CranioSacral Therapy
Your autonomic nervous system is responsible for every gland, organ system,and every nerve function. It runs from your Cranium through your Dural Tube down to your Sacrum (the bottom of your spine). Your Dural Tube carries spinal fluid up and down the tube saturating the brain and tissues of the body as it ebbs and flows on a continuous 3 second flexion and extension cycle. Your dural tube has attachments onto your spine.
If your Dural Tube becomes tweeked in any way, this limits the amount of fluid that saturates the tissues and reduces oxygen to the area.
If your central nervous system is affected structurally, emotionally, or bio-chemically, the rest of your body will then create a domino effect of symptoms or quite possibly disease. By subtly manipulating the spinal fluid through a technique called Craniosacral therapy, you may bring the body back to homeostatis (balance). Craniosacral therapy taps into a motion called the craniosacral rhythm that can be felt most strongly at your head (cranium) and the base of your spine (sacrum). The craniosacral rhythm is created by a “wave” of fluid which continuously ebbs and flows in the space around the brain and spinal cord. Because your body is connected in all its parts, the rhythm can also be felt throughout your tissues. Tension anywhere in your body can restrict the flow of the craniosacral rhythm.
Craniosacral therapy works on a profound level to support healthful changes in all the body’s systems:
The Emotional Component: Physical tension in the body may be connected to strong feelings. A hunched posture, for example, can be the result of fear experienced in the past. When the body reflexes, feelings can surface. Becoming aware of your emotions can be a very effective aid in relieving tension and pain, and can lead to long lasting improvements.
A Versatile Approach: Craniosacral therapy is suitable for all ages from infants to the elderly. Because it works with a system that most techniques don’t address, it can be an effective alternative where other therapies have not provided relief.The gentle touch of craniosacral therapy may also be a good choice for you if you have trouble relaxing, are ticklish or if massage therapy leaves you sore. Craniosacral therapy works directly with the body’s tissues, but can also have a positive effect on the energy systems that connect the body, mind and emotions.

Craniosacral therapy works on a profound level to support healthful changes in all the body’s systems:
- Nervous system: Releasing tension that blocks the craniosacral rhythm can deeply calm the nervous system. Stress related conditions often improve, including anxiety, insomnia, digestive problems and depression, as well as menstrual irregularities, breathing difficulties and headaches. In addition visual problems, hearing difficulties, and injuries to the head or spinal cord can improve. Craniosacral therapy has been particularly helpful in treating children with birth trauma, learning difficulties, chronic ear problems, and hyperactivity.
- Circulatory system: As you relax, circulation improves, resulting in a host of beneficial effects. These include increased energy, reduced pain improved immune system, injuries such as whiplash.
- Musculoskeletal system: Craniosacral therapy provides relief for many painful musculoskeletal conditions. Even complex problems such as TMJD, fibromyalgia and arthritis, as well as sciatica or scoliosis often respond well to this gentle but profound therapy.
