CRANIOSACRAL

The craniosacral system involves the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal column.  As you endure stressors and strains, your body absorbs them. Your body can only handle so much tension, however, before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system, and nearly every other system in your body. Craniosacral therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a gentle touch starting with about the weight of a nickel the practitioner evaluates you for strain patterns.  Then they use distinctive light touch techniques to release any restrictions they find. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, craniosacral therapy has been shown to naturally reduce pain and stress, strengthen your resistance to disease, and enhance your health and well-being. Because it's so gentle, craniosacral therapy has been shown to be effective for all ages from newborn to elders. 

A typical craniosacral therapy session takes place in a quiet, relaxing setting. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a warmed, padded table. Your therapist begins by gently, touching various parts of your head and body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system. By carefully feeling for locations of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, your practitioner can trace these areas of weakness through the body to the original source of tissue dysfunction. Delicate manual techniques are then used to release any problem areas and improve the form and function of your central nervous system.
