Coping with brain fog: Gill Redden Cranio
Researchers from many leading medical facilities and institutes around the world, including the New Zealand Ministry of Health and Harvard University, have identified brain fog as one of the many Long Covid problems.
Brain fog could be as simple as the fact that you can’t think of a specific word you want to use, or you might be uncharacteristically forgetful. Christchurch concussion and migraine specialist Gill Redden is increasingly seeing clients who have developed what is being labelled brain fog. Gill offers a range of services using CranioSacral therapy. Treatment areas include targeting the brain, as well as vertigo.
“Using CranioSacral therapy as part of your natural, drug-free Long Covid recovery plan is one piece in the jigsaw puzzle to potentially returning to your pre-Covid health status,” she says.
Using a manual soft touch, Gill helps release restrictions in cranial or other bones so that they can move more freely. She also treats organs, as well as the soft tissues that surround the brain and which go down the spine to the sacrum.
“During Covid, a high fever is often present thus causing the cytokines (which are inflammatory markers), to stay elevated. This indicates the immune system is operating in overdrive as it fights the virus, stressing many parts of the body,” she explains.
While there’s no one-size-fits-all treatment that can cure these cognitive difficulties, Gill is providing clients with a unique opportunity to receive a 2.5 hour treatment package for their brain, valued at $340, for a limited time.
The treatment package is recommended to be completed within 30 days of commencement. For more information about Gill Redden CranioSacral therapy and her clinic’s work check out her website.
