What is CranioSacral Therapy?
CranioSacral Therapy is a very gentle healing modality addressing the central nervous system. It is comprised of the membranes and cerebral spinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord which in turn interface with all physiological systems of the body.
The cerebral spinal fluid is pumped around the system by hydraulic forces that produce a rhythmic rise and fall referred to as the CranioSacral Rhythm. The rhythm can be monitored to glean information about where physical restrictions might exist in the body.
Any imbalance in this system can create musculoskeletal, visceral and neurological problems and eliminating restrictions will produce a sense of functional ease and well being.
The treatment is very gentle and non-invasive mostly using 5 grams of pressure, hence a very light touch. An important aspect of CranioSacral Therapy is the self-correcting potential of the body that is activated to restore health. The practitioner does not ”fix¢ the client but awakens the body¢s ability to correct itself.
The client remains clothed and the session usually takes around an hour.
