Craniosacral Therapy
What is Craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on technique provided by a medical
practitioner to allow for body restrictions to be identified and released in
order to promote the body to help itself heal, as well as aide in preventing
illnesses.
The subtle techniques can be used to address chronic and acute health issues,
alleviate pain, providing comfort and overall well-being. This allows for a
blend and balance of the mind and body.
Specifically, the craniosacral system is comprised of cerebral spinal fluid
and membranes which surround the brain and spinal cord and serves to protect
them. The system extends from the cranium which is made of the bones of the
skull, to the sacrum known as the tailbone.
Any type of restriction or imbalance in this system can lead to a variety or
combination of problems affecting the motor, sensory, or neurological systems.

What to expect during your craniosacral therapy session?
A thorough medical history, description of the health issue and reason to seek
craniosacral therapy are documented. During treatment, the patient remains
fully clothed or with undergarments left on with proper draping. The patient’s
craniosacral rhythm is first monitored at specific points to determine
imbalances or restrictions. The therapeutic touch is light and subtle manual
techniques to the craniosacral areas are applied to release restrictions
found during the initial body evaluation. A treatment may be scheduled for a
20-60 minute session. It can be combined with other types of treatment. The
outcome: a release of central nervous system restrictions allowing for a
relaxed mind and body with improved function, healing, and optimum health.
