Craniosacral Therapy was pioneered and developed by osteopathic physician and Professor of Biomechanics Dr. John. E. Upledger.
Craniosacral Therapy (CST)
Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a non-massage, gentle, hands on therapy that releases tensions and restrictions deep within the body to relief pain and dysfunction and improve overall health and vitality. CST has been shown to naturally reduce pain and stress, strengthen your resistance to disease and enhance your overall health. This gentle therapy has been shown to be effective for all ages from infants to elders.
CST is a gentle, non-invasive hands-on treatment that works with the body’s craniosacral system — the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. Developed by Dr John E. Upledger, CST uses light touch to release deep restrictions and support the body’s natural healing processes.
This therapy is effective for headaches and migraines, neck and back pain, TMJ dysfunction, concussion, stress-related conditions, chronic fatigue and anxiety. It is also safe and beneficial for babies and children.
Fransisca is one of very few practitioners offering Craniosacral Therapy in the Centurion and Pretoria area.

Baby Therapy and Newborn Treatments
Babies can carry tension from their position in the womb or from the birth process itself. Gentle physiotherapy and Craniosacral Therapy can help release these tension patterns, supporting better feeding, sleep and comfort for your little one.
Common concerns treated include colic, reflux, constipation, feeding difficulties, neck stiffness, irritability and poor sleep patterns. Treatment is extremely gentle — many babies relax or fall asleep during their session.

This approach to baby care, makes use of gentle movements, to assess and optimize how your newborn’s joints and muscles are moving. Your little one might become stuck during the last few weeks of pregnancy into a position that prevents the baby from moving the neck, back and limbs into more comfortable position, and this causes stress to your baby.
During the birth process a lot of strain is put on the baby’s tiny body and this can add further discomfort to your baby. This therapy is effective because it influences a lot of what makes your baby feel comfortable, happy and content. Releasing tension in your baby’s body will be beneficial for many conditions including sleeping patterns, colic, reflux, constipation and feeding issues.
Lymphatic Balancing
A healthy lymphatic system is essential for filtering metabolic waste and preventing congestion of lymphatic fluid. When injury or infection compromises lymph circulation, waste accumulates in the tissues, causing swelling, discomfort and pain.
Lymphatic Balancing techniques help remove accumulated waste and relieve congestion in and around tissues. This treatment is particularly beneficial for fluid retention, post-surgical swelling and lymphoedema.
A fully functional lymphatic system is crucial for the body to prevent congestion of lymphatic fluid and filter out metabolic waste. If however injury or infection should happen, the proper circulation of the lymph becomes compromised and healthy blood is hindered from reaching the tissue cells. Cellular waste products accumulate in the tissues causing swelling and pain. Lymphatic Balancing techniques help to remove the accumulated waste and relieve congestion of lymph fluid in and around tissues. Lymphatic Balancing is beneficial in the treatment of accumulated fluid, fluid stagnation or lymphedema

Visceral Manipulation
Developed by French physiotherapist and osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, Visceral Manipulation is organ-specific fascial mobilisation therapy. It works with the connective tissue surrounding your internal organs to release restrictions caused by surgical scars, adhesions, illness, posture or injury.
When organs cannot move freely, tension patterns form through the fascial network, creating fixed points of restriction that can lead to pain, dysfunction and disease over time.
Visceral Manipulation is beneficial for digestive disorders, musculoskeletal pain, post-operative scar tissue, whiplash and seatbelt injuries, and a general lack of vitality.
Visceral Manipulation, has been developed by French Physiotherapist and Osteopath Jean Pierre Barral, D.O. and is organ specific fascial mobilization therapy. This means that organs are worked specifically in relation to their connective tissue and associated structures. For a body to be in good health, the viscera must move in harmony with the other organs and structures in the body.
Strains in the connective tissue of the organs can result from surgical scars, adhesions, illness, posture or injury. Tension patterns form through the fascial network deep within the body and become fixed points of restriction around which the body needs to move. That chronic irritation paves the way for disease, dysfunction and pain.
Studies found Visceral Manipulation beneficial for various disorders listed below and many more.
