Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a light touch therapy born out the work of several pioneering osteopathic physicians over the last hundred years. Our understanding and application of this modality continues to evolve and grow as does its acceptance globally as a powerful healing technique.
Clients are encouraged to wear comfortable fitting clothes (as you would for working out) and receive this work laying on a massage table. The therapist uses various light touch holds around the body and works with the cranio-sacral rhythm they observe in the client. In turn, the clients body, and more specifically, their central nervous system (which is housed in the area from the cranium through the spine to the sacrum) is prompted to go into its self-healing mode. Consider, when we get a cut on out arm... we don't need to tell our bodies to heal the area, yet, in a few days it is completely repaired! It is this healing force that is actively at work during a cranio-sacral treatment.
The healing that takes place during a cranio-sacral treatment does not come from the practitioner, rather, it comes from a place that resides in each and every one of us. The practitioner is trained to hold space for this healing to occur.
Cranio-sacral therapy has the potential to address an extensive list of conditions that adversely affect one's quality of life, including, but not limited to; physical pain from trauma, anxiety, sleeplessness, release/transforming of unwanted energies, stress relief, digestive issues, headaches and much more...
