From a cranio sacral perspective anxiety can originate from different sources.

BIRTH
During birth a baby withstands enormous pressure. With each contraction, it’s body adjusts as needed, the membranes and small plates of bone in the cranium moving to accommodate the pressure. Even with the easiest of births the membranes of the skull can be restricted, setting the mould for growing bones to follow.

Not all births are easy. Sometimes, while still in the birth canal, the baby can feel the steely grip of forceps pulling it into the world before it is ready, or a suction cap dragging the soft head forward.

The umbilical cord can be wrapped around the neck, choking and tightening with the baby stuck and unable to do anything. Babies can strain for hours, head locked into the pelvis but unable to go any further, before their world is punctured by the Caesarean scalpel, causing sudden depressurisation, like a deep sea diver catapulted to the surface.

The body has a great capacity to absorb trauma and adjust as needed. A baby’s body is soft and pliable, giving it the best chance to withstand the rigours of birth. Once the baby is born the membranes of the cranium must reshape themselves after being pushed and compressed.
Restrictions and misalignment of cranial bones can remain throughout life. The full impact may not be evident until many years later as anxiety. How a person responds to the birth process is different in each case. For some people the birth process in itself can set up a pattern of restriction which causes anxiety.

TRAUMA
Emotionally traumatic events can leave deep patterns of restriction in the cranio sacral system which can manifest as anxiety.

Physical trauma to the middle of the back can lead to overstimulation of the adrenal glands. This excess adrenalins in the persons system can lead to an constant state of ‘fight or flight’.

My Patients Say This:

'When I first came to see John in early 2006 I was feeling so down and totally out of hope for recovery.

I had been sick for more than two years with almost no sign of recovery whatsoever. I had seen all kinds of doctors (mostly neurologists) and I had even had my head scanned.

Further, I had seen a lot of chiropractors and therapists, including other cranio sacral therapists.

I suffered heavily from dizziness, head aches, lack of ability to concentrate and a general fatigue which made it impossible for me to do anything without getting tired and feeling totally worn out.

However, all of this changed radically when I went to see John. Already after the first session I felt significantly better the following week. I was amazed and my condition just kept getting better and better over the next 4-5 months until I was almost 100% okay.

Today, I experience only very insignificant fatigue when I work extremely hard. But I guess that’s even pretty normal, so I think it is fair to say that I have fully recovered.

Thank you very much for this, John!! And to all you guys out there of course there are no guarantees when it comes to illness, but you have also got a chance!

And John’s way of doing things may very well work for you!

My case is a very good example of that.'

'Dear John,
This is a letter to say thank you. When I came to see you I can't say I had any great trust in you or cranio sacral therapy either. But I knew that my bi-polar disorder was quite literally threatening my life and I needed help. You gave me that help and I can only say how grateful I am to you.

I never thought I could ever live a 'normal' life, but now I do, and it's thanks to you. (Hey, that's poetry!)
Thanks, John.'

'THANKS A MILLION.
John,
Just a few lines to thank you for the help and treatment you have given me throughout my illness. You not only helped me but you gave me encouragement.

The medical profession gave up on me whereas you didn't.

You saved me from going for an operation and for that I am truly greatful.
Best wishes for the future. '

Heather Mitrovic - Brisbane, Australia.

'I first came across John's healing sessions while recovering from major brain surgery. Thankfully I am now fully recovered and I know that John was a key in that recovery providing a fundamental building block of support and healing strength.

The beauty of John's healing is that it encompasses the whole person, not just the physical and he works with an amazing sense of humour, lightness and love.'

C. Delaney, Risk analyst - London.

'The quality of my life in many areas has improved immensely and the layers of healing that John helped me through continue to have a beneficial effect on my health and my life.'

'I had Cranio Sacral Therapy for severe pain in my neck and shoulders. During the treatment I experienced a state of deep relaxation and wonderful healing.

My neck and shoulder pain is gone and many other little complaints disappeared. My health has improved greatly, I am feeling more secure and my energy level has increased beyond my wildest dreams.'

'When I first attended John Dalton I was suffering from high blood pressure, irregular heart beat and had not slept properly for approximately two months. Although initially sceptical, after the first session I was quite convinced that it was effective.

My sleep pattern immediately improved and my chest pressures eased.

The power of this treatment has been that it did not just cure the physical and most obvious symptoms but continued on to help me cure the emotional and more subtle problems which lay at the core of everything.'

Tony Gallery, Computer Analyst - Geneva, Switzeraland.

'I was in a car accident, receiving serious head injuries and was in a coma for three days. When I first saw John I couldn't co-ordinate my eyes and had double vision. I had memory loss and poor concentration.

I was amazed by John's sensitivity. A few days after my first treatment my eyes came back into line and have been perfect ever since, my mental abilities and my energy steadily improved.'

Kathy Kennedy, Acupuncturist - Cork, Ireland.

'I experienced Cranio Sacral Therapy as a powerful way of accessing the wisdom of the body. It brought me in touch with areas of myself that analytical work could not reach.'
