Jaw Pain & TMD

If you suffer from jaw pain, tightness or clicking, cranial sacral can help. After a few treatments of CST, mouth work can then begin. It is important to make sure the occipital base and sacrum move freely before starting mouth work to ensure that the techniques will remain permanent. CST’s will wear gloves and apply […]

Surgery & CST

If you have a surgery coming up, getting a cranial sacral treatment beforehand can help you calm down from anxiety and put your body into it’s natural healing mode. Having another treatment after your surgery can help with recovery and pain management too. I recommend it to all my clients having learned about it from […]

Tinnitus & Diet

Recently my sister read a posting from Dr. Barbara O’Neill about diet and tinnitus. Dr. O’Neill recommends removing sugar, wheat and dairy from your diet if you suffer from tinnitus. Sugar, wheat and dairy increase inflammation in your body and make tinnitus worse. I suffer from tinnitus and since cutting back on these, I have […]

Vertigo & Tinnitus

At my recent Somato Emotional Release course in Edmonton at the end of Oct, I had the foresight to ask a TA if she had any tips for tinnitus. She happily replied that she did and demonstrated them on me. She mentioned these techniques also work for vertigo. My tinnitus was particularly bad and I […]

Meniers & Cranial Sacral

I have had some success treating a person with Meniers disease. There was a gradual decrease in episodes of vertigo until the bouts of dizziness only threatened to come on and then they stopped. The dizziness would start to come back -although not as severe as before – after major physical activity and high stress.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

Perhaps the best treatment for whiplash is Cranial Sacral Therapy. It is one of the few treatments that can be done the same day as a car accident. It is so gentle and beneficial for spinal whiplash because it is not manipulation but rather an aid to help the body recover with it’s own inherent […]

TMJ & TMD

While TMJ or Temporomandibular Joint refers to the joint only, jaw dysfunction or TMD – Temporomandibular Dysfunction – is a fairly common disorder involving jaw pain, headaches and usually painful clicking when opening your mouth. Clenching and grinding can also be involved. Besides wearing a mouthguard at night and or during the day, getting Cranial […]

Colitis & CST

If you are suffering from colitis, cranial sacral might provide you with relief. I have recently helped someone by working on their colon. A very large release occurred that was very palpable to both myself and my client. The result was an 80% improvement in symptoms. Never underestimate the power of the human body to […]

Constipation

Cranial Sacral can be very beneficial for those with constipation. Often not talked about due to embarrassment, this affects more of the population that we realize. It can be ongoing or intermittent but either way it can cause some pretty serious discomfort. Working with the low back, pelvis, sacrum, psoas and fascia is often the […]
