Ellie’s Journey to Healing: Finding Relief and Confidence with Craniosacral Therapy

Ellie has been managing the after-effects of injuries for over 30 years. “Back then, little was known about injuries to the brain, nervous system, and even the smallest, finest muscles,” she shared. Over the years, Ellie tried numerous therapies and treatments, including ibuprofen, muscle relaxers, hot/cold packs, chiropractic care, myofascial release (MFR), physical therapy, occupational therapy, massage, acupuncture, and energy work. While these offered temporary relief, some soft tissue dysfunction always persisted.

Ellie had previously tried craniosacral therapy but didn’t experience lasting results. However, her experience with Becca was different. Becca immediately understood Ellie’s situation and made her feel supported throughout her healing journey. Through craniosacral therapy, Ellie experienced significant relief from the pain and weakness in her lower back, which had often felt overwhelming.

After seeing Becca weekly, Ellie noticed a profound improvement. Her lower back returned to normal function, allowing her to participate in more areas of her life with less pain. She described herself as being “a more pleasant person to be around” thanks to the progress she made. Becca’s treatments have given Ellie greater confidence in using her body, reduced her anxiety about pain, and helped her overcome fears of being unable to do certain activities. Ellie also shared that whenever she backslides into discomfort, Becca is able to address it effectively, adding, “Having a provider who ‘gets it’ is huge!”

Through craniosacral therapy, Ellie has not only experienced physical improvements but also gained a deeper understanding of her body and a greater compassion for others dealing with pain or PTSD. She encourages others to try craniosacral therapy, describing it as a subtle but profoundly impactful treatment that requires patience but is well worth the effort.

“Becca left me feeling better than when I came in,” Ellie said. After each session, she notices decreased pain, improved muscle relaxation, and an overall sense of well-being. Through her journey with Becca and craniosacral therapy, Ellie has found not only relief from pain but also a renewed sense of confidence, resilience, and compassion—proving that healing is possible, even after decades of discomfort.
