Th2 - Cranio Sacral Treatment
Ξ June 19th, 2008 | → | ∇ Treatment Theory |
There are two aspects to the process of cranio sacral treatment.
The first is to locate the primary restriction causing the problem.
The second is to encourage this restriction to release.
We use highly refined palpatory skills to perceive areas of restriction.
Palpation is defined as ‘examining by touch’ or ‘listening with the hands’.
It relates to how things feel with your hands.
Rather than pushing or manipulating the body into a set or ‘correct’
position, we use techniques to assist the body to release its own restrictions.
When restrictions are released in this way they are gone for good.
Once a treatment program is complete there are no follow up or maintenance programs.

My son has periodic migrane headaches which increase when there are stressful situations. He recently underwent his first cranio-sacral adjustment, and has had severe headaches for the following three days. I wouild appreciate any observations you might have.

Hello Beck,
I am sorry to hear your son’s headaches got worse after treatment.
Based on what you have written it doesn’t sound like the person you brought your son to is a cranio sacral therapist. Cranio sacral therapists don’t make ‘adjustments’. Adjustments are done by chiropractors or osteopaths which are different approaches.
I suggest you find a cranio sacral therapist that has experience in treating migraines and can put you in touch with patients they have successfully treated for migraines.
