What is cranial sacral therapy?
Cranial Sacral Therapy is a gentle treatment approach that works with the natural self-correcting mechanism
of the body and the cranial sacral system, which includes the membranes and fluids that surround the brain and spinal
cord.
It detects and releases restrictions in mobility and enhances overall function. The rhythmic
movement of the cranial sacral system can be palpated and used to determine the core issues so that treatment can focus on
the cause rather than the symptoms.
Cranial sacral therapy is a gentle hands-on method of enhancing the flow of cerebralspinal fluid, blood,
and lymph. Thus, it facilitates the body's natural healing.
Studies of yogis in India have led to the idea that cranial sacral therapy opens the prana vayus spoken
about in yoga, thus enhancing overall well-being in mind, body, and spirit.
Those with whom I have shared cranial sacral therapy have expressed feeling relaxed, pain free, light,
refreshed, and mellow.
