Craniosacral Therapy

The central nervous system is heavily influenced by the craniosacral system, consisting of the brain and the spinal column. The fluid that surrounds, protects and nourishes the brain and the spinal column is called cerebral spinal fluid. Daily movements cause the body’s muscle tissue to tighten potentially causing the restrictions around your brain and spinal column, hence prohibiting the flow the cerebral spinal fluid.

Craniosacral therapy aims to release tension in the soft tissues that surround the central nervous system to relieve pain, dysfunction and improve the body’s performance. It uses a soft touch, which is generally no greater than 5 grams of pressure (about the weight of a nickel).


Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral therapy uses a light touch to feel for these restrictions along with gentle movements for the purpose of releasing restrictions and promoting cerebrospinal fluid to flow and nourish the brain and spinal column. Ultimately, this therapy encourages the body to self-correct or align itself naturally.
