CranioSacral Therapy

CranioSacral TherapyCranioSacral therapy is a combination of physical, energy and hands on healing techniques. It is centered on a natural rhythm of the changing hydraulic pressure of the cerebral spinal fluid. This rhythm can be detected anywhere in your body and is used to pinpoint and treat problem sources.

Restrictions in your cranial-sacral system can adversely affect your central nervous system, which in turn affects all other body systems including sensory, motor and neurological function.

CranioSacral Therapy encourages your body's natural corrective mechanisms to improve the functioning of your brain and spinal cord, dissipate the effects of physical and emotional stress and enhance general health and resistance to disease.

massageBecause CranioSacral Therapy influences many body functions, it is used by a wide range of health care professionals including; osteopaths, dentists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, acupuncturists, chiropractors, manual therapists, massage therapists, healers and energy workers.

A CranioSacral Therapist Uses very light touch to follow restrictions in your body's tissue. The main idea is to help your body become more aware of its limitations. This is often enough to encourage your body's tissues to repair any restrictions. In other words, you often heal with the twist and strain patterns of an injury still in your body. The gentle outside touch of the therapist is often enough to encourage your muscles, bones, tendons, ligaments (body tissue) to fully repair itself. CranioSacral Therapy is effective with all diseases and dysfunctions. The intention of the therapy is to improve the operation and efficiency of all body functions rather than treating a specific disease or dysfunction.

I use CranioSacral Therapy with other Universal Flow Techniques because it addresses your physical body with the same approach and respect that I use in my energy work. That is; through staying grounded and maintaining my personal boundaries I can facilitate you learning to heal yourself by simply following patterns in your system.
