Stepupphysio Starts Craniosacral Therapy in Etobicoke

Online, August 27, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Craniosacral therapy is a very light technique used to release the Myofascial system, a web of light connective tissue that covers and connects the muscles, organs, and skeletal structures in our body. Poor posture, stress, inflammation, injuries, trauma and numerous medical conditions can cause restrictions of the fascia.

The goal of craniosacral therapy is to release a fascial restriction and restore the tissue health. The Myofascial system is another layer of the complex multi-system human body that needs to be addressed, especially in chronic conditions. A Craniosacral therapy session involves the physiotherapist gently placing their hands on the patient, which allows the therapist to tune into the craniosacral system. By gently working with the craniosacral system, the restrictions of the spine, skull, trunk or limbs will release. This therapy is often combined with other forms of manual therapy.

Every day your body endures stresses and strains that it must work to compensate for. Unfortunately, these changes often cause body tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system. These distortions can then cause tension to form around the brain and spinal cord resulting in restrictions. This can create a barrier to the healthy performance of the central nervous system, and potentially every other system it interacts with.

Fortunately, such restrictions can be detected and corrected using simple methods of touch. With a light touch, the CST practitioner uses his or her hands to evaluate the craniosacral system by gently feeling various locations of the body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around the brain and spinal cord. Soft-touch techniques are then used to release restrictions in any tissues influencing the craniosacral system. By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body's ability to self-correct, Craniosacral Therapy is able to alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions, from chronic pain and sports injuries to stroke and neurological impairment.

Stepupphysio medical clinic offers services in acupuncture, orthotics, low back pain, massage therapy and sports injury physiotherapy.
