Craniosacral Therapy

Osteopathic Manual Practitioners have learned to palpate a craniosacral rhythmic motion of approximately eight to twelve cycles per minute. It is thought that this rhythmic motion is a result of the fluctuation of cerebrospinal fluid in the brain and spinal cord. This movement is not only felt in the cranium and spinal column as it is expressed all throughout the body.  The presence and strength of this motion helps to decipher the vitality of the tissues.

How is Craniosacral Therapy beneficial?

• By improving this rhythmic motion the liquid within the brain and spinal cord improves which helps to nourish the nerve tissue within these structures. As well, nerve tension and strain can be decreased

• It can help people who have been subjected to:

  • Viruses

  • Spinal epidurals

  • Toxicity

  • Inflammation

Craniosacral therapy helps to balance the nervous system as a whole and can help improve calmness in the body.
