What is CranioSacral Therapy ?

 

Craniosacral therapy is an offshoot of traditional osteopathic medicine, based on the findings that were highlighted by osteopaths over one hundred years ago. These findings show, that when healthy, all tissues express a subtle rhythmical motion palpable to the hands of a trained therapist This expression of the Breath of Life is fundamental to good health..However factors such as accidents, injuries, stress or emotional problems compromise this subtle motion and can lead to a wide range of health problems. In treatment, the skilful touch of a trained practitioner helps to identify any areas of stress or strain and encourages a restoration of subtle motion resulting in a return to health. Treatment may involve a step by step process in which layers of stress or trauma are resolved, allowing more of the natural health of the body to shine through.

 

It is a “Hands-on” therapy. For treatment, you will usually lie on a treatment table and experience the very light touch of a therapist's hands. Treatment is normally carried out fully clothed and can last from 30 minutes to an hour.

 

The gentle approaches used assist the body’s

own potential to heal and release restrictions and

stresses stored there. The number of treatments

needed will vary. Some symptoms resolve

immediately while other, deeper patterns may

take longer to release. You may feel a deep sense

of relaxation, and possibly become aware of heat,

tingling, pulsations or other sensations as changes

occur. I encourage you to communicate your

experiences as my hands follow the patterns of

movement in your body. You may become aware

of feelings of release which can result in a sense

of relaxation and well-being. These effects can

continue for some time after a session.

 

This extremely gentle therapy uses no

manipulation. I listen, using my hands, to what

is going on in your body. In this way I can

identify and relieve pain or tension in you body.

 

The session is driven by your specific needs.

Your body will set the pace of the appointment so

you will always be comfortable, in control and

able to integrate the changes that occur.

 

Craniosacral therapy is so gentle that it is safe and suitable for people of all ages—from babies to the elderly—and can be used to treat fragile and acutely painful conditions. It is often appropriate when other therapies may be unsafe. It can be used throughout pregnancy and can help post-surgical complications. As a whole body therapy, Craniosacral therapy can help people with almost any condition, by raising vitality and enabling the body's own self-healing process to be utilised. You don't have to be ill or have any particular symptoms to benefit. The alleviation of life's stresses and the increased sense of vitality and well-being that Craniosacral therapy can bring are welcome to most of us at any time.

 

You may want to consider a series of treatments to achieve the full benefits of Craniosacral therapy and its cumulative affects.
