What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Owner Rachel Carter discusses what Craniosacral Therapy is and how it is beneficial to healing.
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle, hands-on approach used by trained practitioners to enhance the body’s natural healing processes. By applying light touch to the skull, spine, and pelvis, this therapy aims to improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid. In doing so we alleviate tension in the central nervous system. Increasingly recognized for its potential benefits in addressing various physical and emotional conditions, craniosacral therapy offers a non-invasive alternative to support overall well-being and promote relaxation.
It is rooted in the concept that the body possesses an inherent ability to heal itself. By facilitating the movement of cerebrospinal fluid, we can help restore balance and harmony to the body. During a typical session, the practicitioner gently assesses and manipulates the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord.
Common applications of craniosacral therapy include the treatment of headaches, neck pain, stress-related disorders, and even conditions such as fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue syndrome. Additionally, it has been noted for its effectiveness in promoting emotional release and enhancing mental clarity.
Overall, craniosacral therapy serves as a complementary therapy within the broader scope of healthcare. It focuses on emphasizing a holistic approach to treatment and healing. Whether seeking relief from specific ailments or aiming to improve general wellness, many individual find value in this nurturing therapeutic practice.
