CranioSacral Therapy is a biomechanical Osteopathic light touch approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction, improving whole-body health and performance.
Your craniosacral system is made up of 3 layers of meningeal membranes and cerebral spinal fluid (CSF). The CSF protects your central nervous system (CNS), the brain and spinal cord, from impact trauma by providing cushioning. CSF is also a transportor of hormones, nutrients and has a role in detoxification.
Your body absorbs everyday stresses and strains. It makes compromises to maintain enough balance to function, homeostasis. Over time though, these compromises turn into a mesh of tensions impacting on your CNS, which can in turn affect numerous other systems in your body.
The use of gentle tractioning and light pressure techniques, to release structual and emotional tension patterns, will improve mobility of your skull bones, hips, vertebrae, brain, spinal cord, and meningeal membranes. All of which will restore the flow of CSF, allowing your whole body to relax and self-correct.
By freeing your CNS from external and internal pressure, CranioSacral Therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being.

"Research strongly suggests that the birth process is responsible for many brain dysfunctions and central nervous system problems. CranioSacral Therapy carried out in the delivery room or within the first few days of life could potentially reduce a wide variety of difficulties, many of which might not become apparent until your child is in school. Even problems with head shape and skull-bone override can be corrected with the skillful use of CranioSacral Therapy."
