Cranial Sacral Therapy
A gentle, non-invasive, hands-on healing modality that focuses on the wave-like rhythmic pulse that goes through the entire body
What is craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a subtle, yet profound form of healing that assists the body’s natural capacity for self-repair.
The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. An imbalance in this system can cause many chronic conditions such as neck and back pain, headaches, stress, and fatigue.
Craniosacral therapy uses a light hands-on touch to detect any blocks or restrictions within the craniosacral system. This gentle method monitors the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid as it flows through the craniosacral system and encourages the body’s natural healing ability to lessen stress on the central nervous system.
