Sharing this with you!

My cystic fibrosis story has given me the insight of how the body can heal, the impacts of the medical system and left me with a deep understanding of pain that I use in my work in the clinic.

I’m lucky to be here today, without a transplant.

Have you seen Mel in the West Australian today?

Mel, a WA Mum who lives with CF, has shared her transformative experience receiving compassionate access to Trikafta, a promising CF treatment that is currently unavailable through the PBS. Check out the TODAY liftout in The West Australian to read more.

Thank you, Mel, for sharing your story and shedding light on the push for access to this important treatment.

The CF Federation will continue its advocacy work to push for subsided access to this drug. For more information about Trikafta, and how you can get involved, visit the CFA page. www.facebook.com/cysticfibrosisaustralia

✨ What does the research say about Craniosacral Therapy?

A 2021 prospective cohort study published in Complementary Therapies in Medicine followed 220 people—including infants, children, and adults—who received Craniosacral Therapy for a wide range of acute and chronic health concerns.

The researchers found significant improvements in:
✔️ Symptom intensity
✔️ Functional ability
✔️ Quality of life
✔️ Personal resilience, lowered stress and increased wellbeing

Participants received an average of 7 sessions, and improvements were seen across many different conditions, including musculoskeletal pain, stress-related concerns, and behavioural or emotional challenges in children.

Importantly, the study found that Craniosacral Therapy was generally safe, with only minor and temporary side effects reported and no serious adverse events recorded.

While more research is always needed, studies like this help build our understanding of how gentle, body-based approaches can support the body’s natural capacity for regulation, healing, and wellbeing.

As a practitioner, I continue to be inspired by what happens when the nervous system is given the opportunity to settle, reorganise, and find its way back toward balance. 🍃
