CranialSacral Therapy
CranialSacral Therapy is a gentle, soft touch hands on approach that releases tensions deep in the body to relieve pain and dysfunction and improve health and performance to the whole body. CranialSacral Therapy is increasingly being used as a preventative health modality for its ability to strengthen the body to resistance to disease and its effectiveness in dealing with a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction. CranialSacral Therapy was developed by Dr. John Upledger over 30 years ago.
Through a light touch, restrictions in the soft tissue that surrounds the central nervous system are released. The brain and the spinal cord that make up the central nervous system have major influence over the body's ability to function properly. The cranialsacral system is made up of membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord and it greatly impacts the central nervous system.
Daily in our lives our body is bombarded with stress and strains that it must work to compensate for. These stresses and strains often cause the tissue in the body to tighten which causes imbalances in the cranialsacral system. When this happens tension forms around the brain and spinal cord causing restrictions. These restrictions diminish the healthy functioning of the central nervous system and ultimately other systems that it interacts with.
Through light touch, these restrictions can be detected and corrected in any tissue that influences the cranialsacral system. By releasing the restrictions it enhances the bodies ability to self correct and possibly alleviate a wide variety of dysfunctions. CranialSacral Therapy is performed on a person fully clothed.
