Lorrin Maughan, 
Patient

I had been struggling with fibromyalgia and chronic pain for years and finally had to take a leave of absence from work. When I saw Dr. Cristopher Bosted at Bastyr Center, he told me about craniosacral therapy, which is a gentle, hands-on approach to releasing restrictions in the body.

He asked if he could slide his hands under my hips, which were very painful, and I said yes. The mild manipulations produced a difference immediately. It felt great. I started going back every week. The problems I'd been having with my hips and feet got better. I've been sleeping well, I have more energy and my overall well-being is much better.

Recently, I got back on a horse to ride for the first time in years. I was bucked off, cracked my helmet in the landing and ended up in the emergency room. I came back to Bastyr Center the next day, and my treatments brought the pain right down. Within a few days I was walking without a limp and sleeping fine. Craniosacral therapy is a subtle modality, but for me the impacts were very dramatic. Dr. Bosted and his clinicians are such good teachers as well as healers. They have a very supportive approach to their patients. They give me hope by helping me see possibilities, and I appreciate their “wellness thinking” approach instead of "sick-patient thinking." I feel like they're cheering me every step of the way.
