Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique that works with the natural rhythm of your body to support the brain, spine, and nervous system. This helps your body release deep tension — reducing pain, calming your nervous system, and restoring your natural balance by supporting your body’s own healing intelligence. Influencing the body’s natural mobility and fluid dynamics of the craniosacral system, thus helps the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) stay fluid and in balance. The body has an inherent “breath” or cranial rhythmic impulse — a subtle wave-like motion of the cranial bones, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid. When this rhythm becomes restricted by stress, trauma, or tension, it may contribute to physical and emotional imbalance.

During a session, the practitioner uses extremely light touch (about the weight of a nickel) to palpate the rhythm and facilitate gentle releases in the skull, spine, and sacrum, allowing the nervous system to self-correct. In short, Craniosacral Therapy supports the body’s self-healing potential by gently balancing the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and relaxing the nervous system.
