  • 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.

MT is a profession with the intention of positively affecting the health and well-being of the client through a variety of touch techniques (American Massage Therapy Association Glossary of Terms). MT’s are trained in assessment, treatment planning, application of various massage techniques/modalities, communication/reporting with both patients and members of the health care team (Goldblatt 2009). MT use is widespread in the US, and is increasingly viewed as part of integrative health care. This is due to a rapidly expanding evidence base (Moyer & Dryden 2012, Moyer et al. 2009) and MT’s popularity for treating common health complaints. A 2007 National Institute of Health (NIH) survey of US adults found that MT was the the number one out-of-pocket practitioner-based expense and the second most commonly used practitioner-based CAM therapy -- nearly equalling the volume of chiropractic/osteopathic care (Barnes 2008).

  • Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration (IPP)
    Member of the Fédération Française de Psychothérapie et Psychanalyse (FF2P) Institute Accredited by the European Association of Psychotherapy Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration (IPP) By Eliane and Claude Vaux Société Civile IFCC – SIRET 405 186 875 00036 – 102 Route du Polygone – 67100 Strasbourg Tel: 0033 (0)3 88 60 44 84 – Email: [email protected] – Site: www.ifcc-psychotherapie.fr 1 2 Short history The IFCC was founded in 1996 with enthusiasm and joy. Eliane Jung-Fliegans, clinical psychologist, and Claude Vaux, body psychotherapist, combined their expertise and their passion for this work since 1982 and decided to create a psychotherapy training course mainly focused on Gestalt Therapy and Postural Integration. At the time, Claude Vaux was working in Paris at the Triangle association, with Michel Sokoloff and Dominique Vayner. Triangle opens the field to new therapies from the USA and from India by organizing seminars and training courses. In this way, they bring to France a range of therapists known in Esalen, cradle of humanist psychology, such as Léonard Orr, creator of Rebirth, Paul Rebillot, founder of Experiential Gestalt, Alexander Lowen, founder of Bioenergetic Analysis, Gerda Boyesen, creator of Biodynamics, Harvey Jackins, founder of Co-Counseling, Jack Painter, creator of Postural Integration… Eliane, after obtaining a master’s degree in psychology, created the Cabinet of Humanist Psychology in Strasbourg, where she practices Gestalt Therapy and Creative Visualization. Little by little, the method they teach became more and more distinctive and eventually unified under the name of Psychotherapeutic Postural Integration. Claude and Eliane collaborate with Jack Painter and Paul Rebillot, but above all integrate into their training the Regenerative Movement taught by Itsuo Tsuda, whom Claude met in 1978.

  • 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.

  • Alternative Sports Medicine What's New and How You Can Get Back
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE February 2007 Contact: Sue Seecof, Rolf Institute, [email protected], 800-530-8875 Alternative Sports Medicine What’s New And How You Can Get Back On Your Feet In No Time Boulder, CO..."Alternative approaches can be helpful for just about any soft tissue injury an athlete’s likely to incur, whether it’s a less-serious acute problem, such as a sprain or pulled hamstring, or a chronic condition such as tendonitis or knee pain." Women’s Outside, Fall ‘99. Kristen Ulmer, former World Champion Extreme skier and U.S. Freestyle Ski team, mogul specialist, who had a series of knee surgeries as a result of injuries and tendonitis says, "After the surgery I had excruciating pain and could not drive or walk." Revered as the "best female Extreme skier" for the past 8-9 years, Ulmer tried Rolfing® bodywork for soft tissue injuries and says it brought her hips and ankles back into alignment, and the pain disappeared. "It healed so fast I can't believe it!" says Kristen. "The expected 6 month recovery time was cut in half, and three months after surgery I was trekking to Cho Oyu on a Himalayan ski expedition." "Ulmer was desperate to find relief from her chronic knee pain. So after her most recent surgery, she rested her knee and signed up for ten Rolfing treatments. By the time she had received Rolfing from head to toe, she was pain-free for the first time in years and is back on the slopes." Women's Sports and Fitness, July ‘99.
