practice is based on understanding the continuous subtle movements of the cranial bones, which result in a rhythm of approximately six to twelve cycles per minute. This rhythm is understood as a response to cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) fluctuations within the spinal cord and brain environment. The subtle movement extends outward to the entire body, in response to the fluid pressure changes around the Central Nervous System. A therapist gently works with the whole body including the spine and the skull, and its cranial sutures, diaphragms, and fascia. By using the hands as fine discriminating tools, Craniosacral therapists are able to detect disturbances in the cranial sacral rhythm to help them identify areas of dysfunction, such as cranial, sutural, membrane and other soft tissue restrictions in the body. Patients remain clothed during a treatment and treatments generally are one hour long. A treatment works in the following ways: Craniosacral Therapy is beneficial for all ages and can help: • Helps restore normal cranial mobility; • Recurrent ear infections; • Releases abnormal myofascial restrictions and • Facial asymmetries and eye

According to acupuncture theory, these acupuncture points lie along meridians along which qi, a kind of vital energy, is said to flow. There is no generally-accepted anatomical or histological basis for these concepts, and modern acupuncturists tend to view them in functional rather than structural terms, (as a useful metaphor in guiding evaluation and care of patients). Acupuncture is thought to have originated in China and is most commonly associated with Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM). Different types of acupuncture (Classical Chinese, Japanese acupuncture) are practiced and taught throughout the world. Bowen Technique The Bowen Technique is one version of a group of technical interpretations of the work of Australian osteopath Tom Bowen (1916–1982) known as Bowen Therapy, which is a holistic system of healing.

  • Craniosacral Therapy
    Alternative Medicine | 11.05 Key Points Craniosacral Therapy 1. Craniosacral therapy is a November 15, 2005 -- On the surface, craniosacral therapy (CST) seems like it would be a good fit for Chiari broad term for a category of patients. Developed by an osteopath in the early 1900's, the foundation for CST is the rhythmic movement of the alternative therapies which use brain and spinal fluid. Therapists use extremely gentle touch to manipulate the bones in the skull (cranium) and light touch to stimulate the along the spine to the sacrum (tail) to release restrictions and improve the natural flow and rhythm. As every "natural" rhythm of the brain Chiari patient knows, the malformation, and quite often scarring, restricts CSF flow, causing symptoms and and spinal fluid even syringomyelia. But before everyone looks up their nearest craniosacral therapist, there a few things you should know about CST. 2. Practitioners "feel" the natural rhythm with their hands and First and foremost, CST is extremely controversial, with both strong advocates, and equally strong, and harsh, gently massage along the critics. CST is generally considered a sham by mainstream doctors and scientists, who believe its theories are cranial sutures to release groundless, there is no evidence of its effectiveness, and that practitioners are taking advantage of desperate restrictions people. Brid Hehir, a nurse/midwife, wrote in an opinion piece for the journal RCM Midwives, "[CST] is 3. Very controversial treatment disingenuous. Patients are being taken for a ride by people who, while being scornful of scientific medicine, with very harsh critics seduce patients into believing they need to have sessions of worthless therapy...Parents can be vulnerable when it comes to their newborn babies, and will try any number of therapies [to help] an existing problem." 4.

  • Craniosacral Therapy and Myofascial Release
    Manual Therapies Several types of manual therapy are used at OTA The Koomar Center (OTA) as part of an individual’s intervention program. These techniques include but are not limited to craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and massage. Occupational therapists, physical therapists, and other health care practitioners use manual therapies to help the body utilize its own healing abilities to balance body functions. Craniosacral therapy was originated by Dr. John Upledger, who identified as a body system the membranes and fluid that surround the brain and spinal cord. The system extends from the head (cranium) to the “tail” (sacrum) giving the treatment its name. Myofascial release is another soft tissue manipulation technique involving relaxation and realignment of the fascia, or tissues covering the muscles. All manual therapies utilized at OTA are hands-on, gentle, non-intrusive techniques that resemble a gentle massage, and are most often experienced as calming and relaxing. The effects of manual therapies vary from person to person, but results can include increased comfort and generalized calm, decreased pain and muscular tension, improved motor function, increased organization, and improved tolerance for sensory stimulation. Many therapists at OTA specialize in manual therapies and routinely use these techniques as an integral part of therapy sessions. Sessions specifically devoted to manual therapy are also offered and are typically 30-45 minutes in length. These sessions may precede or follow the regularly scheduled sessions emphasizing sensory integration, depending upon the client’s tolerance. Resources: www.upledger.com Cohen, D. (1995).
