CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on method of detecting and releasing restrictions in the nervous system to support your health and healing. All forms of trauma can create imbalances in the body. Using a light touch the practitioner listens to the rhythm and wavelike movement of the cranial wave. With specific techniques the practitioner encourages the body to release old patterns of tension and return to balance. Because CST is client-led, your body will set the pace of the work and integrate changes that occur.
This deeply relaxing therapy is helpful in treating anxiety, headaches, sinus congestion, tmj/jaw tension, chronic neck and back pain, head traumas and many other conditions. In releasing stress and tensions in the body-mind, CranioSacral Therapy can improve one's sleep patterns, reduce fibromyalgia symptoms, strengthen one's immune system and provide a greater feeling of comfort, balance and peace.
For babies and children this gentle technique helps to release tensions from the birthing process, improve digestive and breathing discomforts, better sleep and supports healthy growth and development. Infant massage instructions can be included in the session for home care.
During your CranioSacral session you will lie clothed on a comfortable, heated massage table. For better health a series of 4-6, 1 hour sessions is recommended for Adults. For babies and children sessions run 30-45 minutes as needed
