Craniosacral Therapy
Balancing Your Natural Rhythm
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, hands-on technique thought to improve the fluid movement of the craniosacral system. By doing this, it can enhance and complement the body's natural healing mechanisms.
WHAT HAPPENS?
Craniosacral Therapy is said to improve the fluid movement in the systems throughout the body. By doing this, it can enhance many functions: the provision of nutrients to cells; the removal of toxins and waste products from the tissues; the circulation of immune cells; the delivery of fresh blood to organs and tissues; and the movement of cerebral spinal fluid.

WHAT HAPPENS DURING A SESSION?
The patient is fully clothed and lies on a padded table. The therapist will begin by placing his or her hands on the body. The cranium (skull) and the sacrum (tailbone) are very often where most of the touch occurs, however other body parts may be touched. During a session, the Central Nervous System calms down and a deep sense of relaxation occurs. As the mind becomes more still, the patient can often sense movements of energy or releases in specific areas of the body. Each session is further individualized according to patient response.
