Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy is a gentle hands-on treatment which releases tension patterns in the body to re-establish the optimal flow of the cranial rhythm throughout the body. The cranial rhythm is a subtle wave created by the circulation of the cerebrospinal fluid which surrounds the brain and spinal cord, protecting and nourishing it.

Using a soft touch, restrictions to this flow are released, which can relieve pain, increase mobility, reduce stress, improve function, lessen the effects of injury, and optimize brain function. Craniosacral is also excellent for addressing the emotional response to trauma which has been held in the body.
