Hello everyone,
As many of you may already know, my work permit has been refused for a reason that is a bit illogical. I don’t know exactly yet where my next work will be but I’m resting and recharging my batteries now in France.
I’ll keep you posted about my next steps that it is still in something to discover for me.
I have all the experiences got with all the encounters in my heart and mind 💜
I hope you had a good celebration with your surroundings and I’m sending all some hugs,
With love,
Maëla Gasiglia

Craniosacral Mechanism – What It Is and How It Works💆‍♀️
In osteopathy, the craniosacral mechanism refers to the subtle, natural movements that happen between your skull (cranium) and your tailbone (sacrum), as well as the gentle rhythm of the fluid that surrounds and protects your brain and spinal cord.🧠💧

Think of it as your body’s quiet “breathing” that isn’t tied to your lungs or heart — a slow, gentle pulse that helps keep your nervous system nourished and balanced. 🌊

It involves:
💀 Your skull bones – which, although firmly joined, have tiny natural movements.
🥥 The membranes – thin, protective layers inside your head and spine that hold the brain and spinal cord.
🫟 Cerebrospinal fluid – a clear fluid that cushions your brain and spinal cord and carries nutrients.
🫴🏼 The sacrum – the bone at the base of your spine that connects to this system.

Osteopathic manual therapists who practice cranial or craniosacral techniques are trained to feel this delicate rhythm with their hands. If it’s restricted or “out of balance,” it can be a sign of strain or tension in the body. Through gentle adjustments — often so light it feels like just resting the hands — the osteopath works to restore ease and balance in the system, supporting the body’s own healing and calming responses.

In everyday terms:
It’s like tuning a very quiet, slow-moving inner wave that helps your brain, spine, and body communicate and work together.

🌟 Discover the 4 Principles of Osteopathy!

1️⃣ The Body is a Unit: Every part of the body is interconnected. When one area is affected, others can be influenced too. Osteopathy treats the whole person!

2️⃣ Structure & Function are Interrelated: Our body’s structure affects its function. Maintaining proper alignment is key to optimal health!

3️⃣ The Body has Self-Healing Mechanisms: The body is naturally equipped to heal itself. Osteopathy supports and enhances these self-healing processes.

4️⃣ Rational Treatment is Based on Understanding: Effective treatment stems from a thorough understanding of these principles. Knowledge guides our holistic approach to health and wellness.

💪✨ Embrace a healthier you with osteopathy!

You may wonder "How does a first osteopathy session with her go ?" 🧐

- I start by observing your movements as soon as I see you for the first time! Observing and listening carefully is important to understand your concerns and identify areas of limited mobility. 👁️

- I'll ask you several questions to understand your medical history and pinpoint your symptoms for customized treatment. 💬

- If necessary, I'll conduct medical examinations to determine if a reorientation is needed, followed by assessing your posture and mobility.🩺

- Then, I'll assess your joints, muscles, ligaments, fascias around nerves, viscera, and craniosacral system with my hands.👐🏼

- I provide a unique and specific osteopathic treatment tailored to your needs using various hands-on techniques targeting different layers of tissue. 🦴

Finally, I'll explain the treatment provided, offer personalized advice, and arrange a follow-up if needed. 👭

I work with all types of profiles, from babies to the elderly! ☺️
