Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is the work of Dr. Barry Gillespie. It is based on his theory that the Craniosacral and Fascial systems are not separate but one interconnected system.

CFT blends the two established modalities of Dr. William Sutherland’s Cranial Sacral Therapy and John Barnes’ Myofascial Release, along with dental techniques developed from Dr. Gillespie’s experience as a periodontist.

People often ask what is the difference between Craniosacral Therapy (CST) and Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT)? and how does Myofascial Release (MFR) fit into the mix? In CST no one mentions the clinical importance of the fascial web.
If you study Tom Myers, Gil Hedley and John Barnes’ brilliant teachings you’ll get a glimpse into the fascial web. We find the determining healing factor for our patients is in this web. If the fascia can be free, patients do well with CST; if the fascia remains tight, CST has little or no effect.

We believe the fascial web appears to rule the craniosacral system. We believe that the marriage of these two great therapies, craniosacral and myofascial, into Craniosacral Fascial Therapy (CFT) is the key. We also find that CFT is profound in releasing cranio- dental strain and oral dysfunction that can contribute to a tight system.
We find that if we truly listen closely to full-body strain patterns, we get the best results. 

When the fascial web is fully released, the cranial bones and sacrum amazingly seem to correct on their own. Dr. Taylor is certified in CFT/Gillespie therapy and offers this for all infants, and for adults & older children on a limited basis.
