Desperate parents turn to craniosacral therapy to help newborns with colic, but now it is treating other problems such as stress, dementia and unresolved pain. MAXINE GORDON finds out more.
I’d been feeling under the weather, with general aches and pains and was just getting over a stomach virus that had laid me low.
So when I took to the couch and therapist Sylvia Schroer asked me to focus on a part of my body that felt “healthy”, it took me a moment to locate the optimum spot.
For patients unable to find a trouble-free area, Sylvia said imagining a relaxing scene, such a perfect blue sky or lying in the sun, worked just as well.
I am having my first session of craniosacral therapy, in a treatment room at Miller’s Yard, off Gillygate, in York. Sylvia is one of only three such therapists in North Yorkshire.
She has set up Re-Connect To Health, running clinics in York, Harrogate and Easingwold alongside fellow practitioner Paul Arif Hewitt.
You might have heard of craniosacral therapy before – it’s most well known use to date is for treating babies with colic.
But Sylvia and Paul are keen to spread the word that the therapy is useful in many different conditions.
