Quiet Reset: How Craniosacral & Myofascial Therapies Unlock the Body’s Deepest Tension
Schie Health | Craniosacral Therapy in Virginia Beach
Some of the deepest healing doesn’t come from pressure—it comes from presence. At Schie Health, our craniosacral and myofascial therapies help unwind the physical and emotional patterns that keep you stuck in stress, pain, and fatigue.
We blend the gentle art of Craniosacral Therapy, the structured flow of John Barnes Myofascial Release, and the fascial freedom of Gillespie Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) into a unique experience for all ages and sensitivities.
What Is Craniosacral Therapy (CST)?
CST is a gentle, hands-on technique that uses light touch to release tension in the central nervous system. Working with the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid, your therapist follows subtle cues to restore balance in the head, spine, and sacrum.
Great for:
Migraines and tension headaches
Anxiety and emotional overload
TMJ and jaw tension
Sensory issues and sleep disturbances
Chronic pain and trauma recovery
John Barnes Myofascial Release (MFR)
This approach targets the fascia—the body’s connective tissue web that holds everything together. Unlike quick or forceful massage, Barnes MFR uses sustained, intuitive pressure to gently melt adhesions, freeing up movement and stored emotion.
Ideal for:
Long-term pain conditions (e.g., fibromyalgia, plantar fasciitis)
Postural tension and restrictions
Clients who “hold” stress in the body
Emotional processing through the tissue
Gillespie Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)
This method combines craniosacral and fascial release with rhythmic bodywork to support brain-body flow. Especially beneficial for infants, children, and highly sensitive adults, CFT works to decompress strain patterns and rebalance the fascial system connected to the brainstem.
CFT is often used for:
Tongue/lip tie recovery
Head shape asymmetry
TMJ dysfunction
Concussions or birth trauma
Focus and emotional regulation
Why This Matters
Support for overstimulation, headaches, anxiety, and orthodontic tension
Nervous system reset for burnout, screen fatigue, jaw issues, and trauma
Holistic relief for pain that hasn’t responded to traditional care, emotional processing, or a way to safely unwind years of physical holding
What You’ll Feel in a Session
Clients often describe CST and MFR as:
“Deep rest without sleep”
“Emotions rising and releasing, without talking”
“Lighter, more grounded, and connected to myself”
This work invites your body to release—without forcing anything.
Stillness Is a Strategy
At Schie Health, we use these therapies to create space. Space for your breath. Space for your nervous system. Space to soften, release, and reset—so healing can flow.
