Cranio Sacral Therapy

Cranio Sacral Therapy is a holistic modality that is grounded in our own physical body’s self-corrective system. This system is known as the Cranio Sacral System which includes the bones of the cranium (skull), nerves, fluids, connective tissue of the cranium, the spine and the sacrum.

This therapy uses soft and gentle, light-touch over the body connecting with the Cranio (cranium-skull) Sacral (sacrum) Rhythm. These distinctive techniques are used to release restrictions within our body that are shown in our fascia. Fascia is a thin membrane that surrounds every bone, organ, tissue, and muscle of our body. Therefore, when we receive harm whether physical, mental of emotional, it is stored in the body which affects our fascia which in turn alters the Cranio Sacral rhythm in our bodies. Sometimes dysfunction occurs in an area completely different from where we received the harm. Therefore, Cranio Sacral Therapy is great therapy to release stored tensions throughout the body for proper functioning, health and wellness. On a whole, Cranio Sacral Therapy also assists in balancing the Central Nervous System of our body to promote promote proper function of the body.

Recent studies show that Cranio Sacral therapy changes brain wave patterns to those that promote higher levels of healing.
