Craniosacral Therapy


This is a gentle treatment using less than five grams of pressure that focuses on the cranium, the spinal cord area and the sacrum.The treatment is administered on a person who is fully clothed and is an excellent choice for children and the elderly and other populations who cannot handle modalities that use deeper pressure.Craniosacral therapy works with the craniosacral system, the membranes that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord, and store cerebral spinal fluid. This important and delicate system extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth, and includes the cranium, vicerocranium, sacrum and tail bone. Since the craniosacral system directly impacts the central nervous system, it is clear that physical and emotional imbalances could lead to any number of sensory, motor, or neurological disabilities. This system also stores trauma from accidents, injuries, and variety of emotional situations. As the craniosacral system unwinds and releases the stored memories of trauma, the body can regain balance and natural freedom. Craniosacral therapy can treat the following imbalances:



Traumatic brain/spinal cord injuries
Central nervous system disorders
Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ)
Migraines and headaches
Many types of chronic neck pain
Spinal pain
Chronic pain from orthodontic procedures
Chronic inner ear imbalances
Stress related illness
