Cranial bones can compress cranial nerves, contributing to unequal sensory and motor responses
Head can be compressed into vagal nerve exit site which can challenge modulation and regulation
Sphenoid / temporal bones can be compressed into inner ear structure which can interfere with bilateral auditory and vestibular processing
Face bone can impinge nerves where hard and soft palatte meet creating oral motor challenges
Residual torticollis can interfere in coordination of eyes/hands/legs
Tight and restricted meninges can prevent primitive spinal reflexes from integrating
Fascia surrounding organs and blood vessel masses can be tight or twisted which keeps the autonomics in a state of fight / flight
Myofascial restrictions through the rib cage and diaphragm can interfere with optimal breathing, hindering the parasympathetic recovery from alarming or alerting stimuli
Traumatic events such as birthing struggles, medical procedures or surgeries, physical or emotional traumas, and even biological traumas can keep all the nervous systems in a vasoconstricted state
Injured or damaged sensory receptors, like C fibers in the skin, create over reactions to input or even a pain response
Craniosacral therapy (mixed with other bodywork methods) has been shown to help all these issues that are common to sensory processing difficulties. Sensory wellness occurs when sensory systems are free of structural and inflammatory restrictions at receptors sites and along nerve pathways. In addition, fascia and connective tissues that surround and suspend body structures are now recogized as a sensory organ. Tight, compressed, torqued, and restricted fascia can be a background processing problem in sensory challenges. Craniosacral therapy is currently the least invasive manual therapy method that does not set off sympathetic nervous system alarms, promoting getting into and staying in a parasympathetic state.
