Introduction
|
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, non-invasive therapy which enhances physiological functions by the use of sensitive and gentle mobilisation of the Craniosacral system. It is based on findings about the body’s subtle make up by osteopaths in the USA over 80 years ago.
The Craniosacral system extends from the bones of the cranium, the skull, to the sacrum at the base of the spine and extends to every cell of the body via connective tissue. It also comprises cerebrospinal fluid, which bathes and cushions the brain and spinal cord in a tide-like ebb and flow. When this fluid is allowed to move freely around the central nervous system, it promotes a state of well-being, health and balance. |

How it works
Sometimes the gentlest approach can achieve the most profound effect.
With Craniosacral therapy, you stay fully clothed while a the therapist places a hand on you. This gentle ‘listening’ touch (palpation) encourages various areas to release and relax, and monitors the response of your body.
The ability to ‘palpate’, to ‘feel’ the subtle, rhythmic force of the Craniosacral system, allows the therapist to discern your body’s own resources of health. Craniosacral therapy works with your body to magnify and reinforce its natural tendency to heal itself.

What it can do
|
We all know someone with a health problem where no treatment seems to help. There are numerous conditions which can destroy the quality of life; conditions which are often difficult to diagnose let alone treat.
Craniosacral therapy can provide effective treatment for many ailments and there are no side effects. Craniosacral therapy ‘channels’ the body’s own healing resources to treat a wide variety of conditions. Real success has been achieved with symptoms like back pain, migraine, stress related illnesses, colic in babies, digestive problems, chronic pain, tinnitus, ME, autism. As well as being helped with specific suffering, patients also tend to feel much better in themselves generally. |
