Power Within Chiropractic is welcoming a new therapist…

 Wendy Human 

 Hi, my name is Wendy Human, I am a CranioSacral Therapist trained through the Upldeger Institute.  I became interested in CST to get relief from migraines, the kind of migraines that are excruciating and debilitating and as a mother of four. A good friend convinced me to try a difference form of treatment…I can’t thank her enough for leading me to CranioSacral Therapy! CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle treatment approach that works with the natural self correcting mechanism of the body and the craniosacral system (the membranes and fluids that surround the brain and spinal cord) to detect and release restrictions in mobility and enhance function.  The rhythmic movement of the craniosacral system can be palpated and used to determine the core issues so that treatment can focus on the cause rather than the symptoms.  “CST is a gentle hands on method of enhancing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, blood and lymph” ~by Dr. John Upledger.  And thus it facilitates the bodies’ natural healing. Our system is similar to that of an onion with many layers and those layers can be filled with many restrictions throughout the entire system.  Or you could think of our system as a fine, delicate, gold chain and whenever there is physical or emotional trauma in the body it creates a knot.  The hands of a practitioner are simply a facilitator to the body which allows for those restrictions (knots) to resolve which then begins the healing process. CST has done wonders for me and my family.  Through CST my migraines are less in intensity, in length and can be managed with ibuprofen vs. prescription drugs.  Many other friends and colleagues have found relief from chronic pain, dyslexia, colic in infants, TMJ syndrome, headaches, as well as an increase in memory/concentration and many other dysfunctions. A personal testaments to the powers of CST is when I was on the way home with my daughter from her CST appointment (she was 7 at the time), she said “Mom I don’t feel angry anymore” – I’ve been convinced every since.  To have someone at that age immediately recognize and acknowledge the difference in how they felt was profound to me. Since attending my first CST training I have met many wonderful people and have learned of several alternative resources for restoring and retaining health and wellness.  My goal is to help YOU find whatever that source may be.  My future plans are to continue this journey of healing by attending more classes and workshops through the Upledger Institute which may also include equine, pediatrics and obstetrics.  Additional information about CranioSacral Therapy may be found at www.upledger.com or by contacting me at Power Within Chiropractic. I would be delighted to have the opportunity to meet you and help guide you to better living. Joining you on your journey,~Wendy Human
