CranioSacral Therapy is an exceptionally gentle yet extremely powerful form of treatment, increasingly recognized for the depth of its influence, the comprehensive range of its therapeutic effects, and its ability to resolve issues that are not helped by other means.

It is a profound healing process which can release the deeply held patterns of disease - both physical and psychological - which accumulate throughout life as a result of injury and illness and become locked into the body tissues, leading to ill-health and dysfunction.

It can be of benefit to most people and can help in most conditions - from minor aches and pains to severe and persistent chronic health problems.

How does it work?

CranioSacral Therapy involves a very gentle touch of the practitioners hands, both for diagnosis and for treatment. This light contact may be taken up on the cranium (the head), the sacrum (the tail-bone) or any other part of the body as appropriate, identifying subtle disturbances to the free motion of body tissues, the free circulation of body fluids, and the unrestricted flow of Qi.

This underlying vitality is expressed throughout the body as rhythmic motion - CranioSacral motion. Any disturbance to health and wellbeing - physical or psycho-emotional - influences this movement, creating asymmetries or restrictions to CranioSacral motion. The CranioSacral Therapist can therefore diagnose and identify the nature and source of the condition through the corresponding patterns expressed through the CranioSacral system.

By responding appropriately to these patterns - following the subtle internal pulls and twists manifested by the CranioSacral System until points of resistance are encountered and dissolved - the CranioSacral Therapist can facilitate the release of restrictions, thereby restoring the free flow of Qi and consequently restoring a healthy, balanced state.

How is treatment carried out?

CranioSacral Therapy is most often carried out with the client lying down, fully clothed in a quiet and peaceful environment. Treatment is usually experienced as a very profound relaxation which may pervade the whole person, physically, mentally and emotionally, often accompanied by a feeling of lightness and ease.

CranioSacral Therapy works well with acupuncture, it may be used as part of an acupuncture treatment, or given as a treatment on it's own. Either way, it is usually a very relaxing experience for you.
