About Patricia

Patricia Farnsworth (D.R.M. RCST) is one of the most qualified practitioners and teachers in Australia in Myofascial Release and Craniosacral Therapy. She is unique in having qualifications in Remedial Massage, Craniosacral Therapy, Myofascial Release and Advanced Musculoskeletal Therapy (Craniosacral specialisation).

Patricia is a registered Craniosacral Therapist with the Craniosacral Therapy Association of Australia – www.craniosacraltherapy.org.au. She is a member of ATMS, (Australia's largest natural therapy association), is WorkCover approved, and Health fund accredited. Patricia's specialities include treating TMJ (jaw problems) and Pediatrics.

Given the range of Patricia's skills and experience with over 20 years as a Remedial Therapist many people with different types of problems and conditions can benefit from her sessions. Such conditions range from the acute to the chronic, and from the structural to the energetic.

Patricia is a sensitive, caring practitioner who treats many difficult cases and is referred to by many health professionals. Her approach to treatment is to create a safe space, and work deeply yet gently with the body. Healing is promoted rather than forced, and the individual is invited to participate in their own healing process.

Available Therapies

Craniosacral Therapy is a very gentle, safe, yet powerful musculoskeletal technique that is used to treat a wide range of health problems in both adults and children

Myofascial Release

Myofascial Release Therapy is a gentle blend of specialised stretching and connective tissue unwinding to promote healing, release and pain relief. The therapy is based on the idea that poor posture, physical injury, illness and emotional stress can throw the body out of alignment and cause its intricate web of fascia (connective tissue) to become tight and constricted.

Myofascial Release treatments usually take one hour and will include a physical evaluation before the treatment itself, for which the patient will be unclothed. A series of treatments may be necessary, although relief may be obtained in one session and it is generally suitable for people of all ages.

Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy helps to boost general well-being, reduce stress, improve quality of sleep, increase energy and enhance the functioning of all the body's organs. It is a non-intrusive therapy that works with the entire structure, physiology, mind and spirit.

For a treatment, clients usually lay on a massage table and the therapist works with the client fully clothed. It is a very gentle and profoundly relaxing procedure that lasts between 40 to 60 minutes. It is particularly suitable for those who have had head trauma and for treating babies and infants.

Myofascial Release and CST are often combined in the same treatment as they are more effective if given together for addressing most musculoskeletal problems.
