Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy that seeks to find and treat restrictions throughout the body systems

Restrictions within the CranioSacral system can lead to tension patterns, restrictions or affect the functioning of all bodily systems including the musculoskeletal, endocrine, cardio-respiratory, gastrointestinal, lymphatic, immune and reproductive systems.

Through various assessment methods, your whole body and CranioSacral system will be assessed to find the “primary” restrictions or “root causes” of your issues. Over time when these issues go untreated, the body may find ways to compensate in order to keep us functioning well. When the body can no longer compensate or the restrictions are so great that it overcomes the body’s compensatory strategies, symptoms are experienced.

What CranioSacral Therapy looks like

During a session you can expect many gentle hand placements around the head and neck, face and sacrum. These places may be held for quite some time in order for the full relaxation of the area to occur. It is extremely rare that any of these treatment techniques would be painful and as such is a wonderful type of therapy for those that have chronic pain or sensitivities relating to their pain. Typically a session will last for an hour and it is common that you may briefly fall asleep whilst receiving treatment
