This gentle, hands-on therapy relieves restrictions in the head, spine, sacrum, and fascia. During the treatment both bones and fascia are slowly and subtly shifted in order to help the body to untwist and release areas of tension in the membranes of the nervous system, as well as restrictions held in the fascial system.
On a physical level, the releases in the craniosacral membranes and in the fascia enhance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, improve the functioning of the central nervous system, and relieve pain. The releases also have a beneficial effect on emotional health, helping the body to free itself of suppressed emotions and trauma that have become locked in the organs and tissues. These changes allow healthier, more balanced patterns to be established.
Craniosacral therapy is very beneficial for conditions such as post-traumatic stress, post-surgical dysfunction, stress and tension related problems, chronic neck and back pain, chronic headaches, motor coordination impairment, and much more. It is an excellent tool for healing, both in conjunction with acupuncture and herbal medicine, and on its own.
