going cranio sacral

When my family physician didn’t help, I sought out a physiotherapist. My physician recommended one who wasn’t accepting new patients; I saw a different girl who worked at the same clinic. She did some TENS therapy for me and the appts were only 15 minutes. It did not help me at all. and I became depressed about my situation.

I didn’t understand how I was supposed to get through the searing pain of my exercises or life in general. Eventually, I lamented to a friend who was doing a lot of tumbling in his acting career. His mom was working reception in a different physiotherapy office and they fixed him up well. He said: “Go There!”.

I met a physiotherapist there who practiced Craniosacral Therapy. I’ll call her LaCamina. It really calmed down my frozen shoulder and trigeminal pain with CST. She kept recommending yin yoga for my myofascial pain; the more I practiced her exercises, the more gains I felt. I signed up for one of her classes.

It was -45°C and when I got to my first class I was so thankful I was the only one there. I had my physiotherapist all to myself for my first yoga class ever! How lucky I felt in life.

My next class there was three 80 year old ladies and I felt truly like I was one of them at roughly a third their age. Yoga became the only real relief from pain I had that I could do for myself so it became my life. I spent hours stretching my broken body, learning how to slowly relax into my pain, move through it, & stretch out my scarred fascia.

LaCamina was my physiotherapist for many years, and she was certainly the beginning glimmers of hope for physiotherapy in my life. I saw two other epic physiotherapists through the same clinic at different times that practiced Visceral Therapy. Experiencing that changed my life even further… Who needs a family physician when you can have an excellent physiotherapist who is trained in Visceral Therapy feel your insides and tell you what is specifically happening?? Game changing.
