As I settle into the waiting for my own baby to arrive I wanted to spend some time over the next few weeks talking about CFT. Craniosacral fascial release therapy has been life changing for so many families I’ve had the honor of working with, and I’ve seen it in my own family.
I learned of CFT several years ago when I was planning on taking the training. Fast forward a few years and we needs body work for my daughter as we prepared her for an ALF palate expander. I saw first had the release of tension in so many areas I had no idea her body had. As I’ve been able to work on her myself, I see the continued results of occasional check ins and resets with CFT. It’s really life changing.
We all have tension, and in short (very short) CFT releases/unwinds/loosens the facia that covers our bodies head to toe to for allow healing, reduction of pain, growth, and expansion. Surprisingly almost every baby I see is born with tension, the birth journey, even when straightforward with no complications causes tension. It can come from maternal stress in utero or just the passage through the birth canal. It’s that simple. As young kids and adults we fall, we get stressed, we have poor posture, we have injuries, our jobs are demanding, the list goes on, but so much can cause tension in our bodies. And through my work as a CFT I’ve been able to watch that unwind and release for babies, kids and adults.
I’ve always been in touch with body work and am a Gillespie trained CFT serving families whatever capacity they need. As is fitting, we’ll start at the beginning. Next time, I’ll dive into CFT for babies annd different issues that can be worked on annd supported. Check out my website for a bit more info.
