Concussions & Post-Concussion Syndrome
Concussions & Post-Concussion Syndrome
Concussions can result from sports injuries, car accidents, falls, or even seemingly minor bumps to the head. If you’re experiencing persistent headaches, sensory sensitivity, brain fog, balance issues, or emotional changes weeks or months after a head injury, you may be dealing with post-concussion syndrome.
Advanced CranioSacral Therapy addresses the cranial bone misalignments, membrane compressions, and restricted cerebrospinal fluid flow that perpetuate post-concussion symptoms long after the initial injury. My specialized training in cranial base work allows me to release the deep restrictions other therapies and conventional treatments can’t address.
Concussion-Related Conditions I Have Successfully Treated:
> Post-Concussion Syndrome Treatment: Persistent symptoms after head injury
> Traumatic Brain Injury Recovery: TBI rehabilitation and symptom management
> Post-Concussion Headaches: Chronic headaches following concussion
> Post-Concussion Vertigo: Balance and dizziness issues
> Brain & Spinal Cord Injuries: Comprehensive nervous system recovery
What Makes Advanced CST Effective for Concussions?
Concussions create subtle shifts in cranial bone positioning and membrane tensions that standard medical imaging often can’t detect. Advanced Level CranioSacral Therapy uses precise palpation to identify and release these restrictions, restoring optimal cerebrospinal fluid flow and cranial mechanics, which addresses the root cause of persistent symptoms.

Insomnia
Insomnia is usually caused by an overactive nervous system. Getting to why your nervous system is overactive is key to being free of insomnia.
CranioSacral Therapy is an effective way of locating and releasing what’s causing your nervous system to be overactive, so you can get the rest you want and need.
Pain: Neck Pain, Back Pain, TMJD, Headaches, Migraines
Chronic Pain
Chronic pain, whether in your neck, back, skull base, or jaw, often persists because the underlying restrictions creating the pain haven’t been addressed. Pain medications and muscle relaxers mask symptoms temporarily, but the cranial, membrane, and joint restrictions that generate chronic pain remain.
Advanced CranioSacral Therapy addresses chronic pain at its source by releasing the restrictions in your cranial base, dural membranes, and fascial system that create ongoing pain signals. This gentle, non-force approach provides lasting relief when other therapies and conventional treatments have only offered temporary improvement.
Chronic Pain Conditions I Have Successfully Treated
Cranial & Cervical Pain:
> Chronic Neck Pain Treatment: Cranial base restrictions, dural tensions, nerve compression
> Occipital Joint Pain Treatment: Atlanto-occipital (a-o) dysfunction, skull base pain
> Occipital Neuralgia Treatment: a type of headache
> Chronic Headaches & Migraines: Membrane tensions, cranial restrictions
TMJ & Jaw Pain:
> TMJ Disorder Treatment: Temporal bone restrictions, jaw dysfunction
Back Pain:
> Chronic Back Pain Treatment: Sacral restrictions, spinal membrane tensions
Why Advanced Level CST for Chronic Pain?
My Advanced Level training & experience allows me to address the deep cranial base and membrane restrictions that often perpetuate chronic pain even after other treatments have been tried.

PTSD
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) has a variety of symptoms. Nightmares, reliving past traumatic experiences, heightened stress responses, and many other symptoms.
Normal everyday sensory info or experiences can suddenly trigger one’s mind and body to believe there is imminent danger.
CranioSacral Therapy has proven to be gentle enough not to overstimulate one’s nervous system, while helping to release or integrate experiences that have left lasting residue in the mind and body.
Seizure Disorders
Seizures can be caused by many things, from fevers to neurological issues, severe stress or severe trauma, to name a few of the causes. They come about from blocked or malfunctioning communication within the nervous system.
CranioSacral Therapy can help to calm the nervous system, release blockages caused by strain patterns within the body tissues, and facilitate improved flow of communication throughout the body.
Stroke Recovery
Strokes can wreak havoc in your life, and the lives of your loved ones. CranioSacral Therapy can help you recover more quickly, and more completely from a stroke.
At Body Wisdom, we’re specially trained in working with brain and spinal cord injuries.
Tinnitus & Ear Ringing
Tinnitus
Tinnitus – persistent ringing, buzzing, or humming in your ears, often results from temporal bone restrictions, cranial base dysfunction, or compromised cerebrospinal fluid flow affecting the structures of your inner ear. When conventional treatments (medications, hearing aids, sound therapy) provide limited relief, the underlying cranial restrictions need to be addressed.
Many people experience significant reduction or complete resolution of tinnitus with Advanced CranioSacral Therapy.

Vertigo, Dizziness, Balance Problems
Vertigo, Dizziness, Balance Problems
Vertigo and balance problems often result from inner ear dysfunction, cranial base restrictions affecting the vestibular system, or compromised cerebrospinal fluid flow. If you’re experiencing spinning sensations, dizziness when changing positions, unsteadiness, or feeling like the room is moving, these symptoms frequently respond well to Advanced CranioSacral Therapy, even when vestibular rehabilitation or medications haven’t provided lasting relief.
Advanced CST resolves the structural restrictions creating your vertigo symptoms.
Types of Vertigo & Balance Issues I Have Successfully Treated

Vagus Nerve Dysfunction
Vagus Nerve Dysfunction
Vagus Nerve Dysfunction Treatment
Do You Recognize This Pattern of Symptoms?
- Chronic anxiety or panic attacks that don’t respond to medication
- Digestive problems (bloating, constipation, IBS, GERD)
- Difficulty swallowing or feeling of throat tightness
- Heart palpitations despite normal cardiac tests
- Chronic inflammation throughout the body
- Poor stress recovery – feeling “wired and tired”
- Brain fog and concentration difficulties
- Dizziness, vertigo, or lightheadedness
- Tinnitus (ringing in ears)
- Chronic fatigue despite adequate sleep
- Sleep disturbances
- Difficulty regulating emotions
- Unexplained pain that moves around your body
If you’re experiencing three or more of these symptoms, vagus nerve dysfunction may be the missing link your doctors haven’t identified.
If you’re exhausted from seeing multiple doctors without getting answers – if you’re tired of taking multiple medications that treat symptoms without addressing the root cause – if you suspect there’s a connection between your various symptoms that no one has identified yet…
It’s time to have your nervous system evaluated by someone who specializes in seeing these connections.

Whiplash
Whiplash & Cervical Injury
Whiplash injuries from car accidents, sports impacts, or falls create deep restrictions in your cranial base, cervical spine, and dural membranes that often persist long after the acute injury heals. If you’re experiencing ongoing neck pain, headaches, dizziness, or cognitive issues months or even years after a whiplash injury, these symptoms indicate that the underlying structural restrictions haven’t been fully resolved.
Advanced CranioSacral Therapy addresses whiplash injuries at the deepest level by releasing cranial base compressions, decompressing the atlanto-occipital joint, releasing dural membrane tensions from skull to sacrum, and normalizing nervous system function disrupted by the trauma. This gentle approach provides lasting relief when conventional treatments (physical therapy, chiropractic, medications) have offered only temporary improvement.
