Craniosacral Therapy and Working with the Brain

Craniosacral Therapy is a type of light touch therapy that helps to nourish the brain and the spinal system.  By using the cranial bones as fulcrums, and gently helping the fluids to balance and restore, clients often walk away after a session feeling deeply relaxed.

Massage in Naples: Thoughts for the Day

Massage in Naples: Thoughts for the Day

Change the Way You Look at Things

Sometimes we get caught in the same trap.  We continue to make the same bad choice over and over.  So why do we do that?  Are we unconscious?  Do we blame others?

When your life seems stressful, it is a smart time to slow down, quiet your mind and be curious about your participation in relationships.  It is a great time and opportunity to acknowledge the truth of what is and to wonder how to live without the same dynamic.  Be patience, invite in other perspectives and truly listen.

It is in our relaxation and emptiness that creativity can take hold.

Coming inward and just Being...  in a world.  nothing is better than that!

Warmly,

Sharon Hartnett

Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy

Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy has been shown to be very helpful in working with children who have sensory processing challenges. About 5-10% of children have been noted to need some type of extra support involvement due to sensory issues. 

Our senses give us information that help us to relate to ourselves and others. Every moment we are constantly interacting with someone or something.  A healthy integrated sensory system helps us to survive and to move through the world with more ease.  The earlier children get the help they need, the less they have to struggle.  We all want our children to thrive and be happy.  When your child receives the inner work that can help integrate the nervous system, it is then possible to navigate through life easier.

If your child is finding it difficult to integrate sensory information to move forward, you may want to consider Craniosacral Therapy.  The focus of Craniosacral Therapy is to support, balance and enhance  the functioning of the nervous system. Through this light touch modality, the body seems to self-regulate and self-organize more efficiently.

For more information on helping children with Sensory Processing Disorders, I'd like to recommend the book, "the Out-of-Sync Child, written by Carol STock Kranowitz, M.A.  She offers an educational approach on how to identify and distinguish integration difficulties.  She also provides healthy responses in how to support your child to be the best they can be.

For a Craniosacral Therapist in your area, look at the Upledger Institute link.  If you would like someone specifically trained to work with children, it will be noted that the therapist has trained in Pediatric Craniosacral Therapy.

Structural Integration Massage in Naples

What is Structural Integration Therapy?

Dr. Ida Rolf is the developer of the 10 series of Structural Integration.  She found that by working with the fascia's network of interconnected tissue that she could unwind and lengthen the body and reach down into the core to release deep patterns of dysfunction.  The focus with Structural Integration is to align the body with gravity to create more ease in movement and to revitalize the body.  By working with form, the function of each aspect of the body is enhanced.  There is nothing more wonderful than getting off the table with so much more freedom, balance and energy in oneself.

Many people have heard that "rolfing" is uncomfortable.  The original Rolfers were taught by Dr. Ida Rolf and the bodywork was famed as being rather painful.  Since that time, many schools have opened their doors, and most have evolved to a place of listening to the body and respecting defense systems that activate when too much pressure or manipulation is done.  With that said, when the fascia has shortened, twisted or rotated over the many years,  most likely the reorganization of the tissues will bring a client into uncomfortable sensations.  An experienced Structural Integration Therapist will work with the client at whatever level is suitable to the person on the table.  If change is created too quickly, it does not integrate longterm as well.  The client needs to be able to relax and feel deeply for optimal benefits.

Most Structural Integration Sessions last anywhere between 1 1/2-2 hours.  In most cases, the client is dressed in his/her underwear so he/she can move easily.  It is recommended to do the 10 series to receive the best advantages of this type of massage work.  However, it is possible to try a session to see if this type of bodywork meets your specific needs.

Structural Integration is basically a therapeutic modality.  Its intention is to create a healthy web of connections in the 3 dimensional body with order and alignment in regards to gravity.  If you are interested in finding more about how to improve your posture and health, give Sharon Hartnett LMT, a call now for your free 15 minute phone consultation:  239 692-8486
