Craniosacral Fascial Therapy: The Missing Link in Chronic Pain & Chronic Illness

Welcome back to Beautifully Broken, where healing meets high performance. Today's conversation is with Kim and Holly from CFT Global, the leaders carrying forward Craniosacral Fascial Therapy, a modality that blends craniosacral therapy, myofascial release, and oral-structural work into one unified system.We explore why fascia is not just connective tissue, but an intelligent communication network that holds tension, trauma, and adaptation patterns. From infants struggling after birth, to adults with migraines, brain fog, concussions, and chronic stress, CFT works by restoring movement—movement of the cranial bones, movement of cerebrospinal fluid, and movement of the nervous system back toward safety.What struck me most is this: CFT doesn't force the body to heal. It listens. By following the body's innate wisdom, the nervous system shifts into parasympathetic regulation, allowing digestion, detoxification, emotional processing, and cognition to improve naturally. This episode is a deep dive into why healing is not about doing more, but about creating the conditions where the body can finally do what it already knows how to do.Episode Highlights[00:00] – Craniosynostosis, infant skulls, and why cranial plates must move for brain growth[02:16] – What Craniosacral Fascial Therapy actually is (and how it's different from CST)[04:11] – Cognitive clarity, emotional shifts, and whole-body effects of fascial release[06:34] – The origins of CFT: osteopathy, myofascial release, and oral structures[08:29] – Why head pressure persists even when labs “look normal”[10:12] – Tongue ties, airway dysfunction, and the overlooked craniodental system[13:29] – Weston Price, epigenetics, and how modern environments reshape facial structure[17:27] – Why releasing a tongue tie without bodywork can create new problems[23:10] – Are cranial bones really fused? Debunking a long-held medical myth[25:48] – Understanding the “brain cycle” and what zero brain motion means[31:23] – Vagus nerve regulation and parasympathetic healing through CFT[39:41] – Fascia as an organ system and what dissection reveals about the body[41:36] – Adhesions, scars, and how gentle work restores visceral movement[47:26] – Concussions, CTE, and why unresolved cranial strain matters long-term[50:57] – Why CFT is still unknown—and why that's starting to change[01:01:36] – Emotional releases, stored trauma, and the body's ability to unwind[01:04:34] – What infants teach us about nervous system regulation (no placebo required)Links & ResourcesCFT Global Website & Trainings: https://craniosacralfascialtherapy.comKim and Holly's  Instagram: @cftgillespieapproachBeam Minerals: http://beamminerals.com/beautifullybroken— Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENSilver Biotics: bit.ly/3JnxyDD— 30% off with Code: BEAUTIFULLYBROKENLightPathLED: https://lightpathled.pxf.io/c/3438432/2059835/25794— Code: beautifullybrokenCathcBio https://www.catchbio.com/beautifullybroken— Code: beautifullybrokenStemRegn: https://www.stemregen.co/products/release?_ef_transaction_id=&affid=52&oid=1— Code: beautifullybroken   CONNECT WITH FREDDIEWork with Me: https://www.beautifullybroken.world/biological-blueprintWebsite and Store: (http://www.beautifullybroken.world) Instagram: (https://www.instagram.com/beautifullybroken.world/) YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@freddiekimmel Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Angela Hanscom is a pediatric occupational therapist, author, and founder of TimberNook, an award-winning, nature-based developmental program now operating in four countries. With a master's in occupational therapy and a background in kinesiology, she has become a leading voice on the critical importance of unrestricted outdoor play for sensory, motor, social, and emotional development. Her book, Balanced and Barefoot: How Unrestricted Outdoor Play Makes for Strong, Confident, and Capable Children, outlines the profound impacts of movement and nature on the developing brain and body.Description/Summary: In this enlightening episode, Bethany Lewis welcomes Angela Hanscom to explore the deep therapeutic benefits of nature and unstructured outdoor play. Angela shares her journey from traditional OT clinics to creating TimberNook, highlighting the sensory deficits she observed in children confined to indoor, structured environments. They discuss how the core developmental challenges many kids face today—issues with balance, attention, sensory processing, and emotional regulation—are remarkably similar to symptoms experienced by those recovering from concussion and brain injury.The conversation delves into the science of the vestibular system, explaining why movements like spinning, climbing, and rolling are not just play, but essential neurological workouts. Angela makes a compelling case for how natural, outdoor environments provide the varied, graded sensory input that "plastic" indoor settings cannot, promoting better integration, focus, and resilience. She also addresses the "risk paradox," explaining how overprotection can lead to poorer risk assessment and greater injury. For anyone—child or adult—dealing with sensory overwhelm, anxiety, or post-concussion symptoms, this episode offers a hopeful, practical argument for the healing power of getting outside, moving freely, and reconnecting with the natural world.Connect with Angela Hanscom and TimberNook:Website: http://www.timbernook.com (Features new research on TimberNook's impact in schools)Email: angie@timbernook.comInstagram: @timbernook_globalFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimberNook.Camps/Book: Balanced and Barefoot by Angela HanscomBethany Lewis & The Concussion Coach:Free Guide: "5 Best Ways to Support Your Loved One Dealing with a Concussion" - Download at www.theconcussioncoach.comConcussion Coaching Program: For personalized mentorship in recovery.

Recent research from the Journal of the American Medical Association serves to remind us of our need to be diligent in protecting our kids from experiencing trauma to their brains while playing sports. Using new imaging techniques, researchers at Columbia University have discovered that the area of the brain behind the forehead – known as the cerebral cortex – suffers the most damage from repeatedly heading a soccer ball. The practical result of this damage is a decline in cognitive function. In the past, you've heard us talk about the growing body of research regarding CTE, or chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a condition leading to cognitive decline. If you want to learn more about CTE we suggest you check out the website of the concussion legacy foundation. Parents, we are called to steward the physical, mental, and spiritual health of our kids. Are you taking steps to insure that they won't engage in activities that put the gift of their God-given brains at risk? If not, take steps now.

So many of us walk around carrying symptoms we've tried to explain away. The headaches, the screen intolerance, the brain fog, the frustration that hits when the simplest tasks feel harder than they should. I see this often in our practice, and I've lived parts of it myself. What most people never realize is how often an old head injury is still directing the show. Your body is brilliant. It remembers everything, including the moments when your brain had to work overtime just to make sense of what your eyes were taking in. Talking with Dr. Bryce Appelbaum brought so much clarity to this. He explains how vision is really brain function and why concussions always affect the visual system, even when eyesight looks normal. We get into the neuroinflammation piece, the overwhelm that builds when the eye brain connection is stressed, and the ways we learn to compensate without ever knowing we are doing it. I share parts of my own journey too, including the visual challenges I masked for years by sheer force of will. This conversation brings a lot of hope. Once you understand why your system has been struggling, you can finally see the path forward. Your body remembers how to heal. Let's unpack this together. Key Takeaways Vision Lives in the Brain – Vision reflects how the brain processes information. Neuroinflammation Affects Vision – Light sensitivity and fatigue signal visual system inflammation. Concussions Often Go Missed – Even mild head impacts disrupt visual brain function. Compensation Drains Energy – Overworked vision strains mood, digestion, and resilience. Holistic Rehab Restores Function – Vision therapy and nervous system support rebuild regulation. Daily Support Helps – Simple visual habits reduce symptoms and improve ease.

He joins us to demystify this complex condition and share a hopeful, practical path to recovery.Description:What is Functional Neurological Disorder (FND), and how is it similar to concussion recovery? In this fascinating episode, pediatric occupational therapist Jason Kreuzman breaks down FND—a disorder where the brain and body's communication goes awry, causing very real, debilitating symptoms like functional seizures, limb weakness, and tremors.Jason shares his journey into this niche field, the heartbreaking stigma patients face, and the striking similarities between FND and post-concussion syndrome (including the "invisible" nature of symptoms and the "boom-bust" cycle). We dive deep into the role of occupational therapy in FND recovery, focusing on nervous system regulation, sensory integration, and the crucial "twist": focusing on the task, not the symptom.We discuss:A clear definition of FND and how it's diagnosed.The surprising overlap between FND, chronic pain, and concussion.Why a holistic, team-based approach (OT, PT, Psychology) is essential.Practical strategies for nervous system regulation and interoceptive awareness.Crucial advice for parents and caregivers on co-regulation and advocacy.What to do (and what not to do) during a functional seizure.School accommodations.A powerful message of hope: recovery is possible.If you or a loved one is navigating confusing neurological symptoms, this episode offers validation, clarity, and a roadmap to finding the right help.Shownotes & Key Resources Mentioned:Resources from Jason Kreuzman:RewireOT.com: Jason's central hub for FND resources, information, and updates on his outpatient clinic (opening late 2025).FND Society: Jason is the Co-Chair of their Pediatric Committee.

On today's Good Day Health Show - ON DEMAND…Host Doug Stephan and Dr. Ken Kronhaus of Lake Cardiology (352-735-1400) cover a number of topics affecting our health. First up, Doug and Dr. Ken discuss the biggest news stories in the medical world, starting with new research on early Alzheimer's warnings, particularly for those with hearing loss. This news continues to emphasize the importance of getting your hearing tested, especially if your loved ones point out you aren't hearing them (since many don't want to acknowledge hearing issues themselves). Additionally, a study suggested listening to music may lower your rate of dementia. Because there is no cure for dementia, prevention is important. Listening to music is helpful, and playing an instrument is even better. Next up, a new blood test can help diagnose the severity of head trauma when a concussion occurs, good news out of the Mayo Clinic looking at a minor procedure to get a stint in a blood vessel instead of a major surgery with the carotid artery, and the benefits of a low-dose aspirin for heart health in some (it is no longer universally recommended), and how it is also being shown to help diabetic patients specifically.Moving on, there's new data on coffee consumption, looking at drinking one cup of caffeinated coffee per day may significantly lower a person's risk of recurrent A-Fib episodes by as much as 39%. Rounding out the conversation, Doug and Dr. Ken answer listener questions, including colitis flare ups post-Thanksgiving indulgence, as well as causes and symptoms, in addition to foods that have microplastics in them at a higher rate than ever before. Those foods include sea salt, beer, shellfish, rice, apples, carrots, even tea. Now, the question begs, is this enough to be causing harm, or is this just a measurement used as a scare tactic. Doug and Dr. Ken discuss.  Website: GoodDayHealthrShow.com Social Media: @GoodDayNetworks

We are thrilled to welcome back the fabulous Dr. Devin Duval for another insightful conversation. Dr. Duval is a Neuro-Optometrist with a focus on pediatrics, vision therapy, and vision rehabilitation. He is a Fellow of the College of Optometrists in Vision Development (FCOVD), a member of the Neuro-Optometric Rehabilitation Association (NORA), and an associate professor at Rocky Mountain University. He is dedicated to advancing the field and helping patients with concussions and developmental challenges through neuro-optometric care.Summary Description:In this continuation of a fantastic conversation (see Episode 111), Bethany Lewis and Kaylee Blair dive deeper with Dr. Duval into three critical topics for concussion recovery:Primitive Reflexes: Learn what primitive reflexes are, why they are crucial for our foundational neurological development, and how a concussion can cause them to re-emerge, creating symptoms like heightened startle responses, fidgeting, balance issues, and visual problems. Dr. Duval explains how reintegrating these reflexes through specific exercises can break through recovery plateaus and accelerate healing.Sleep Hygiene: Dr. Duval shares essential, light-based strategies for improving sleep—a cornerstone of brain recovery. Discover why morning and evening light exposure is vital, how blue light from screens disrupts your sleep cycle, and how practical tools like blue-light-blocking glasses and red-light lamps can help you get the restorative rest you need.Navigating Setbacks: Concussion recovery is rarely a straight line. Dr. Duval offers encouraging wisdom and perspective for those times when you feel you've taken "five steps back," reminding listeners that progress is an upward trend, even with inevitable peaks and valleys.This episode is packed with actionable insights and hope for anyone on a concussion recovery journey.Resources MentionedPrevious Episodes with Dr. Duval:Episode 28: The Benefits of Neuro-Optometry for People with Concussions - Watch on YouTubeEpisode 111: Understanding and Using Syntonics (Light Therapy) in Concussion Recovery - Watch on YouTubePrimitive Reflex Resources:Book: "Reflexes, Learning and Behavior" by Sally Goddard Blythe.

UK Athletics have encouraged all their female athletes to get the SRY screen done to ensure eligibility for women's sport. A good step, but one that comes at a financial cost to the athlete.it's a cost that many would consider worth incurring to protect women's sport, as demonstrated by this week's controversial victory, and then disqualification, of a male in the World's Strongest Woman event in Texas.
