What is CranioSomatics?
CranioSomatic is a holistic approach to treating common chronic and painful condition involving muscles and joints, with long lasting effects. Cranio refers to the head and somatic refers to the muscles in the body. CranioSomatic Therapy focuses on unwinding and rebalancing the body by releasing obstruction in the cranium with gentle range of motion of the bones within the skull region. This therapy rebalances the spine and pelvis, helping to boost the immune system and provide complete body rehabilitation.
CranioSomatic therapy focuses on improving movement in fascia, muscles and tendons, treating the entire body, from the top of your head to the tip of your toes. It is outcome-oriented, results that are seen and felt immediately following treatment. The primary objective is to lessen the pain and limitation in muscles and joints movement.
CranioSomatic uses several techniques before and after treatment to evaluate effectiveness, such as applied kinesiology (manual muscle testing, therapy localization and challenge). Your increased range of motion, improved performance and reduction in pain are immediate and long lasting. It does not matter if you are an athlete or someone simply going about your daily activities, you will experience relief.
Differences Between CranioSomatic Therapy and Craniosacral Therapy:
First, CranioSomatic therapy is a structural approach. The treatment focus is on improving movement in fascia, muscles and tendons, from the top of your head to your toes.
Second, CranioSomatic therapy is outcome-oriented. The primary objective is to relieve the pain and limitations you experience when your joints and muscles are restricted or do not function comfortably. Results that patients can see and feel very soon after treatment are always the goal.
Third, CranioSomatic evaluations include the use of several techniques from Applied Kinesiology (manual muscle testing, therapy localization and challenge) for both pre-treatment evaluation and confirmation of results.
Finally, the benefits are usually long-lasting. Improvements typically result in increased range of motion, improved performance, and a reduction in pain and other symptoms, whether you are a competitive athlete or simply going about your typical work and recreational activities.
Who can benefit?
- Anyone who has aches and pains in muscles or joints
- Individuals suffering headaches or TMJ pain
- Due to the gentle nature of the alignment, any ages can benefit.
- Any Athlete seeking to improve their performance or extend their range of motion.
- Children with functional problems or development delays
To sum up, CranioSomatic Therapy is composed of several innovative and highly effective treatment procedures that can be used individually or in combination.
