Cranial Sacral Therapy
This therapy releases inner tension from the cranial system when can affect the entire body. The body is able to relax and return to a peaceful state after experiencing challenging or stressful life situations. The importance of this therapy for children and adults who are involved in sports or who have incurred a head injury or concussion is extremely beneficial. Personality changes, strange behaviors and depression can be helped.
Craniosacral system is the protective and supportive environment for the brain and spinal cord, consisting of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that extend from the skull to the sacrum. It has a natural rhythm that can be assessed with gentle touch. The body has its blueprint of health and knows how to correct imbalances.
The cerebrospinal fluid circulates within the membranes, providing nourishment and protection. These inner membranes can become tense and distorted causing restrictions in the flow of fluid affecting the nervous systems and other systems.
The CSF acts as a shock absorber, cushioning the brain and spinal cord from impacts and preventing the brain from pressing against the skull.. It provides buoyancy reducing the brain's to minimize mechanical stress on tissues and blood vessels. It provides nutrient delivery, waste clearance and homeostasis.
Craniosacral therapy may be used for a wide range of conditions including migraines, chronic pain, stress and motor-coordination impairments. It can be used as a complementary therapy to help improve overall health and well-being.
Restoring the flow of the CSF a person can experience a peace and calmness in the body itself. Therefore, allowing the focus of the mind to relax and slow down. I highly encourage this for everyone, even just for tune ups to keep the body flexible and releasing built up tension.
A session is about 1 hr which includes the whole body integration. The client lays on a table fully clothed with a blanket. Most often the client falls asleep. This is the best rest ever. Many people go very deep and can be aware of what's happening. Either way the person receives what is unique to them, awaking with a refreshed and renewed feeling of energy. The session continues to balance for 24 hours until it reached a plateau.
