Cranial Sacral

The intent of performing cranial works is to facilitate a Release.  The application of this therapy is manifested in the thechnique to follow the motion of the cranial bones,  restrictions will release as the therapist provides the ‘Still Point’ around or over which a constantly tense membrane operates.  Release is when a barrier dissolves and the bone is able to resume its natural movement pattern, the patient’s breathing becoming slower or deeper, an emotional release such as weeping possibly occurs.

Gua Sha / Kerik

Gua Sha in Chinese means ” to scrape away the pain ” which has similar meaning in Indonesian ‘Kerik’ ( to scrape ).  Catching a cold or fever in Indonesian culture is often referred as ‘ to catch wind’ so the scraping is to push away the wind.

Both lactic and uric acid can get trapped underneath the skin or within a bound up muscle due to the lack of drainage caused by the decreased blood flow. Raising sha removes blood stagnation considered pathogenic in traditional East Asian medicine. Modern research shows the transitory therapeutic petechiae produce an anti inflammatory and immune protective effect that persists for days following a single Gua sha treatment accounting for the immediate relief that patients feel from pain, stiffness, etc.

Gua Sha / Kerik involves repeated pressured strokes over lubricated skin with a smooth- edge, commonly a jade, water buffalo horn, ceramic or simply a well worn coin.  The scrapes causes extravasation of blood from the peripheral capillaries and may result in sub-cutaneous blemishing, which usually takes 2 – 4 days to fade.  Sha / Kerik marks does not represent capillary rupture as in bruising.
