Massage in Naples


A Client's recent Question:

What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch massage approach that can support dramatic improvements in the quality of your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction. The intent of this form of massage is to listen to the Cranial Rhythm and help the nervous system to relax and self-correct. Because Craniosacral is so gentle, it may be used with infants, seniors, people of all ages.

Craniosacral Therapy as used at Lighten Therapies is based on the foundation of Dr. John Upledger's DO's work. Dr. John was a pioneer who brought this type of massage and manual therapy to a greater range of people who have studied and fine tuned their skills with various levels of training and experience. Check www.Upledger.com for a practitioner in your area.

Sports and Brain Trauma... Cranialsacral Therapy


Sports and Craniosacral Therapy

Many of the sports that our kids are playing involve direct contact hits to the head. It's important that as parents we realize that the  energy of that impact may possibly cause damage not only to the brain but  also indirectly the rest of the body. Recent Images have shown that professional athletes who have received recurring traumas to the head have experienced damage to the tissues and impairment in the functioning of the brain.  Science and medicine is only just beginning to understand brain trauma and how it impacts a person's life.   But we do know that receptive trauma is dangerous. The brain is very complex and it's important to keep it healthy and balanced.


If your children are engaged in sports,  consider taking them to a Cranialsacral Therapist who quietly listens to the Brain and its Cerebral Spinal flow and knows how to direct the brain's cerebralspinal fluid and membranes into healthy motion and balance.  Cranialsacral Therapy can release stress, alleviate pain symptoms, increase mobility, and help the whole body to dialogue easier within itself and with its environment.  


An Advanced Therapist can follow the movement of the Cranial bones for symmetry, balance, strength and amplitude to monitor and bring the CS back into balance.  She can feel deeply into the body's fascial system and release restrictions to allow the spine to move more freely, positively bringing more vitality and health overall.


If your children are involved in sports, the best thing that you can do is stay proactive in their physical care to prevent longterm chronic physical issues.


For more information on this gentle but profound modality of bodywork, call Sharon Hartnett for more information.  Children receive a discount of $25.00 off each session.


Warmly,


Sharon Hartnett
