What is Cranio-Sacral Massage Therapy?
Craniosacral massage, also known as craniosacral therapy is based on the thought process the that central nervous system can be impacted by rhythmic movements of the cerebrospinal fluid (a clear fluid that surrounds and protects the brain and spinal cord). Gentle yet deep touch is used to detect and release any restrictions in cerebrospinal fluid, restoring balance to the central nervous system. This is just one of the many modalities that may be used during your tailored treatment plan. Ultimately the goal with craniosacral massage is to improve the natural healing process in the body to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
How Does CranioSacral Therapy Work?
During a craniosacral therapy session, you’ll typically start with your therapist using gentle touch to feel the rhythm of the craniosacral system, allowing them to identify any areas of restriction/tension. Once identified, delicate movements are used to release these blockages, restoring the central nervous system function.
