I’m exhausted! Do I have adrenal fatigue syndrome?
There are many possible causes for fatigue. Regardless of your diagnosis, or lack thereof, myofascial release and cranial work can help you rest, re-energize and rejuvenate
Millions of Americans suffer from chronic feelings of exhaustion and a lack of well-being. Symptoms such as poor sleep, poor digestion, lack of stamina, stress, headaches, and depression have become more common than apple pie. But despite decades of neuroendocrinology and immune research, conventional medicine is not always able to give a clear explanation … or a solution.
Unfortunately, many diagnosable diseases must reach an advanced level of severity before showing up in standard medical tests. Early symptoms of poor health are too common to fit into any one “box.” The result? People can unknowingly suffer for years , pushing themselves to the limit and getting progressively worse, before they receive a clinical diagnosis such as adrenal insufficiency, fibromyalgia, or lupus. Even after being diagnosed, many of these conditions are difficult to treat effectively with conventional methods alone.


And here’s the rub … even though pre-clinical conditions such as adrenal fatigue are not detectable in any test, the symptoms are very real! So what can you do?
Luckily, non-invasive therapies such as myofascial release and cranial work can help. These therapies are virtually risk free and can help balance the neuro-endocrine-immune system safely and effectively. Regardless of whether your symptoms are pre-clinical or you have received a formal diagnosis, myofascial release and cranial work often have a profoundly relaxing effect on the mind and body, building energy and a deep sense of well-being. Stress, depression and anxiety decrease, while sleep and digestion improve.
How is this possible? It may have to do with the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, or “HPA axis” for short. This is a neuroendocrine pathway in the body that connects the brain to the pituitary and adrenal glands, regulates our response to stress, and is even tied to our immune system. Myofascial release and cranial work may have a calming and balancing effect on the HPA axis.
Either as a stand-alone approach or in combination with other therapies, myofascial release and cranial work are wonderful ways to restore your mind, body and spirit. Rest, rejuvenation, and healing are possible!
