CranioSacral Therapy
CranioSacral in the News! Ariana Huffington's interview with the President of Aetna.
The CranioSacral System from the top of the head to the tail bone, and all along the spine.
What is CranioSacral Therapy?
What are the Benefits of CranioSacral Therapy?
- CranioSacral Therapy is a hands-on therapy that assists in balancing the nervous system from the cranium (the head) to the tailbone (the sacrum).
- CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle method of finding and correcting deep tension, restrictions and imbalances in the craniosacral system that extends from the head (cranium) to the lower back and tail bone (sacral area), along the spine.
- These deep tensions, restrictions and imbalances can be from injuries, accidents, stress, trauma, emotional events, surgery, scar tissue, difficult birth, learning disabilities, and other reasons or conditions.
What are the Benefits of CranioSacral Therapy?
- CranioSacral Therapy may assist in relief from headaches, neck & back pain, sciatica, chronic pain or tension anywhere in the body, TMJ and many other conditions.
- There may be emotional releases, as well, done in a safe environment and a safe method.
- Using a technique called "unwinding the meridians" (acupuncture / energy pathways of traditional chinese medicine), the practitioner can assist the body in releasing stagnant energy that relates to the organs and processes of the body. This is similar to Acupuncture, without the needles!
- CranioSacral Therapy is a deeply relaxing and gentle hands-on therapy.
- CranioSacral Therapy is done on a massage table with the client fully clothed.
- The CranioSacral rhythm is assessed first. Then various, gentle hands-on techniques, learned in the Upledger Classes I have taken, are used to help correct the imbalances found depending on where these tensions and restrictions are located.
Please note that CranioSacral Therapy Sessions are 1 hour and the fee is $90.00 payable with Venmo, cash or check.
