There are some phenomena around the Gillespie Approach that I cannot explain.
An eighteen-year-old boy presented with headaches. But he only got them when he was very active. He also cannot tolerate loud noises like his siblings talking at the dinner table.
He had a job where he lifted 50-pound bags in a warehouse. His brain cycle was zero seconds, and his fascial web was very quiet.
Surprisingly, he was doing quite well health-wise, even with a restricted craniosacral fascial system. At eighteen, a few patients can power through that handicap, but sooner or later in life, I expect them to hit the wall.
He was a fussy infant, indicating some birth trauma. He also was a poor sleeper as his mom could not put him down peacefully until he was two years old.
When he was six, he fell off a swing and struck his head. After he vomited and went to sleep, his parents felt he had suffered a concussion. They took him to a cranial osteopathic physician for treatment, and he was fine after therapy.
He fell off a horse at 14 and injured his neck. He also had a few hits to the head while playing volleyball this year.
In therapy, I started with the frontal release as his brain cycle opened to 30 seconds. His cranial bones nicely realigned to a more symmetrical position.
Once his cranium functioned better, his craniosacral fascial system responded by showing a trunk twist going into his neck. His brain cycle opened to a respectable 100 seconds at the end of the visit.
Since they were coming from a distance away, I told his mom that his headaches will probably go away with this therapy. If not, another visit would be in order.
If children are especially active, frequent checkup visits may be needed. In looking for the root cause of a condition, providers with Gillespie Approach Training can quickly hit the mark.
