Craniosacral Therapy Helps Infertility

June 19, 2019February 11, 2013 by Birth and Biodynamics

In 2011 the UK presented research on the effects of Craniosacral Therapy for infertility. The overall success rate coming out of the world’s best Fertility Clinics for IVF (In-Vetro Fertilization) success rate is only 30% for couples wishing to conceive. However, in clinical trials done by the Biodynamic Craniosacral Association in the UK indicated the woman who received regular Craniosacral sessions while undergoing this form of conception had a success rate of over 50%! Within that same study they also found that regular Craniosacral sessions can also improve your chances of conceiving naturally! In their study they took women who underwent up to 5 years of infertility, who began to seek out regular craniosacral therapy, and 2/3rds of those women were able to conceive naturally within 1 year of treatment.

These findings are even beyond the documented success rate of Acupuncture for infertility which is currently the number one alternative/complimentary treatment acknowledged by western medicine as a possible aid for conception in the US.

The Long Term Effects of Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a type of hands manual therapy that works directly with the nervous system. In the face of chronic pain, injury, trauma and illness the nerves in the body produce holding patterns within the muscle memory and fascia of our tissues. If left unresolved for too long these holding patterns in the fascia affect all other systems in the body. The founding father of Osteopathic Medicine A.T. Stills investigated extensively in his career, how all systems of the body are inter-related and that when one system is affected by strain it affects the others systems.

The Ordering Principles of the Field

For the first time, Tufts University biologists have reported that bioelectrical signals are necessary for normal head and facial formation in an all organisms (just in August 2012)! Watch this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ndFe5CaDTlI&feature=related. As Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapists, we have been aware of this information for quite some time due to the research and generous sharing of associate professor of anatomy and embryology at the University of Maasricht, Holland Jaap van der Wal: http://www.embryo.nl/ .

How this translates into Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy: This bioelectric field is what organizes form all together. As an embryo we begin our formation very similar as a mineral by growing out into the world in a somewhat disorganized fashion. Then magically a bioelectric streak of light appears, creating a mid-line and the whole growth pattern of the embryo changes into something more organized. It becomes more organized by initiating the movements of our growing patterns into spirals. The folding of the embryo is because of the energetic field coming through, (as you can physically see in the video posted above).

Craniosacral Therapy From a Different Perspective By Dominique Clothiaux RCST

Craniosacral Therapy first emerged out of the beginnings of Osteopathic Medicine between 1864 and the 1930’s. Since then it has been an unfolding journey into how to work with the living physiology and to unlock a person’s own natural healing process in the face of disease, trauma, illness and chronic pain. Dr A.T. Stills (the founder of Osteopathic medicine) who through the great trauma of watching his children die of spinal meningitis at the hands of allopathic medicine in 1864 questioned whether the human capacity to heal was locked inside the body rather then something that could be treated by medications. “In sickness has God left man in the world of guessing?” He decided “God is not a guessing God, but a God of truth. All his works, spiritual and material, are harmonious. His law of life is absolute. So wise a God places the remedy within the material house in which the spirit dwells.” He then set out to study the mechanism behind our tissues which became the ongoing study behind true Osteopathic philosophy and would be carried on by those interested in the living organism. He discovered that through the connective tissue layers all things were connected. Viscera (organs) are connected to Soma (connective tissue, joints, nerves, blood, lymphatic vessels and basically all tissues and fluids of the body as a whole). And that any dysfunction in either system would affect the other. He discovered that by palpating the body he could actually trace how the tissue was affected through his keen sense and understanding of the living body. He also came to understand that that there was a kind of life force that organized the body that was beyond what could be seen, measured or completely understood.
