CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral Therapy is a light-touch manual therapy that addresses restrictions in the craniosacral system, which system includes the membranes and fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This vital system extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, which make up the cranium, down to the sacrum or tailbone area.  This gentle method of detection and correction encourages your own natural healing mechanisms giving you better overall health and resistance to disease.

CranioSacral Therapy is performed using light touch generally no more than the weight of a nickel.  The practitioner monitors the rhythm of the craniosacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord.  This results in a central nervous system free of restrictions and a body that is able to return to its greatest levels of performance.
