Craniosacral

 

Craniosacral work is gentle, it is non-invasive and it is holding space.  A development of Cranial Osteopathy (introduced by William Sutherland, DO), the work is done by gently placing hands and intention, applying about five grams of pressure (the weight of a nickel), listening to the subtle information and following its rhythm.  The idea is that if we slow down enough and listen, the body can reveal to the self what it needs.


The craniosacral system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord, and the membranes, structures and fluid that house and protect them.  This system filters all of the information going in and out of the brain.  Working with this system can help to relieve restrictions in any of these structures.

You may use this work for both general relaxation and for specific issues.  Typically, it has been used to relieve TMD (temporomandibular joint dysfunction), neck and back tension, joint problems, asthma, fibromyalgia and other auto immune diseases, migraines, headaches, vertigo, dyslexia, allergies, Autism, ADD/ADHD and depression among many other conditions.

Craniosacral work can be a wonderful way to calm the nervous system and assist in restoring the self to its natural balance.
