CRANIOSACRAL HEALING

What Is Craniosacral Healing?

The craniosacral concept is a powerful way of looking at how our body works, based on what we know about the body’s structure and how it functions. To use craniosacral therapy for diagnosing and treating issues, it’s important to see the person as a whole, interconnected being. This holistic approach to healing acknowledges the interconnectedness of the body, mind, and spirit, working to address both physical and emotional imbalances.

The Origins of Craniosacral Healing 

Drawing upon the principles of osteopathy, craniosacral therapy was developed by Dr. John Upledger in the 1970s. He discovered that the craniosacral system, which consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord, has its own rhythm that can be felt throughout the body. This exhibits a subtle but palpable rhythm that mirrors the body’s wellbeing. By gently manipulating the craniosacral system, practitioners aim to release restrictions and improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, thereby enhancing the body’s ability to self-heal.

Benefits of Craniosacral

Craniosacral healing is known for its ability to address a wide range of physical and emotional issues. Many people seek out craniosacral therapy for relief from conditions such as migraines, chronic pain, anxiety, and stress. By supporting the body’s natural ability to heal itself, craniosacral therapy can help to improve function, reduce inflammation, and enhance overall vitality.

Personalised Approach to Healing

During a craniosacral healing session, your practitioner engages in a process of gentle touch and observation to discern the body’s patterns of tension and restriction. One of the key strengths of craniosacral healing is its personalised approach to each individual. We understand that each person’s body is unique and will work closely with clients to address your specific needs and concerns. By fostering a sense of trust and collaboration, craniosacral therapy empowers you to take an active role in your healing journey.
