Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy is a gentle touch treatment, aimed at releasing restrictions, blockages or imbalances within the central nervous system to enhance the body’s natural ability for self-regulation and repair. This treatment is ideal for reconnecting with your emotional body and reducing high stress levels.
This powerful therapy helps to regulate the autonomic nervous system by assisting the body to switch out of either a flight or fight mode or dissociated or freeze state (sympathetic dominant); into a rest, digest and repair state (parasympathetic) for rebalance and healing.
This therapy is particularly effective for those who have experienced
Prolonged periods of stress, emotional trauma, PTSD (post-traumatic stress disorder), sleep disorders, anxiety, headaches or migraines. Also ideal for those that find it hard to ‘switch off’ or suffering from regular headaches.
By reducing tension in the body and promoting a sense of calm, a Craniosacral Therapy treatment can help you feel more focused, grounded and centered.
By connecting with the cerebrospinal fluid pulse that flows between the cranium and spine, this therapy decompresses the tension of the fluid which can become quickened and unable to regulate, due to a traumatic event or ongoing stress.
During a craniosacral therapy session, our qualified therapist applies a gentle touch to specific areas of the head, cranium and spine; using techniques such as holding or cupping the bones. This helps to tap into the fluid flow, calming it down and bringing it back into equilibrium.
