Craniosacral Therapy

Service Description

What is Craniosacral Therapy? A light touch therapy that works with the tissues around the sacrum, along the spine, and around the bones of the cranium. It is used to facilitate tissue movement, release tension in the body, improve nerve flow and create optimal production/reabsorption of cerebrospinal fluid. If your body is stuck in "fight or flight" (sympathetic) it will help you release energy and move your nervous system into "rest and digest" (parasympathetic). Craniosacral Therapy is for every BODY (kids and adults) and has SO many benefits, including, but not limited to: - Migraine Headaches - Chronic Neck and Back Pain - Colic - Autism - ADHD - PMS - TMJ - Central Nervous System Disorders - Orthopedic Problems - Concussions and Traumatic Brain Injuries - Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia - Spinal Cord Injuries - Scoliosis - Chronic Fatigue - Stress and Tension-Related Problems - Fibromyalgia and Connective-Tissue Disorders - Immune Disorders - Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder - Post-Surgical Dysfunction Craniosacral Therapy addresses the rhythm, flow and pulse of our cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), nervous system and movement of the Dura Mater surrounding the brain. It’s a gentle and deeply intuitive practice, and as essential, measurable, and tangible as our breath and heart rate. The results are sublime relaxation and relief. Ideally, the cerebrospinal fluid should have a consistent pattern of movement. When the membranes and fluids of the Dura Mater flow with constant rhythm, the brain and spinal cord are adequately lubricated with cerebrospinal fluid. The Dura Mater, also called the dural tube, is the fascia encasing the brain and spinal cord. The dural tube delivers nutrients to the central nervous system and circulates hormones, neurotransmitters, and immune cells. A well-nourished central nervous system, having all of its structures in balance, will function optimally. An unbalanced central nervous system increases the chance of developing pain and illness. What to Expect: Wear comfortable clothes. You will remain dressed, resting comfortably on a massage table for your session. A relaxing head massage and essential oils are included.
