Stress & Anxiety Relief with CranioSacral Therapy

How Big of a Problem is Stress and Anxiety?
You've most likely heard, read or experienced firsthand how stress and anxiety impacts the body. A quick Google search for "stress and anxiety 2018" results in 1,450,000 news reports. Clearly this is an issue that has a huge effect on all ages. A Mayo Clinic article outlines how stress alone has the effects listed below. A few effects of anxiety are also listed below from another Mayo Clinic article.

Why CranioSacral Therapy?​
One of the best parts of my job as a bodyworker is seeing the before and after effects of a CranioSacral Therapy session on a clients face. It's amazing how such a gentle technique normalizes the central nervous system. A stressed out client may feel more relaxed so they can approach their job, family and life with more ease. A very lethargic client may feel more energized and better equipped to handle the everyday tasks required of them. (Visit the Upledger FAQ website page to learn more.) One of these days, I may have to start taking before and after photos (with my clients permission) and share them on my website. It's that noticeable!
