CranioSacral Therapy

The Art of CranioSacral Therapy

Stressful and painful experiences are a part of life. The process of self-healing is becoming increasingly recognized as the most important part of the healing process, whether the illness is physiological or psychological in nature. CranioSacral Therapy offers a soft-touch therapeutic approach to helping the body self-correct and heal.I am a licensed massage therapist with expertise in the application of CranioSacral therapy. I received my training from the Upledger Institute in West Palm Beach, Florida. The Upledger Institute is an organization dedicated to researching and training health care professionals in the art of CranioSacral Therapy, as well as a treatment center for brain and spinal cord injuries.

The Technique

The CranioSacral system consists of the bones of the cranium, spine, sacrum, and the cerebral spinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal column. This fluid is in a constant process of creation and reabsorbtion creating a dynamic rhythm which radiates throughout the body. The rate, amplitude, symmetry and quality of the rhythm gives distinct information about the health and functioning of the entire body.

As this self-correcting system is perceived and supported by the trained practitioner it begins to spontaneously process corrections and readjustments. These may take the form of physical movements, emotional releases, deep relaxation or regional tissue release.
