Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)
CFT is a gentle, hands-on modality that fosters the release of strain in the body to provide a freely moving brain, spinal cord, and free and fluid tissues and fascia. It is a unique blend of Craniosacral Therapy and Fascial Release which was developed and pioneered by Dr. Barry Gillespie. It is based on the fundamentals from cranial osteopathic principles, MFR techniques, and Dr. Barry Gillespie’s background as a periodontist. Dr. Gillespie’s brilliant integration of these therapies created The Gillespie Approach to Craniosacral Fascial Therapy. While CFT is a complete modality in itself, this therapy is also extremely complementary to other forms of therapies in many professional settings.
My involvement with CFT came about through my testimonial receiving the therapy for my daughter. It was a life-changing experience that led me to take the training myself. I have also had two podcast discussions with my friend Courtney about CFT that you can find here and here.
