Advanced Cranial Structural Treatments

Pain Relief from Chronic and Acute Issues

 

When one is in pain, our attitude, our environment is greatly affected.   We seem obsessed with "how can I get rid of this pain!"

Pain Relief from Chronic and Acute issues can be realized most effectively with this advanced training and application of Cranial/Structural work.  We do not simply address the symptoms, we go after the cause.  Determining how to address the issue that is producing neck and/or back pain, or any other part of the body depends on adequate evaluation and addressing of the body’s structure which is at the cause of chronic and acute pain.   This is why we first visually assess the structure by observing the client standing so their weight-bearing structure emerges.  We are then able to see the strain patterns in the body. In the case of almost every client reporting a painful condition, there is an imbalance in the pelvis with one side rotating forward and one rotating backward.   We then can use this assessment to create an individualized treatment plan. Every person's body is different, and each treatment session is specific to their issues and body.

These advanced energetic techniques address the SBS joint, just above C1 of the spinal column.  This point of the sphenoid and occiput within the depths of the cranium is a focal point of the neurosystem to shift and balance the entire musculoskeletal system. Once this joint moves into alignment, the rest of the structure can now move into alignment because of the relationship between the cranium and the structure of the whole body.

As above, so below.  We have found over years of extensive research and treatment, that the sphenoid and the pelvic bones are intricately related.  As the core distortion is released, we are actually affecting the alignment of the pelvic bones as well.  This begins an unwinding process throughout the whole body and often produces dramatic relief.

As the body begins to stabilize, the structural compensations begin to release throughout the body, relieving stress on the joints, spine, and discs - and the possibility of being pain-free can become a reality!

By combining deep tissue massages and cranial/structural techniques we are able to balance your structure releasing many of the issues that have caused your pain. We specialize in providing sciatic pain relief (also referred to as sciatic nerve pain relief), myofascial relief and many other effective treatments. Whether you are in recent pain or have had a long-term issue, we have been able to help many people live a pain-free life.

We have been helping people find relief from many conditions associated with whiplash flexion/extension injuries, headaches, neck pain, shoulder pain, degenerative disc disease, hiatal hernias, herniated discs or bulging discs, carpal tunnel, nerve entrapment, sciatica (providing sciatic pain relief), low back pain, hip pain, knee pain, or foot pain and tailbone pain – that is usually related to the musculoskeletal structure. By addressing and releasing the core distortion pattern through a combination of techniques including deep tissue massages and cranial release we are able to achieve pain relief, homeostasis, and return to normal function.

We are happy to offer a combination of services designed to help people return to a pain-free and stress-free live including Luminous Bodywork, Lymphatic Drainage Therapy, Cranial- Structural Integration Bodywork, Facilitated Pathways and SET/SCI Bodywork that helps with Sports Rehabilitation Therapy,  Prevention - SET bodywork is a combination of several techniques designed to release restrictions and rebalance the body to alleviate symptoms that cause acute and chronic pain by:

  • Integrating myofascial restructuring, emotional energy release, acupressure, kinesiology,  muscle testing, postural analysis, scar tissue and adhesion release, deep tissue massage therapy  and rehabilitative therapy. Helping provide sciatic pain relief, nerve entrapment and many more treatments for pain. For further details please read: BEYOND THE BOX EVOLUTION OF SET &  Deep Tissue Techniques Article
  • Incorporating  Cranial/Structural Core Distortion Release techniques to initiate the unwinding of the core distortion pattern (a pattern in the body that causes pain) which facilitates soft tissue releases. See also: Cranial-Structural Release Article
  • Using a specific sequence of techniques applied to protocols that have been developed to release old structural patterns that cause specific painful conditions and dysfunction.
  • Addressing the primary area of discomfort using these protocols, and then releases any restrictions causing imbalances in the other areas of the body so the improved alignment is supported.  When this is accomplished, the whole structure supports balance and function, and maximum rehabilitation is achieved.
  • Complimenting  standard medical treatments and chiropractic, both as primary therapy and an adjunct therapy as with many forms of alternative medicines
  • Rehabbing many problems associated with the spine including scoliosis, degenerative disc disease, bulging discs, herniated cervical disc, herniated discs, nerve entrapment, peripheral nerve damage, stenosis, whiplash, hyperlordosis, hypolordosis, reverse curvature of the neck, arthritis, osteoporosis, surgical scar and adhesions, surgical complications and much more.

Cranial work is Key to Successful Release of pain, headaches

Some of the most common distortions are joint pain, scoliosis, headaches, back and neck pain, TMJ, fibromyalgia, disc conditions, carpal tunnel, and nerve entrapments to name a few. All pain has a cause and a solution. Cranial/Structural Energetics offers hope for those suffering from acute and chronic pain and dysfunction. The result is long-term rehabilitation from your painful symptoms.

All the therapies below are included within the physical bodywork

  • SET –   Structural Energetic Therapy  — Release of structural patterns starting with the cranium, and releasing through the causal core distortion
  • SCI –   Structural Cranial Integration  — advanced work on the above
  • FPI –   Facilitated Pathways   — Releasing the external cranial nerves through points on the cranium.

We combine several techniques designed to release restrictions and re-balance the body to give us relief from acute and chronic pain with the following:

freeing the neck

Releasing constrictions of the Neck

the Lamina Groove

Releasing deep patterns that hold in pain and restriction

Deep Release of the Hamstrings

  • Integrating myofascial restructuring, emotional energy release, acupressure, kinesiology,  muscle testing, postural analysis, scar tissue and adhesion release, deep tissue massage therapy, and rehabilitative therapy provides sciatic pain relief, nerve entrapment and many more treatments for pain. Incorporating  Cranial/Structural Core Distortion Release techniques to initiate the unwinding of the core distortion pattern (a pattern in the body that cause pain) which facilitates the release of soft tissue.

Inflamation Reduced

Patricia has a unique touch and ability to bring alignment to the body. In just a few sessions she was able to relieve my discomfort. I also enjoy Patricia's additional touch when she designs a special formula of aromatherapy to help me relax or to reduce my inflamation. Together, massage, body alignment, aromatherapy and her words of wisdom bring me tremendous comfort always.  - Jennifer Naylor

Especially effective treatments

“I was treated for multiple musculoskeletal-skeletal injuries and cervical disc herniation in the neck after being rear-ended in February. I came in with extremely high levels of pain.......weekly treatments greatly lessened my neck and back pain and I would highly recommend Patti to anyone with pain in the neck, head, back, or hips, or muscle pain anywhere in the body. Her structural integration technique is especially effective!" - L. Thole

Cranial Structural Work

 

Advanced Osteopathic BodyWork

Advanced Osteopathic Bodywork’s intention is to re-establish the core midline — that through Trauma, stress, and events that seem out of our control disrupts our core patterns from which our body is built.  This core is subtle, but without its authentic integrity, our body fails to reach its’ full potential.  This assessment and focus are primary for the body to heal itself successfully. Although this work is subtle, it is truly the most powerful work one can receive.  It is not by force, but the power of energy that can realign and empower us.

This training/work is based on the teaching of Dr. Steven Weiss, D.O. and I am so very grateful to have had this training.  It has expanded my efficacy in so many ways.  Thank you, Dr. Weiss for your inspiration and knowledge.

The video below shows how  Advanced Cranial and Osteopathic Bodywork can heal TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury.
