Cranio-sacral therapy is a very gentle hands-on treatment which supports and enhances the body's own natural healing ability and inherent vitality.

During a treatment session you will remain fully clothed and will be treated lying on a couch. After an initial consultation to understand more about your reasons for treatment, the therapist will use a very gentle touch to contact your body system at various key areas. These may be anywhere from the top of your head to the tip of your toes, it depends what the body needs and where your system guides the therapist.

A cranio-sacral therapist will use their hands to listen to your body to identify where there might be areas of tension or blockage within the system. These restrictions may have a physical cause, such as whiplash from a car accident, or may have emotional origins, perhaps from a bereavement or traumatic experience.

Just as the causes for tension in the body may vary, so too can the symptoms which may develop. For example, stiffness in the neck may be caused by a physical injury, or from long-held emotional stress, which can cause muscular tension. Whatever the cause or the symptom, the cranio-sacral therapist will tune into your system, sensing, feeling and listening for where and how the body needs help to assist its own inherent healing capabilities.

Cranio-sacral therapy allows your body the space, time and help it needs to dissolve, soften and release the various blockages and tensions it may be holding. In this way it can help the body restore the underlying vitality, which is in us all, helping you to return to a place of greater health, wellbeing and balance.

Because cranio-sacral therapy is client-led, meaning that the therapist is guided by what the body wants and needs, the pace of treatment is always set by you, allowing you to feel comfortable and in-control throughout.

The incredibly gentle yet profound nature of cranio-sacral therapy means that it may be helpful in almost any condition, and can be used to treat anyone from newborn babies to the very elderly, and everyone in between! Its gentle approach makes it suitable for acute and sensitive conditions, post-operatively, and during pregnancy, when other forms of treatment may be too invasive. However, you do not have to have something "wrong" to come for cranio-sacral therapy, you can enjoy its balancing, revitalising benefits at any time, and use it simply to enhance your current good health.
