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.
