Structural Cranial Balancing (SCB)


Long term stress causes imbalances, which create a domino effect from muscle and organ tension to posture changes. These can be seen down the road as a forward neck and shoulder posture from slouching, as one example.

The pictures in the link show other examples of mid and lower body imbalances. Also, click this link for a list of many conditions helped by Structural Cranial Balancing .

Many medical conditions add stress to the body such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fybromyalgia, scoliosis, arthritis, herniated or degenerative disc  disease, or TMJ dysfunction. Internal adhesions may develop from an auto accident, surgery, or other trauma.

Stress may be physical, emotional or mental fatigue. Depression and lack of energy may accompany many medical conditions.

Nerve tension from the cranium down through the spinal column can cause holding patterns, which effect your posture (structure) and create dysfunction. By working with the joints and soft tissue of the cranium or skull, a release of inflammation and nerve tension takes place. 

There is a relationship and a communication between the top and bottom of the spine (cranial and sacral). Three bones in the sacral area mirror the motion of three bones in the cranium.

Releasing stress in the cranium causes a balance in the sacral region and a release of the core structural imbalance restrictions.

It may take a few 90 minute sessions to get your body in balance, but the result is long lasting.  Each session is divided between work on the cranium and therapeutic massage for the compensating soft tissue.

A brief phone interview is needed to see if SCB is right for your or your loved ones.
