Medical Massage and Craniosacral Therapy for Chronic Illness

WHAT TO EXPECT: Craniosacral Therapy

Craniosacral Therapy is a subtle yet effective hands on therapy. In many patients, a restriction or disruption can occur in the natural flow of the cerebral spinal fluid leaving after effects that can range from headaches to chronic pain and other chronic conditions. A trained practitioner in the technique and art of craniosacral therapy, can detect these areas of restrictions or disruptions and can help release the fluid in order to restore balance, eliminating or minimizing symptoms of chronic illness. Craniosacral therapy enhances immune system function promoting healing and increased treatment responses.

The therapy consists of light touch (the weight of a nickel) and gentle manipulation on areas of the head, neck and throughout the body. During your session, you can expect to feel relaxed, sleepy or even energized. This treatment is becoming increasingly more sought after to help in the management of pain due to its non-invasive nature and long lasting effects.
