Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle, bodywork therapy integrating the art and science of working with the dynamics of the body’s tissues. It helps balance the skull, spinal and pelvic bones by harnessing the self-corrective tendencies of the body’s connective tissue (fascia) and cerebrospinal fluid. While very subtle, this therapy is hightly effective in treating a wide range of conditions ranging from headaches to ear infections, back pain, malalignment or malocclusion.

Fred Samorodin, Registered Physical Therapist offers gentle, hands-on physical therapy, soft tissue manipulation (osteopathic manual therapy) . His many years of experience can assist in the recovery from old and new traumas/injuries and chronic pain conditions.  Fred will support you in taking charge of your physical health, mobility and well-being through bodywork that always includes helping the body from head to feet.  He believes in also providing advice on ideas, drug-free  products and services that you can use at home to support your recovery and wellness !

Fred uses osteopathic techniques and principles to successfully treat low back and neck problems.

He blends his professional knowledge as a physical therapist with experience in:

• Craniosacral Therapy,
• Visceral Manipulation,

Gently restores your tissues to healthy functioning (unwinding.)

You are comfortably positioned (clothed) on a treatment table. You may be taught core-stabilization exercises to maintain improved postural alignment achieved during sessions.

With Fred’s extensive experience in improving jaw mobility (temperomandibular joint), he also incorporates manual therapy to help relax and balance the tongue and throat muscles needed for good voice control when one’s work requires good voice quality.

My profile is now featured as an affiliate of the  Mastermoves Core Training Program at http://mastermoves.com/fred.html

I was featured in a write-up in the December 2005 edition of “The Creek” newspaper, serving the North and South shores of False Creek entitled “Craniosacral Therapy”. See the article posted in the Side-bar articles links on this website!

Additionally, an interview with me was published in the Monday, October 3, 2005 edition of the Russian Daily–Novoye Russkoye Slovo under the title (in Russian) –’Doukhobor from British Columbia’. The interview was conducted by an elderly Russian-speaking gentleman, Vladimir Ostovsky–a contributing writer to this Canadian-based Russian language newspaper published out of Toronto.

Our aim is to integrate the best of skills, service, education and resources in physical health to help clients recover from old or new traumas and go on to taking responsibility for their own self-care and make appropriate choices regarding their health and wellness.
