Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (Gillespie Approach) & John Barnes Myofascial Release
Both hands-on therapies have a positive effect on the balancing of the autonomic nervous system. Using a gentle and sustained touch with long holds supports the body to feel safe, supported, and held. This sense of safety allows the nervous system to return to the state of rest and repair from the state of fight or flight. Both therapies support the resolution of conditions resulting from stress, and they work particularly well with trauma by gently facilitating the body and brain to resolve held experiences in the fascia.
The craniosacral system has a natural cycle of expansion and contraction called the Brain Cycle. This can ultimately present in a whole host of symptoms such as long covid, migraines, birth trauma, chronic pain, whiplash, concussion, anxiety/ depression, stress, fibromyalgia just to name a few.
Fascial therapy is designed to gently unwind the layers of trauma, releasing strain patterns, balancing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and strengthening the Brain Cycle creating an environment the body needs to heal .Many notice improvements immediately following a session, including better sleep, reduced pain, and improved mood. Cumulative benefits continue to develop over subsequent sessions.
