Craniosacral

The Craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. This vital system influences the development and performance of the brain/spinal cord. An imbalance or restriction in it could potentially cause any number of sensory motor or neurological disabilities, such as migraines, headaches, chronic pain, eye difficulties, scoliosis, motor-coordination impairments, learning disabilities, chronic fatigue, central nervous system disorders, TMJ syndrome, chronic neck/back pain, and orthopedic problems.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanism to dissipate the negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. It allows the natural Cranial Sacral Rhythm to re-establish itself thus increasing flow of fluids in cells and massage of organs necessary for good health. After a session, clients feel deeply relaxed and experience lowered levels of tension or pain.

In a typical craniosacral session, you will usually lie (or sometimes sit) fully-clothed on a treatment couch. The therapist will make contact by placing their hands lightly on your body and tuning in.

The first thing you will probably notice is a sense of deep relaxation, which will generally last throughout the session. This release of tension often extends into everyday life.

Sometimes the benefits are not immediately noticeable but become obvious on returning to a familiar environment. The work is often deeply moving and exhilarating.
