Body heals on its own time - Gillespie Approach–Craniosacral Fascial Therapy

The Body Heals on Its Own Time

We cannot control the body’s healing time.

I am seeing two toddlers with eye issues. One has come for ten visits and still has fascia straining with no eye resolution. The other left this morning, probably done after two visits.

The first child now has a 250-second brain cycle, is happier, and speaks better, but still has eye issues. I understand that parents get uneasy with time and money. If I were in their shoes, I would also want to know when we would be done.

Since I do not heal anyone, I am totally dependent on the fascial web fully releasing to allow the body to optimally heal itself. I have found that the fascial web releases in its own space and time.
