What is Craniosacral Therapy?

It is a gentle, supportive therapy that uses light touch on areas such as the head, spine, abdomen and limbs. It works with your body to restore and balance the nervous system, to promote healing, and improve all round health. It's origins stem from Osteopathic techniques developed in the 19th century. 

Craniosacral therapy is suitable for everybody from babies to the elderly and is often described as deeply relaxing. It can help release tension held throughout the body, and support the body's ability to reduce stress, increase energy and promote a sense of well-being.

Sessions are suitable for a range of issues from muscle and joint pain, to sleep disturbances, chronic  conditions and stress related complaints.

What to Expect From a Session

The first part of the appointment will be talking about your general health, medical history, and what has brought you to craniosacral therapy. You will then usually lie down and get comfortable on the treatment couch. All session work can be done through clothing, so you will only need to remove your shoes. 

The treatment is light touch and gentle pressure, and the practitioner will talk through each stage of the session.
