Craniosacral Therapy

Service Description

CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle, natural, hands-on therapy that utilizes the body’s own innate self-corrective abilities to restore balance and wellness in the soft tissue which affects the nervous system. Originally, when osteopathic physicians (D.O.’s) practiced manual manipulative medicine, the emphasis was on creating balance in the musculoskeletal system and CST was just one of many techniques in the osteopathic filed. Muscle energy, counterstrain, visceral manipulation, and myofascial release were all part of the foundation of osteophathic medical education. After the founder of Osteopathy died in 1917, the emphasis on manual therapy began to diminish, the use of pharmaceuticals was introduced, and mostly allopathic(M.D.) disease approach to health took over osteopathic though. However, in the last few decades, manual therapies like craniosacral therapy have been re-discovered by healthcare practitioners from around the world. Using a gentle touch, the therapist works with the soft tissue or fascia that connects and integrates with all other structures of the body. Using the cranial tide/rhythm and determining the degree of free mobility of fascia, the therapist can identify areas of dysfunction and immobility. Musculo-skeletal strains are often not observable through conventional medical evaluations until disease begins to appear. The therapist’s goal is to enhance craniosacral and fascial motion to free up restrictions in the body, which relieves stress, decrease pain and improves overall health. A properly functioning fascial system assists the central nervous system in becoming more relaxed, capable, and resilient for the individual throughout life. As clients discover that there can be relief for their chronic aches and acute pains, feelings of frustration, discouragement and confusion are often relieved as well.
