Brain therapy, which was developed by Dr. Barry Gillespie, is the integration of craniosacral, fascial,
and TMJ-dental bodywork that produces a powerful therapeutic effect for children and adults.
The brain has an inherent cyclical motion; it expands and contracts like a breathing pulse during one's lifetime. This movement is a critical factor for normal brain function and well-being. Physical trauma can restrict this brain motion and create
toxins in the body. The resulting pressure can be the determining factor in directly causing headaches, asthma, earaches, hyperactivity, learning disorders, and many other chronic diseases.
Craniosacral treatment involves the gentle release of the soft tissue structures that surround the brain and attach to the sacrum. This therapy can help the body to release these soft tissues naturally without pain, drugs, or surgery to restore normal brain
motion and function.
The fascial aspect involves the connective tissue that connects one body structure to another, such as one muscle cell to another and one organ to another. Trauma can cause strain in this soft tissue system. Fascial strain can pull from the
trunk of the body through the neck and into the jaw and head. This soft tissue tightness can be the primary cause of headaches, neck aches, backaches, colic, scoliosis, throat conditions, asthma, and many other ailments. The overall release of fascial pressure can result in better
function and mobility, improvement in chronic conditions, and overall health and well-being.
