CranialSacral Therapy
Cranial Sacral Therapy uses gentle and subtle palpation skills to assess movement patterns, enhance the inherent tendency of the body to self correct, and treat restriction while evaluating the cranial rhythm. Apart from freeing restrictions of the cranium, membranes, sacrum and fascia, this technique has a powerful influence on the autonomic nervous system, relaxing your body at a cellular level.
The interrelationship of structure and function is demonstrated by the Sacro-Cranial Technique in the treatment of some chronic, physical, developmental and behavioral problems. Many aspects of the technique can be used ad hoc by a therapist to compliment their normal treatment or the whole technique can be employed as a valuable alternative therapy.
By complementing the body’s natural healing processes, Cranial Sacral Therapy is increasingly used as a preventive health measure for its ability to bolster resistance to disease, and is effective for a wide range of medical problems associated with pain and dysfunction, including:
