Today I had an amazing day teaching our West of Scotland CranioSacral Therapy Study Group! 😁

Lots of fabulous therapists joined me at the clinic here in Prestwick from all over Scotland to hone their skills, help each other fathom tricky cases and review how we can work with the skull bones inside the mouth!

Lots of fun was had and all of us learned lots - there's always more to learn! 🥰

Everything is connected! Working on one diaphragm can have an impact on the whole body.

🧠 What is CranioSacral Therapy?

CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a hands-on therapy, where the touch is gentle, non-invasive and usually subtle. But do not be fooled! It is also a powerful treatment approach that affects the central nervous system to assist in improving function in the whole body.

We are aiming to treat the craniosacral system. This is the term Dr Upledger originally coined to describe the structures that produce and enable a rhythm he observed while assisting in a spinal surgery. (He was trying to hold a structure called the dural tube still while a colleague operated, but he couldn’t as it was moving all by itself!

He eventually called this rhythm the craniosacral rhythm and saw it as being created within the craniosacral system: structures that enable this are the meningeal membranes that surround and support the brain and spinal cord, the bones of the head to which they attach and the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects the brain – beautifully illustrated in the image here.

Ideally, this fascia and structures are all well aligned, the fluid can flow round the brain and spinal cord easily and the rest of the body is not having any less-than-optimal impact on this system (the fascia and nerves affect this system as much as they influence the rest of the body) but, life happens, from in utero onwards, and this system may not be as well aligned and flowing as it could be.

What an incredible year it has been practicing Craniosacral therapy in the wonderful therapeutic space in Oakfield Clinic. It’s been great to work as a practitioner here and get the support from the team here. This Saturday will be my last day of my journey here ( for now) as I will be moving to another amazing space not too far away.
If you haven’t already been to Oakfield clinic and you’re curious to experience Craniosacral therapy send me a message and we can see if you can get booked in for an initial ten step protocol.
I will be continuing my craniosacral practice at Space for Therapy on Mayfield Road. More about that coming soon! 🌟🪄💜

The knowledge and beauty of living systems amazes me. Our bodies have this knowledge and Craniosacral therapy seeks to acknowledge, respect and nurture this knowledge through gentle hands on touch and palpitations.
Sessions available this Saturday if you would like to experience the restorative power of Craniosacral therapy! DM for further details.

I have an amazing therapy space in Oakfield Chiropractic Clinic and recently gave Dr Angus Blance a couple of treatments. Here’s a bit of his assessment of Craniosacral therapy,
‘The benefit I felt for the rest of the week was profound; less stress, less tension and generally feeling so much better. If you want an hour of gentle but amazingly beneficial treatment, I encourage you to book to see Lorena, she’s very, very good!’
Thank you Dr Angus! 😊
