What is the central Nervous System?
The Central Nervous System comprises of the two most important structures in the human body apart from the heart. These structures are:
- The Brain
- The Spinal Cord
We can best describe the Central Nervous System as the central command centre of the human body. And it is responsible for the well being and proper functioning of the body through the brain and spinal cord.
The importance and functions of the brain and the spinal cord to the human body cannot be overemphasized. The brain controls the human’s thoughts, body movements, speech and also coordination of other organs in the body. The spinal cord is connected to the brain and transmits information from different parts of the body into the brain, and from the brain back.
How does Craniosacral Therapy Works?
The central nervous system (the brain and spinal cord) is surrounded by the craniosacral system, which comprises of membranes and fluids that protect, nourish and cleanse it. It can be said that the craniosacral system is as vital as the central nervous system. It ensures that the brain and spinal cord stay healthy and function as they ought to by circulating both blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) to them. (cerebrospinal fluid protects the brain and spinal cord from trauma)
The craniosacral system is also surrounded by soft tissues which should be free of restrictions. The presence of restrictions in the soft tissues distorts the membranes that enclose the central nervous system, leading to disruption in the flow of the cerebrospinal fluid to the layers (this would bring about chronic pain and disorder in specific parts of the body).
Craniosacral therapy brings about an increase in the ability of the body to self-correct and heal itself from head to toe, and also from inside out.
