Gillespie Approach Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)

The Gillespie Approach to Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is a gentle, hands-on technique that helps release tension and restrictions in the body’s fascial and craniosacral systems. These systems play an essential role in how the nervous system, muscles, and organs function. When tightness or strain builds up — whether from birth, injuries, or daily stress — it can affect the way the entire body communicates and adapts.

CFT focuses on working with both the craniosacral system and the fascial web to improve overall body function, support healthy neurological development, and restore balance. By releasing fascial strain and improving the natural motion of the body’s tissues, we help create space for the body to heal and function the way God designed it to.

Common Reasons People Seek CFT:

  • Infants with colic, reflux, feeding or latching issues

  • Babies experiencing tongue or lip ties

  • Torticollis, head tilts, or flattened head shapes

  • Children struggling with constipation, bedwetting, or ear infections

  • Sensory challenges, emotional regulation struggles, or developmental delays

  • Adults experiencing headaches, TMJ pain, chronic tension, or stress-related symptoms

  • Support for overall neurological function and body balance

CFT is safe and effective for people of all ages, from newborns to adults. At Selah, we incorporate this gentle approach to support optimal nervous system function and to help release stored tension, allowing the body to heal more freely.
