your health Craniosacral Therapy Can Be Life Changing CST treats the whole body physically, physiologically, mentally, emotionally and energetically Clients come to me because they are in physical pain such as neck, back, pain and TMJ as well as for chronic headaches and migraines. Pain and stress caused by shortened Fascia Fascia (strong connective tissue) encases all our muscles, organs, brain and spinal cord. Whenever fascia shortens any place in the body, the entire network of fascia creates an increased tension affecting the functioning of our physical body as well as our organs, our brain and spinal cord. Our body is the history of every major trauma we have experienced physically and emotionally beginning with birth issues, falls, head trauma, car accidents, childhood abuse issues, death, divorce and other emotional issues. Our body tries to minimize each trauma by shortening fascia to isolate the energy coming into the body from that trauma. Shortened fascia results in pain, loss of mobility and range of motion, organs becoming less efficient and with parts of the brain and spinal cord becoming stressed. To keep the brain functioning, the body transfers some of your functional work play energy (7:00 AM-10:00 PM) to the brain resulting in less energy to make it through each day. As we age, the accumulation of all the tightened fascia, from every major trauma in life, begins to restrict every aspect of our body’s functions resulting in pain, loss of mobility, mis-functioning organs, loss of energy, as well as our brain losing some its sharpness. How Craniosacral Therapy Works The Craniosacral Therapist creates a safe place, with gentle holding techniques, that engages your body’s ability to self correct, reorganize and heal itself with the release of some of that tightened fascia during each session. As the Craniosacral Therapist engages your body, you will feel fascia releasing. As the fascia releases, pain begins to decrease, range of motion and mobility improve, organs begin functioning better and with less stress on the brain feels, it returns the energy it borrowed at the time of each trauma resulting in an immediate increase in your energy levels. Rarely does anyone leave from my first session not feeling better. Short Leg Syndrome Eighty-five percent of my clients have one of their legs pulled up 1/2 to 1 by shortened fascia. The tension from short leg syndrome on the sacrum (5 fused vertebrae at bottom of the spine) is transferred up Testimonials from Clients ■ “On a recent vacation to Siesta Key, I re-injured my back. I found Terry online. I can say with complete joy that was the best decision I made in the history of my back pain. I have sought many modalities and visit a CST regularly and never have I had such a healing in my entire body. After 3 sessions, I made a 16-hour drive home with no pain or discomfort in my entire body. Unbelievable. My body has a sense of moving freely and that is completely new. I’m so grateful to Terry for his knowledge, for his sensitivity to my needs and his kind generosity in healing my body. I will see him when I return next year.” —Caroline M. ■ “I am a snowbird who spends 7 months in Sarasota. I have had back problems for 25 years. Terry’s techniques have led to a great deal of release and relief in areas that have been problematic. I have been seeing him over the years when my body says ”it’s time”. Usually after a few sessions, I can tell a huge difference.” —Lana S. ■ “I was introduced to Terry and Craniosacral Therapy by a Neuromuscular massage therapist who thought I needed higher level of care. I found Terry to be kind, empathetic and he genuinely seemed to take an interest in my challenges. I have a mild Chiari malformation (part of the brain protrudes and puts pressure on the spinal cord) I had been experiencing vertigo, extreme pain in my neck combined with a limited range of motion (I could not turn my neck right or left) I tried both traditional and holistic modalities including chiropractic and acupuncture with limited success. So I did not have lofty expectations (unrealistic) going into my first session, but was pleasantly surprised in the immediate difference I experienced in my entire body. There was less pain in my back and shoulders, but also in my diaphragm and rib cage area. I was able to breathe more deeply, felt more limber and overall more relaxed. With additional sessions, Terry was able to relieve the burning sensation in my shoulders that would radiate into my lower neck and down my arms which had been plaguing me for a long time and causing numbness in my extremities. I have been impressed by his intuitive nature and his ability to listen to my body and focus in on specific issues and pain points. The therapist who referred me to him was right…he is a gifted healer.” —Nicole M. the dural tube that encases the spinal cord into the lower and upper back, the neck, the cranium and the brain. Headaches, migraines, TMJ and neck problems can originate from the fascial stress in the sacrum. Releasing this sacral stress increases energy in the bladder, sex organs, kidneys and the chakras as well as releasing major stress in the upper part of the body. Cause of Shallow Breathing A great majority of the clients who come to me for various problems are also shallow breathers. Fascial stress in the diaphragm restricts the depth of breathing by restricting energy flow to the lungs, the pericardium ■ Chronic Pain: Sciatic, Back, Neck and TMJ advanced craniosacral therapy PAID ADVERTORIAL The physical stress in bodies caused by shortened fascia (connective tissue) shuts down energy flows to certain organs. Short leg syndrome by ½ to 1 in (where one leg is pulled up by shortened fascia) shuts down energy flow to the spleen (an important part of your immune system) and the small and large intestine. With the release of that shortened fascia, energy returns to these organs. ■ Migraines, Foggy Brain and Lack of Concentration ■ Sight and Eye Problems ■ Asthma, Bronchitis, COPD Terrence Grywinski of Advanced Craniosacral Therapy, B.A., B.ED., LMT #MA 6049 SOURCE: ■ Terrence Grywinski of Advanced Craniosacral Therapy, B.A., B.ED., LMT #MA 6049. Terry has specialized in Craniosacral Therapy since 1994 when he began his training at the Upledger Institute. Described by his teachers, clients and colleagues as a “gifted healer”, Terry’s intuitive sense and healing energy provides immediate and lasting relief from injury, pain, mobility issues as well as dysfunctions of the body and the brain. Part of Terry’s ongoing education, he has completed 4 craniosacral brain and peripheral nervous system classes which enables him to work at a cellular level and with brain dysfunctions.

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