I am excited to be offering a special Pelvis and Lumbar Spine treatment. Using Myofascial Mobilization, we will tackle hip, knee and lower back pain. Improving your overall mobility!

Have you heard of a tensegrity structure?

Imagine a system of components that do not touch directly but are held together through a network of compression and tension strings or tendons. Perfect harmony is required to achieve system balance. Our entire body acts much like these tensegrity structures.

Our pelvis is the “Keystone”. Meaning that it is arguably the most important component to balance the system.

Knowing this we can become curious about the true cause of our knee and foot pain, plantar fasciitis, shoulder and neck pain and even head aches to name a few. Poor pelvis alignment radiates throughout the body.

STRESS - Don’t just rub it in.

Imagine a shaggy carpet and you spill a drink on it. In this example your body is the shaggy carpet and the drink is the stressor. You could just rub the split drink into the carpet, it will dry and maybe you don’t see it as much but the stain is still there.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) helps to lift and remove the stain.

Let’s lift those stains together.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy & The Stress Response

This technique can be very effective at treating overwhelming feelings, anxiety, panic and trouble sleeping.

These symptoms are associated with the Sympathetic Nervous System, the 'fight or flight' response. An extremely stressful experience or exposure to stress over a long period of time can cause us to get stuck in that state. Once trapped in that cycle it can be tricky to release.

Let me explain this more. Imagine your nervous system has a gas and brake pedal.

1. The Sympathetic Nervous System (Fight or Flight) is the gas pedal
2. The Parasympathetic System (Rest and Digest) is the brake pedal

We need both to drive. If we only use our gas pedal then we are going to crash. If we only use our brake we aren’t going to go anywhere. We need both to function. Same goes with our nervous system.

If we are using to much gas or to much brake our body will respond with issues like trouble sleeping, poor digestion, pain or fatigue, depression, anxiety or panic.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) helps the body regulate the gas and brake pedal so they can function optimally together.

3 ways that Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) can help in Concussion Recovery.

1. BCST promotes circulation of cerebral spinal fluid, this is the fluid that baths the brain and spinal cord. It circulates nutrients and chemicals filtered from the blood and removes waste products from the brain.

2. Surrounding the brain there are 3 membranous layers, the dura, arachnoid and pia mater. When there is impact to these membranous layers, they can become compromised. BCST works to promote health and restore mobility in these layers.

3. When there is trauma, like an impact to the nervous system it can cause dysregulation. Regulation of the nervous system is important because both the parasympathetic (rest & digest) and the sympathetic system (arousal, fight or flight) are needed for optimal function. BCST helps the body regulate.
