Craniosacral therapy is a bodywork modality that uses gentle touch to palpate the body and listen to the health of bones, fluids and tissue that directly affect the health of the central nervous system. By listening to a client’s body in a noninvasive way, a practitioner can feel the soft tissue surrounding the central nervous system and help release deeply stored tension. When the bones, fluids and tissue surrounding the central nervous system move more freely, one can experience a significant reduction in pain and an increase in the overall function of the body. The nervous system is the core of our structure and when its health is compromised, the entire body cannot function optimally. CranioSacral therapy helps the body regain health by assisting the nervous system to become more vital and resilient. This modality is unique in the way that it helps the body come back to its natural state of health without any force or manipulation. As a practitioner, I look for the health already present in the system and utilize the body’s resources to help itself come back to wholeness.
