CranioSacral Therapy - Focus On Health can Help


What is CranioSacral Therapy in Orange County?

CranioSacral Therapy involves hands-on physical therapy that targets the skull, sutures, spine, Dura Mater, and the connective tissue known as fascia. The brain and spinal cord, which constitute the central nervous system, significantly influence the body’s ability to function effectively. When injuries, surgeries, or traumas occur, restrictions can arise.

Conventional diagnostic imaging often fails to identify these lesions or restrictions; nevertheless, patients frequently experience obvious pain and dysfunction. As a result, many patients navigate the healthcare system seeking solutions without success. Fortunately, Focus On Health stands out as a leader in CranioSacral Therapy in Orange County, ready to help.

Our professionals palpate the CranioSacral System to determine the next steps in treatment that will promote your recovery. CranioSacral Therapy employs a gentle and subtle approach. During the process, their hands are used to assess the CranioSacral System and measure cranial motion. They perform gentle hand palpation to evaluate the quality and amplitude of movement.

Following this assessment, the professional employs the same delicate touch to release any restrictions, avoiding the application of excessive pressure or manipulation. By balancing the CranioSacral System, we enhance the function of the central nervous system.

Consequently, patients experience alleviated discomfort and improved well-being. CranioSacral Therapy fosters your body’s natural healing processes, and we effectively use it for a wide range of health conditions, consistently achieving great results.

Overall, CranioSacral Therapy creates a conducive environment for regaining your health.


Development of CranioSacral Therapy in Orange County

William Sutherland, an Osteopath, identified that as the brain grows, the skull retains its flexibility. In the 1900s, doctors assumed that sutures between cranial bones fused and became immobile. However, Sutherland discovered that the cranial bones actually move in a rhythmic motion through the sutures. Therefore, he concluded that the fusion of the cranial bones does not occur.

John E. Upledger, another Osteopath, built on this foundation by pioneering and developing CranioSacral Therapy. After completing his scientific studies at Michigan State University, he became a clinical researcher and Professor of Biomechanics. In the 1980s, Dr. Upledger started teaching these therapeutic skills to healthcare professionals, further expanding his research throughout his career.

His contributions included establishing a clinical institute alongside a teaching and research organization, leaving a lasting legacy in the field.

Meanwhile, the staff at Focus On Health have continued to refine their CranioSacral Therapy skills over the years.

For decades, the clinicians at Focus On Health have practiced this therapy in Orange County, becoming experts through both application and study. For 37 years, they have provided CranioSacral Therapy to patients and consistently achieved great results.
