Craniosacral therapy is an offshoot of traditional osteopathic medicine and is a diagnostic and healing tool that deals with very subtle rhythm changes in the body.

It is a  'hands-on' therapy.  For treatment, you will usually lie on a treatment table and experience the very light touch of the therapist's hands. You may feel a deep sense of relaxation, and possibly become aware of heat, tingling, pulsations or other sensations.

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 tensions in your body.

Your therapy is driven by your specific needs. Your body will set the pace of the therapy 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 also be used to treat fragile and acutely painful conditions. It is often appropriate when other therapies may be unsafe - for example, during pregnancy, after an operation, fall or injury and for young babies (see below).

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 processes 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.
