Craniosacral therapy and hormonal issues

Are you suffering from hormonal and or menstrual issues then please read on and discover how craniosacral therapy may be able to help you! 

The number of women seeing benefits from regular craniosacral sessions with hormonal issues has been astounding. It started off with women coming for menopausal symptoms; headaches, migraines, hot flushes, night sweats to name a few. Of these symptoms, that would be completely controlled for up to 4 weeks without taking any supplements or medications. Unfortunately, we couldn’t seem to extend this to much longer than 6 weeks before symptoms started to slowly re-emerge however if they came for a follow-up appointment approximately 4 weeks apart, they remained symptom-free.

Many regular clients who are perimenopausal say that they feel like it is a great investment in their health and well-being coming for regular treatments every 4 weeks. These women also state that they look forward to their treatments as it is their self-care, as they have been so busy looking after others for years and years and forgetting to look after themselves. Now they have reached perimenopause and their children have grown up and become independent, they are asking themselves what do they need and also doing a lot of personal growth and finding meaning in their lives again as they aren’t needed as much by their children. 

I have also noticed many women with menstrual cycle irregularities, period pain, PMS, heavy flow, hormonal acne and many more have reported that these have corrected after 1-3 sessions of craniosacral therapy. 

It was only recently that I put two and two together when contemplating how craniosacral therapy could achieve this, which can influence the HPA and HPO axis. To explain this further, our hypothalamus, pituitary, adrenal axis regulates our hypothalamus, pituitary, ovarian axis. Craniosacral Therapy is able to turn off the flight/fight response in the hypothalamus and the body is able to enter into a state of deep relaxation and healing where the body starts to self-heal by resetting the autonomic nervous system. Bringing our HPA and HPO axis’s back into balance and alignment.
