Craniosacral Therapy
At your appointment, a case history is taken and you lay down for treatment, fully clothed. If your level of discomfort doesn’t allow you to lay down, or if children just don’t see the point, then treatment is adjusted to accommodate this.
People find craniosacral therapy helps address a wide range of ailments – aches & pains, injuries, immobility, migraine, vertigo… It’s a very relaxing experience and is ideal for de-stressing and easing tension. It is well known for the treatment of new-born babies especially, but not exclusively, after a difficult birth and for children who suffer with catarrh and glue ear.
Developed from work by an American osteopath, William Sutherland, in the early 1900’s, craniosacral therapy is a very gentle hands-on therapy. Holding the patient at various points on the body or head, the practitioner feels minute movements of the bones, subtle rhythms of the body and restrictions which may be causing physical discomfort or emotional tension.
Sometimes, the touch may be so light that the patient barely feels it. This makes it very suitable for even the most fragile patient. It is not to be confused with massage of any kind or Reiki, and it doesn’t involve the physical manipulations associated with osteopathy.
