CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY (CST)
CranioSacral Therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on form of manual therapy that focuses on evaluating and enhancing the craniosacral system of the body. The craniosacral system is made up of membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds and protects your brain and spinal cord. This impressive form of therapy was created by osteopathic physician John E. Upledger after several extensive scientific studies from the years of 1975- 1983. With CST, a physical therapist uses gentle pressure to release pain and tensions deep in the body and regulate the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. In fact, the touch is so gentle, that the pressure is typically no more than 5 grams – roughly the weight of a nickel.This makes CranioSacralTherapy ideal for
those living with severe conditions that leave them feeling constantly uncomfortable.

At Fyzical Arkansas, we are proud to offer CranioSacral Therapy for any patient that our physical therapists believe could benefit from it. Your body endures daily stresses and strains that, with time, can cause tissues to tighten and distort the craniosacral system.These distortions can then cause restrictions in the brain or spinal cord if tensions continue to form. Fortunately, our licensed physical therapists can detect and prevent against such restrictions through a craniosacral evaluation. He or she will gently touch various locations of your body to test for the ease of motion and rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid pulsing around your brain and spinal cord. This will determine whether or not CranioSacral Therapy should be a part of your physical therapy plan.

GRILLED ZUCCHINI WITH PARMESAN
Combine oil, garlic and crushed red pepper in a small skillet over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until the garlic is softened and light golden, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat; let cool for 5 minutes. Stir in panko, Parmesan, thyme, lemon zest and salt. Preheat grill to very high (at least 500°F). Oil the grill grates, using tongs to hold an oil-soaked paper towel. Place zucchini, cut-sides down, on the oiled grates; grill, uncovered, until tender-crisp, about 5 minutes per side. Flip the zucchini so they are cut-side up; spoon the panko mixture evenly on top. Grill, covered, until the topping is golden brown in spots, 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully transfer to a serving platter. Serve with lemon wedges.

IS YOUR DIGITAL LIFESTYLE AFFECTING YOUR POSTURE? Poor posture is something we normally do not think of as a contributor to neck and back pain. However, in our era of constantly being on smart phones, tablets, and computers, we often put our necksandbacks inpositionsofprolonged stress. Over time, this contributes to increased stress to our vertebrae, disc and muscles supporting the spine. one more activity that causes us to look down—and people tend to do it for much longer periods. It is especially concerning because young, growing children could possibly cause permanent damage to their cervical spines that could lead to lifelong neck pain.
We often see patients who have suffered from back and neck pain for years who could have been treated very easily when the pain started with simple postural corrections and stretches. If you have been suffering from back or neck pain, come see one of our therapists for an assessment of what is contributing to your pain.
Text neck is the term used to describe the neck pain and damage sustained from looking down at your cell phone, tablet, or other wireless devices too frequently and for too long. Of course, this posture of bending your neck to look down does not occur only when texting. For years, we’ve all looked down to read. The problem with texting is that it adds
