What is Craniosacral therapy and how can it help?!

Welcome to Massage Matters, this post we'll give you an overview of craniosacral therapy, its benefits, and what you can expect when you visit one of our practitioners.

Craniosacral therapy is a type of bodywork that uses gentle touch to manipulate the skull and sacrum (the triangular bone located at the base of the spine). By applying light pressure to these areas, practitioners believe that they can release tension and improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which is thought to promote healing and relieve pain throughout the body.

This therapy can be used to treat a wide range of conditions including headaches, migraines, back pain, chronic fatigue, stress, and other conditions. It is a non-invasive and gentle approach that is suitable for people of all ages, including babies and children. The practitioner will use light touch to evaluate the cranial rhythm, or the subtle pulsation of the cerebrospinal fluid that surrounds the brain and spinal cord. After the session, some people may feel a sense of deep relaxation and increased well-being. Some may also notice an improvement in their symptoms, such as less pain or tension.

Craniosacral therapy is a form of complementary or alternative therapy, which means that it should not be used as a substitute for conventional medical treatment. It is always important to consult with a licensed healthcare professional before trying any new therapy.

If you are interested in experiencing the benefits of craniosacral therapy, we recommend that you schedule an appointment with one of our certified practitioners. During your first visit, the practitioner will conduct a thorough evaluation and discuss your health history and any current concerns. After that, the practitioner will use gentle touch techniques to manipulate your skull and sacrum, with the aim of releasing any tension and promoting the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.
