CranioSacral Therapy For Pregnant Mothers

Incredibly gentle and non-invasive, CranioSacral Therapy has been shown to have powerful effects. Through a very light touch (generally no more than five grams of pressure), CranioSacral Therapy works to relieve tensions in the body that may impede the functioning of the central nervous system. When this achieved and homeostasis is restored in the nervous system, the body is more easily able to return to a greater sense of balance.

Over the years, our CranioSacral Therapist at the Lake of the Ozarks has been honored to assist many different individuals with many different conditions and symptoms. This week, we want to look specifically at a unique clientele base that can particularly benefit from CranioSacral Therapy: expecting mothers.

Pregnancy Is The Biggest Transformation A Woman's Body Can Undergo

It's no secret that pregnancy is a hugely transformative experience for an expecting mother. Her body will undergo numerous changes as her baby grows, finally culminating at birth. As the baby grows, she may experience additional strain in or around or her back, hips, and pelvic area. By gently releasing tension, CranioSacral Therapy may be able to help relieve these tensions and facilitate these important transitions her body is undergoing.

Pregnancy Is A Hugely Emotional Process For Most Women

We would be remiss if we did not acknowledge that pregnancy is also often an incredibly emotional experience. Surging hormones make women more susceptible to mood swings, but even apart from the stereotypical "pregnancy hormones," becoming a new mom (regardless of whether or not it is her first baby) is often a hugely emotional experience. CranioSacral Therapy aims to balance the spiritual and emotional aspect of our physical health, so therapists may be able to help ease this emotional transition.

CranioSacral Therapy May Be Able To Ease Some Of The Common Pregnancy Aches & Pains

Through its use of light touch, CranioSacral Therapy encourages healing, mobility, and expansion. CranioSacral Therapy has been able to help ease a wide variety of pregnancy-related aches, pains, and symptoms, including:

• Back Pain
• Rib Pain
• Hip Pain
• Posterior Babies
• Headaches & Migraines
• Chronic Fatigue
• Cesarean Recovery
• Stress-Related Problems
• Epidural Recovery

CranioSacral Therapy can also help to prepare the body for the physical demands that labor will require. In fact, some studies have shown that women who receive regular CranioSacral Therapy treatments throughout their pregnancies have fewer complications and shorter, easier labors.

CranioSacral Therapy: Healing From The Inside Out

Where does pain come from? 

We experience pain for a variety of different reasons. Many people are fully aware that our bodies can feel pain after being injured in an accident, undergoing surgery, or exercising too much, but people are sometimes surprised to learn that pain can also result from repeated minor stressors on the body and unresolved emotional issues.

Just as pain stems from multiple different factors, people handle their pain with any number of different methods. Some people take pain killers, others opt to "tough it out," and still others look for ways to combat the pain by healing the root issue. Many of our clients have enjoyed great success with CranioSacral Therapy - a gentle, hands-on, therapeutic approach to healing and resolving trauma in the body. We are proud to offer our clients professional CranioSacral Therapy at the Lake of the Ozarks - keep reading to learn more about how CranioSacral Therapy may be able to help you.

A Brief Overview CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy (sometimes simply called "CST") was developed by Dr. John E. in the 1970s. At the time, Dr. Upledger was working as a professor of Bio-Mechanics at the University of Michigan. Later, Dr. Upledger founded the Upledger Institute and devoted his live to teaching and continuing to develop CranioSacral Therapy. Today, Dr. Upledger's programs are taught in over fifty countries, and CranioSacral therapists are using his techniques in hospitals and other facilities all around the globe.

What Is CranioSacral Therapy, Really?

CST is gentle, hands-on therapy that aims to release tensions in the body that can impede the functioning of the central nervous system. When these tensions are successfully released, the homeostasis of the central nervous system is restored and the body is able to return to a state of better balance with a greater sense of ease. CranioSacral therapists use a very light touch (typically equivalent to five grams or less) when working with their clients. This allows them to tune into each body's needs and respond appropriately, rather than imposing various techniques upon their clients.

How Can CranioSacral Therapy Help Me?

The benefits of CranioSacral Therapy are almost endless. It has shown to be effective treating a vast array of various medical conditions. In addition to treating existing conditions, CST is also being increasingly used as preventative treatment method because of its ability to help the body resist disease. Among many other things, CranioSacral Therapist has been shown to help clients with...

History of Massage Therapy

Massage therapy dates back literally thousands of years, with the first recorded practices in India and China taking place somewhere around 3,000 BCE. Massage therapy owes its longevity and success to its unique ability to work with the tissues of the body to relieve tension, stress, stiffness, and other symptoms.

Hippocrates himself, the father of modern medicine, expressed the belief that "The physician must be experienced in many things, but most assuredly in 'rubbing' - for rubbing can bind a joint that is too loose and loosen a joint that is to rigid."
