Craniosacral Therapy
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
It is an extremely gentle ‘hands-on' therapy which actively assists the body's natural capacity for self-repair. Using no manipulation, the therapist ‘listens' via the hands to what is going on in your body and in this way identifies and helps to relieve pain or restrictions held there. For treatment, you will usually lie on a treatment table. As the therapist makes light contact, you may feel a deep sense of relaxation and become aware of heat, tingling, pulsations or other sensations.
How does it work?
In response to physical knocks or emotional stress, the body's tissues contract. If the shock is severe or is accompanied by strong emotions, the tissues may stay contracted. This contraction will be manifest as a restriction of the natural motion of the tissues and fluids within the body. A trained therapist can perceive this subtle motion in the body and can use it to identify restriction or congestion. Then, using the hands, the therapists reflects back to the body the pattern it is holding, thus providing an opportunity for the body to let go of the resistance that is maintaining the pattern, and return to a more balanced and relaxed mode of functioning.
As the body becomes conscious of its blockages and begins to release them, the energy used to hold these blockages in place is also freed. So, one of the benefits of the therapy is an increase in one's energy levels.
Who is Craniosacral Therapy suitable for?
It is suitable for people of all ages, from babies to the elderly. As it involves no manipulation, it is often appropriate when other therapies may be unsafe, such as in acutely painful conditions, during pregnancy, after an operation, accident, fall or injury and for young babies.
Treatment for babies
Babies tend to respond extremely well to treatment, and more quickly than adults. Many problems associated with babies and infants such as colic, sucking problems, breathing difficulties, restlessness and irritability may result from craniosacral imbalances caused during the birth process. Craniosacral treatment of babies and infants may help to relieve such problems.
