What
is Craniosacral Therapy ?
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, yet effective "hands
on" therapy. It works by the therapist feeling very
small rhythms or waves within the client's body. We are
not normally aware of these movements ourselves, but the
therapist, by using a trained touch, is able to sense
them.
When
the body is not functioning well, due to perhaps illness
or pain, these rhythms of the body are interrupted. A
craniosacral therapist can detect the imbalances that
result. Using a very light touch, he can encourage the
body system to return to a better state.
What
happens in a treatment ?
In a craniosacral therapy session, the treatment is carried
out through the patient's clothing. You will normally
lie on a treatment table. You may experience a sense of
pleasant relaxation as the therapy is working.
Many of my clients say they feel a state of deep relaxation
and find that, in time, the treatments leave them physically
and emotionally stronger.
How
can it help?
The therapy can be used to help with a wide range of problems.

Craniosacral
therapy can be used to treat many of the musculo-skeletal
problems that would normally be treated by deep massage
or manipulation but in a gentler way, giving long lasting
results.
