What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral Therapy is truly holistic, recognising that the mental, emotional and physical levels of the body all form an integrated whole. Craniosacral Therapy supports your body's innate ability to balance, restore and heal itself, as well as helping to reduce stress and helping to build your core energy.

Born from Osteopathy, Craniosacral Therapy uses a gentle touch to assist the body’s own potential to heal and release restrictions and stresses.

During your first session your therapist will take a written case history, listening with care to the reasons for your visit. This part of the session is important to gather information and establish a good understanding with your therapist.

Sessions typically last an hour, although this can vary.

You remain fully clothed and lay face up, but this position can be adapted to suit your particular needs.

The therapist makes light contact with your head, the base of your spine and other areas, allowing you to lie still and relax.

The therapist listens attentively to the subtle rhythmic movements within your system; these can be felt as gentle pulsations or waves flowing throughout your body. By acknowledging these natural rhythms, the practitioner supports your innate ability for self-healing.

No two sessions are the same, so after your session you may feel deeply relaxed, sleepy or energised.
