Tight muscles and painful joints and tendons. Unwinding in craniosacral therapy, what does it do?
Craniosacral therapy treatments, quite often uses unwinding to relieve some tight joints or muscles. The unwinding is a natural way of detangling the strain that has been put on your body. In a person that is very stressed out, it can also be an internal unwinding, by letting go of a lot of the worry and tension caused by work or life in general.
I would describe the unwinding like a twisted elastic that you let go at the end and will just flip back by itself by just untwisting and unwinding till is back to normal.
The unwinding sometimes releases the pain and inflammation out of the body, so for a day or so it feels worse, and then it goes and you feel better little by little. Unless you cause the same problem again by getting yourself tensed up physically and mentally.
Unwinding is one of the most gentle and safe way of releasing the tight muscles and during craniosacral therapy this will usually end in a balance up of the entire body as well as the integration of the body and mind.
