Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT), developed by Dr. Barry Gillespie, is gentle bodywork that combines elements of craniosacral therapy and myofascial release. CFT focuses on releasing tension within the craniosacral fascia system, which not only surrounds the brain and spinal cord but also extends throughout the entire body.
From the moment of birth, individuals can experience tightness that may have a lasting impact on their overall health. CFT uses specialised techniques to gently release accumulated fascial strain (tightness), promoting improved movement of the body and enhanced brain function. This therapeutic approach enables the fluid around the brain to flow more freely, nourishing the body and aiding in the elimination of toxins. Essentially, the body is empowered to heal itself.
Given its holistic and gentle nature, CFT is an excellent complement to breastfeeding support, or for babies experiencing difficulties with digestion, settling, or fussiness. By addressing and releasing tension in the body, CFT can enhance the effectiveness and duration of other treatments, such as chiropractic care or physiotherapy, resulting in more successful outcomes.
