What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is an offshoot of Osteopathic Medicine. It is a gentle and deeply restorative hands-on type of bodywork using subtle movement and touch to create drastic improvements within the your body. It is best described as an anatomically precise type of bodywork that is approached energetically. The sessions are nurturing and non-invasive, aimed at helping you access your full potential of health and being. Our Craniosacral System covers the area from the cranium (our head) to the sacrum (our tail), consisting of soft tissue, membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that help to protect the brain, spinal cord. This system is dynamic, fluid and deeply regulating. It carries within it great intelligence, and all that the body really needs is to reconnect to this original source of wellbeing.
