Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy emerged around 100 years ago, when osteopaths realised that there were subtle forces constantly at work within the body that have a powerful healing capacity. It is a wonderful, gentle, non-invasive, holistic therapy that can help with almost any condition - physical, emotional or spiritual.
What is craniosacral therapy good for?
The therapy works with your body's own healing powers, and as such is beneficial to a great number of conditions. Some of the reasons people have come to me are:
- Accident trauma and whiplash injury
- Migraines and headaches
- Visual and auditory disturbances
- Digestive problems and IBS
- Depression and stress
- Birth trauma and baby colic
- Chronic fatigue
- Sciatica
- Neck problems
- Jaw Problems
- Asthma
- Back problems
- Sports injuries
- Arthritis and joint pain
What happens when you have craniosacral therapy?
The therapist tunes into your system through their hands while you lie down, fully clothed. When the body is relaxed, inactive and being given skilled undivided attention, it begins to take the opportunity to express and resolve its problems.
From conception each person has an original blueprint of health which the system never forgets and to which it is always trying to return. You are likely to feel deeply relaxed and may notice certain subtle sensations, or a sense of 'something happening,' often in areas of the body which have been injured, had surgery or that have not been functioning well in some way.
What is happening is the fluids of the body are beginning to gather around areas where there are restrictions and imbalances of their normal healthy flow and movement. As they do so, the system begins to find ways of releasing tensions, compressions and blocks. As layers of restrictions are addressed in this way, the tissues soften, the fluids and energy can flow in a more vital way and health is progressively restored.
To find out more or book a session
If you would like to find out more or make an appointment please call me on 01432 276966. It is not possible to know how many sessions you will need in advance, as this depends on how acute or longstanding the problems are, your overall state of health and your sense of what you need. Some people come for a few weekly sessions and that is enough to heal, others benifit from attending every month or two over a longer period of time. We can talk about your particular needs and work out an arrangement to best suit your needs.
