Cranio-Sacral Therapy

All living, healthy tissues "breathe" with the motion of life. This movement produces rhythmic impulses that originate in the fluids and tissues of the central nerve system and are conveyed throughout the body via a vast network of connective tissue. Tension, tightness and energetic restriction in the body reveal places where this "breath" is diminished leading to a less than optimal physiological functioning of the tissues. By palpating the body's rhythms with sensitive hands, the Cranio-Sacral therapist is directed to these areas of restriction.

Through gentle contacts on the sacrum, on the cranium and elsewhere in the body, the practitioner encourages the return of breath to places that have been cast out, walled off or isolated. During the process physical and emotional traumas that have contributed to forming these tensions are revealed, released and reintegrated. Before these areas were a drain to the system, now their trapped energy is released and is available to you. The physiological functioning of all tissues in the body improves as they breathe with the motion of life.
