Melbourne Craniosacral Therapy

Melbourne Craniosacral Therapy Annie McCasland-Pexton is a Registered Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapist (RCST). Sessions typically last for 30-45 minutes.

She completed a 2 year Diploma in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy with Ged Sumner of Body Intelligence Training in Melbourne in 2011. She has also attended postgraduate courses in treating Pregnant Women, Mothers, Babies & Children; and in the Vagus Nerve, which is of particular importance for people with Autism Spectrum Disorders, digestive issues and nervous system related conditions. Craniosacr

al therapy is a gentle, yet highly effective form of bodywork that originally developed out of osteopathic medicine in the USA over 100 years ago and is now practiced by craniosacral therapists and cranial osteopaths around the world. Clients lay fully clothed on a massage table while the craniosacral therapists uses a light touch, usually at the feet, head, or sacrum. The treatment session may also include work with other areas of the body such as the joints, diaphragm or face. Clients usually experience a deep relaxation during and after the sessions, they will often have improved sleep and energy levels after being treated. The treatment works on many levels - muscle tension eases, spine and joint alignment improves, the nervous system, immune system and endocrine (hormone) systems self-regulate, and settle down if they have been overactive, or awaken if they have been dormant. Digestion and elimination functions are improved by encouraging increased movement and blood flow to the abdominal organs. Craniosacral therapy is particularly well suited for meeting physical and emotional trauma that is stored in the body. The therapy creates a safe place for recovery to occur, sometimes during the session, or other times setting in motion a journey of recovery that can occur over a course of sessions and between sessions.

Have you tried anything to stimulate your vagus nerve? Personally I use an Apollo Neuro device, a Pulsetto and a tens machine, and craniosacral therapy of course.

The next big advance in treating diseases like rheumatoid arthritis could be tiny pulses of electricity delivered to the vagus nerve.

Great reminders.

Thanks to the easing of restrictions from tomorrow night I can now take bookings for appointments from Friday onwards. I'm also now fully vaccinated, which reduces the risk for you and me :-) Sessions will still be fully masked and in a covid-safe environment. I'm only seeing 2 people/day so get in quick! Please check regularly to make sure you haven't been to any exposure sites and of course get tested if you are even slightly unwell. I can't wait to get back to work! xx Annie

I mentioned the benefits of not using soap and shampoo in my book (published in 2017) nice to see the idea getting picked up more widely. I think a lot of us having been bathing less this year anyway... how about you?

We've all been treating personal hygiene differently during quarantine. Writer James Hamblin discusses breaking the rules around cleanliness.
