Craniosacral Therapy
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is a non-invasive and hands-on approach to healing that focuses on the craniosacral system.
Your craniosacral system protects your brain and spinal cord, and consists of your skull, spinal column, sacrum, and associated tissues.
Closely related to osteopathy, craniosacral therapy is focused on improving the circulation of cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal column..
Tension and imbalance in the craniosacral system can be caused by injury or illness. By using very gentle touch, the practitioner assesses and gently manipulates the craniosacral rhythm to support the body’s natural abilities for self-healing.
