Cranial Sacral
Is a gentle, non invasive healing modality that focuses on relieving compression in the bones of the skull and spinal column including the sacrum. It focuses on the wave-like, rhythmic pulse that flows through the entire body in the spinal canal and through the skull. The pulse is generated from movement of cerebral spinal fluid through the dural system in the spinal canal.
Through gentle pressure on the head, neck and back blockages can be released, relieving stress and pain from compression. This compression can be caused from many things including motor vehicle accidents, physical and emotional trauma, repeated poor movement patterns of overuse, concussions, and even trauma from the birth canal in childbirth.
In a typical session that can last up to an hour, the patient lies quietly on their back, fully clothed while the therapist applies light contact to vairious points along the spine. No forceful pressure is used.
Common experiences for the patient are a deep sense of peace and wellbeing, deep relaxation, relief of tension and headaches and feeling more balanced. Typically patients are seen for 4-10 sessions. People of all ages can be seen for this treatment.
