What Happens During a Craniosacral Therapy Treatment Session?
A craniosacral therapist is trained to 'listen' to what is going on in the body using very light manual contact. The therapist is then able to use this contact to help identify and assist the release of pain and tension in the body.
It sometimes takes a few sessions to get used to the process, so it is often beneficial to consider having a series of treatments to discover the benefits and effects of craniosacral therapy.
How does it work?
The body’s tissues contract in response to physical strains such as whiplash injuries and accidents/falls or emotional stress. Tensions remaining in the body restrict its
function and this can lead to the
development of problems such as arthritis; muscular aches and pains; Low Back Pain; Sciatica; frozen shoulder.
Restrictions can be felt by the therapist
and helped to release.
