Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy or Cranial Osteopathy is a gentle, hands-on technique used to evaluate and enhance the function of the whole body.  Very light pressure is applied to various parts of the body to allow muscles to release tension, to relieve restriction in joints and tender points and to balance and align the fluid systems in the body.  The terms “cranial” and “sacral” give the clue that this type of treatment addresses the connections that exist from our heads to the base of our spines and all the body parts that are served by those central structures.  Although these treatments may focus on the head and spinal column, because the whole system is involved, the gentle touch includes head to toe attention.
