The consummation of a healthy pregnancy is probably one of the most thrilling moments in the life of a couple. This is the time when you are able to hold your newborn baby for the first time. Unfortunately, for many couples, this milestone does not come easily. For couples for whom the experience of pregnancy and conception has become a long and arduous and even impossible affair, Cranial Sacral Therapy can play a big role in helping them realize their dream.
Fertility issues can have a number of potential causes, and in each instance, there have been couples who have tried Craniosacral Therapy (CST) who were able to complement and improve their fertility process. This can apply to couples who are undergoing a medical fertility program, and for couples who have opted to try other treatment modalities.
How does Craniosacral Therapy Work?
Craniosacral Therapy works by releasing physical tensions and stresses as well as lesions in the fascia (a layer of tissue) that wraps our nervous system and all our organs. These tensions can weaken the function of the nerves – which are the primary pathways where information is passed all over the body. The hormonal system, which is responsible for the maintenance and timing of a pregnancy, can also be affected by these fascial restrictions. Tensions can decrease the function of the womb and internal organs affecting the body’s ability to adapt or heal to the changes that happen during pregnancy as fascia can also enwrap these parts of the body.

Because of inflammation, surgery, or illness, fascia can become stressed. This is the body’s reaction in order to shield itself from further injury.
CST is a gentle and calm procedure; it boosts the ability of your body to function properly, greatly reducing the fascial layer tensions within. It also restores balance to your nervous and hormonal systems allowing them to optimally function and enhances blood circulation resulting in stronger and more efficient organ function, as more oxygen is able to reach them. This increases increase your energy, reducing your stress levels even further and accelerating your body’s ability to repair and heal itself.
CranioSacral Therapy promotes the freedom and mobility of your internal organs to adjust to the needs of the body during pregnancy. Combine all of these benefits together, and the likelihood of you conceiving and reaching full term tremendously rises. Treatment can be in lieu or in conjunction with your chosen fertility program.
