How Does Craniofascial Therapy Help? This gentle manual massage therapy uses slow pressure and stretch techniques to assess and release restrictions of connective tissue in the whole body, including the head. Also called fascia, connective tissue is distributed in particular ways right throughout the body. Connective tissue present in the sutures between the cranial bones allows for slight but definite mobility. It is the release of these abnormal tensions of connective tissues that treats the cause of symptoms, by a repositioning of distorted cranial structures, restoring normal balanced tension to the organs, nerves, blood vessels and other structures within. As fascia becomes restricted, the body loses suppleness and function in the affected structures. Cranial restrictions can directly cause symptoms and tend to persist without appropriate local and systemic treatment. Tension, pain, neck stiffness, lower backache and many syndromes involving the cranium, such as head pain, ear infections, voice and taste problems, vertigo, sinusitis, tinnitus, recurrent jaw/TMJ dysfunction etc are potentially amenable to successful treatment. craniofascial/pages/craniofascial.htm
