Cranio-Sacral Therapy is performed on a person fully clothed. Using a light touch – generally no more than the weight of a nickel – the practitioner monitors the rhythm of the cranio-sacral system to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas and relieve undue pressure on the brain and spinal cord.

The Cranio-Sacral Therapy strengthens your body’s ability to take better care of you. It helps alleviate a range of illness, pain and dysfunction, including: Migraines and Headaches, Chronic Neck and Back Pain, Motor-Coordination Impairments, Stress and Tension-Related Problems, Infantile Disorders, Traumatic Brain and Spinal Cord Injuries, Chronic Fatigue, Scoliosis, Central Nervous System Disorders, Emotional Difficulties, Temporomandibular Joint Syndrome (TMJ), Learning Disabilities, Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder, Orthopedic Problems, and many other conditions.

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a gentle method of detection and correction that encourages your own natural healing mechanisms to dissipate these negative effects of stress on your central nervous system. You also benefit from better overall health and resistance to disease.
