Cranial/Sacral Therapy with Marklan Linnemeyer

Just ask any professional football player about the dangers of head/neck trauma and post-concussion syndrome, and you’ll come away with a newfound respect for the brain and spinal cord. For Marklan Linmemeyer, LMT, CST, it’s personal.

“I had experienced several concussions and neck traumas in my childhood years which continued to affect my quality of life,” said Marklan, who grew up in the Illinois Valley. “I was introduced to CranioSacral Therapy (CST) in 1994 by a gifted physical therapist named Alanna McClain who practiced here in Grants Pass.  I was new to manual therapy and impressed by how gently she used her hands while working with patients and by the tremendous changes she was able to help facilitate.  CST was the first care I received which was able to effectively address these issues.  Alanna inspired me to study CST through the Upledger Institute based in Florida and eventually open my own practice.  I have specialized in CST for 25 years and currently practice under an Oregon Massage License.”

After traveling, studying and working in various other places, Marklan decided in 2004 that southwestern Oregon was a most beautiful and diverse region to return to.  He enjoys Oregon beaches, hiking, skiing and paddling the rivers with his wife and kids. In 2013 he opened an office at 1829 Nebraska Avenue, sharing an office with Dr. Kevin Teagle.

CranioSacral Therapy has developed out of the osteopathic tradition of manual therapy. It focuses on the release of extraordinary soft tissue tensions that restrict the CranioSacral System, especially concerning the movement of the membranes around the brain and spinal cord.  Releasing these tensions allows circulation to improve and the brain to functionally recover. The gentle techniques are appropriate for all ages, from newborns to the elderly.

“I have recently completed advanced training in the treatment of concussion, and I am interested in raising awareness about the importance of CranioSacral Therapy (CST) for the treatment of head/neck trauma and post-concussion syndrome,” Marklan said. “Over the last twenty years, our culture has become more concerned about concussion injuries in sports, especially for children and young adults. However, conventional medical treatments do not effectively address these injuries. Thanks to the healing I have experienced through CST, I am enjoying a mid-life that is pain free and high functioning.  I believe CST is an essential part of any inter-disciplinary approach to healing concussions.” 

Treatments last most of an hour with the patient fully clothed and reclined on a warm treatment table. Each session is specific to the individual circumstances and the experience is typically relaxing and often more restorative than a whole night’s sleep.

“I also treat restrictions of the internal organs, lymph system and musculoskeletal system,” Marklan said. “This is often important when addressing concussion as everything in the body is interconnected and recovering movement and circulation in one area directly affects the whole.”
