Craniosacral Therapy

About This Treatment

Craniosacral therapy is a series of gentle massage-like manipulations of the skull, spinal column and sacrum. The goal of this bodywork is to relieve compression in these areas which in turn alleviates stress and pain throughout the body.

Craniosacral therapy can decrease stress from chronic injuries as well as provide relief from pain due to migraines, TMJ syndrome and other disorders of the neck and back.

How does craniosacral therapy work?

Every day, you endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. Your body can only handle so much tension before its tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. This tension can compromise the function of the central nervous system - and the performance of nearly every other system in your body. Craniosacral therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct.

A gentle natural approach to pain relief

By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, craniosacral therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being. And because it's so gentle, craniosacral therapy can be effective for all ages, from newborns to elders.
