pain such as neck, back, pain and TMJ as well as<br />
for chronic headaches and migraines.<br />
● Both myself and all clients will be provided with Face Masks.<br />

Pain and stress caused by<br />
shortened Fascia<br />
Fascia (strong connective tissue) encases<br />
all our muscles, organs, brain and spinal<br />
cord. Whenever fascia shortens any place<br />
in the body, the entire network of fascia<br />
creates an increased tension affecting the<br />
functioning of our physical body as well as<br />
our organs, our brain and spinal cord.<br />
Our body is the history of every major<br />
trauma we have experienced physically<br />
and emotionally beginning with birth<br />
issues, falls, head trauma, car accidents,<br />
childhood abuse issues, death, divorce<br />
and other emotional issues. Our body tries<br />
to minimize each trauma by shortening<br />
fascia to isolate the energy coming into the<br />
body from that trauma. Shortened fascia<br />
results in pain, loss of mobility and range<br />
of motion, organs becoming less efficient<br />
and with parts of the brain and spinal cord<br />
becoming stressed.<br />
To keep the brain functioning, the body<br />
transfers some of your functional work play<br />
energy (7:00 AM-10:00 PM) to the brain<br />
resulting in less energy to make it through<br />
each day. As we age, the accumulation of<br />
all the tightened fascia, from every major<br />
trauma in life, begins to restrict every<br />
aspect of our body’s functions resulting<br />
in pain, loss of mobility, mis-functioning<br />
organs, loss of energy, as well as our brain<br />
losing some its sharpness.<br />
How Craniosacral<br />
Therapy Works<br />
The Craniosacral Therapist creates a safe<br />
place, with gentle holding techniques, that<br />
engages your body’s ability to self correct,<br />
reorganize and heal itself with the release<br />
of some of that tightened fascia during<br />
each session. As the Craniosacral Therapist<br />
engages your body, you will feel fascia releasing.<br />
As the fascia releases, pain begins to<br />
decrease, range of motion and mobility improve,<br />
organs begin functioning better and<br />
with less stress on the brain feels, it returns<br />
the energy it borrowed at the time of each<br />
trauma resulting in an immediate increase in<br />
your energy levels. Rarely does anyone leave<br />
from my first session not feeling better.<br />
Short Leg Syndrome<br />
Eighty-five percent of my clients have one<br />
of their legs pulled up 1/2 to 1 by shortened<br />
fascia. The tension from short leg syndrome<br />
on the sacrum (5 fused vertebrae<br />
at bottom of the spine) is transferred up<br />
Testimonials from Clients<br />
■ “On a recent vacation to Siesta Key, I<br />
re-injured my back. I found Terry online. I<br />
can say with complete joy that was the best<br />
decision I made in the history of my back<br />
pain. I have sought many modalities and<br />
visit a CST regularly and never have I had<br />
such a healing in my entire body.<br />
After 3 sessions, I made a 16-hour drive<br />
home with no pain or discomfort in my<br />
entire body. Unbelievable. My body has<br />
a sense of moving freely and that is completely<br />
new. I’m so grateful to Terry for his<br />
knowledge, for his sensitivity to my needs<br />
and his kind generosity in healing my body.<br />
I will see him when I return next year.”<br />
—Caroline M.<br />
■ “I am a snowbird who spends 7 months<br />
in Sarasota. I have had back problems for<br />
25 years. Terry’s techniques have led to a<br />
great deal of release and relief in areas that<br />
have been problematic. I have been seeing<br />
him over the years when my body says ”it’s<br />
time”. Usually after a few sessions, I can tell<br />
a huge difference.” —Lana S.<br />
■ “I was introduced to Terry and Craniosacral<br />
Therapy by a Neuromuscular<br />
massage therapist who thought I needed<br />
higher level of care. I found Terry to be<br />
IN CONSIDERATION OF COVID-19<br />
kind, empathetic and he genuinely seemed<br />
to take an interest in my challenges. I have<br />
a mild Chiari malformation (part of the<br />
brain protrudes and puts pressure on the<br />
spinal cord) I had been experiencing vertigo,<br />
extreme pain in my neck combined<br />
with a limited range of motion (I could not<br />
turn my neck right or left) I tried both traditional<br />
and holistic modalities including<br />
chiropractic and acupuncture with limited<br />
success. So I did not have lofty expectations<br />
(unrealistic) going into my first session, but<br />
was pleasantly surprised in the immediate<br />
difference I experienced in my entire body.<br />
There was less pain in my back and<br />
shoulders, but also in my diaphragm and<br />
rib cage area. I was able to breathe more<br />
deeply, felt more limber and overall more<br />
relaxed. With additional sessions, Terry<br />
was able to relieve the burning sensation<br />
in my shoulders that would radiate into<br />
my lower neck and down my arms which<br />
had been plaguing me for a long time and<br />
causing numbness in my extremities. I have<br />
been impressed by his intuitive nature and<br />
his ability to listen to my body and focus in<br />
on specific issues and pain points. The therapist<br />
who referred me to him was right…he<br />
is a gifted healer.” —Nicole M.<br />

● All clients will be questioned about self isolation and having<br />
followed safety precautions such wearing a face mask in public<br />
as well as being free of any symptoms.<br />
The physical stress in bodies caused by<br />
shortened fascia (connective tissue) shuts<br />
down energy flows to certain organs. Short<br />
leg syndrome by ½ to 1 in (where one leg is<br />
pulled up by shortened fascia) shuts down<br />
energy flow to the spleen (an important part of<br />
your immune system) and the small and large<br />
intestine. With the release of that shortened<br />
fascia, energy returns to these organs.<br />
the dural tube that encases the spinal cord<br />
into the lower and upper back, the neck,<br />
the cranium and the brain. Headaches, migraines,<br />
TMJ and neck problems can originate<br />
from the fascial stress in the sacrum.<br />
Releasing this sacral stress increases<br />
energy in the bladder, sex organs, kidneys<br />
and the chakras as well as releasing major<br />
stress in the upper part of the body.<br />
Cause of Shallow Breathing<br />
A great majority of the clients who come to<br />
me for various problems are also shallow<br />
breathers. Fascial stress in the diaphragm restricts<br />
the depth of breathing by restricting<br />
energy flow to the lungs, the pericardium<br />

B.A., B.ED., LMT #MA 6049. Terry has specialized in Craniosacral<br />
Therapy since 1994 when he began his training at the Upledger<br />
Institute. Described by his teachers, clients and colleagues<br />
as a “gifted healer”, Terry’s intuitive sense and healing energy<br />
provides immediate and lasting relief from injury, pain, mobility<br />
issues as well as dysfunctions of the body and the brain. Part<br />
of Terry’s ongoing education, he has completed 4 craniosacral<br />
brain and peripheral nervous system classes which<br />
enables him to work at<br />
a cellular level and with<br />
brain dysfunctions.<br />

and the heart. With the release of fascial<br />
diaphragm restriction, the client immediately<br />
starts breathing deeply and energy is<br />
restored to the pericardium and the heart.<br />
Shoulder blades that are cemented to<br />
the body also restricts how much the rib<br />
cage can open and thereby also restricting<br />
depth of breath. Without proper breathing,<br />
your cells do not get enough oxygen.<br />
Everyone, especially people suffering from<br />
bronchitis, asthma and COPD as well as<br />
shallow breathing can benefit when the<br />
fascial stress is released.<br />
Specialized Training<br />
to work with Brain<br />
Dysfunctions<br />
Just as the body physically gets stressed<br />
from physical and emotional trauma, the<br />
functioning of the brain is also affected<br />
by fascial stress. For our brains to remain<br />
healthy, we need dynamic production<br />
of craniosacral fluid which performs the<br />
important function of bringing nourishment<br />
to all the cells in the brain and spinal<br />
cord as well as cleansing all the metabolic<br />
wastes given off by those same cells.<br />
Once the craniosacral fluid cleanses these<br />
metabolic wastes, efficient drainage of these<br />
metabolic wastes into the lymph system is<br />
absolutely necessary. Research has shown,<br />
that at night, craniosacral fluid cleanses amyloid<br />
plaques from the brain. If the drainage<br />
is inefficient, then the brain is being bathed<br />
in a toxic slurry. How does 15 or 20 years<br />
of your brain being bathed in a toxic slurry<br />
affect you: senile dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s<br />
and other brain dysfunctions?<br />
A Craniosacral Therapist, who has<br />
received training in working with the<br />
brain, can reverse that stress on the brain<br />
that eventually can result in those brain<br />
dysfunctions. As we all know, the proper<br />
functioning of the body is dependent on a<br />
healthy functioning brain.<br />
