Life expresses itself as movement. If you place the hands on the body gently you can feel the continuous movement of the rib cage with each breath; of the arterial pulse with each heart beat - and if you are sensitive enough to what you feel under your finger tips you may feel something else.

Expressed throughout the body is a slow tide like movement as the tissues in the body swell and narrow with fluid- these slow movements can be felt anywhere on the body and have been recorded with scientific tools. This movement sometimes feels as though its being restricted in one place or another - this is an indicator of an injury or an old strain pattern. In Craniosacral therapy we use these subtle movements to diagnose and treat the body. We help enhance movement where it is lacking or weak. With the simplest and lightest of touch the body is able to respond at a deep level.

What kind of symptoms respond best to Craniosacral Therapy? Anecdotal evidence shows craniosacral therapy may be helpful in addressing such situations as impingement of cranial nerves or spinal nerves, left-right imbalances, head injuries, confusion, feelings of compression or pressure, anxiety, depression, circulatory disorders, organ dysfunctions, learning difficulties, neuro-endocrine problems, TMJ and dental problems, and trauma of all kinds — birth, falls, accidents and other injuries, physical, sexual or emotional abuse, PTSD, loss/grief, surgery, anesthesia, among others. Craniosacral therapy is also excellent as a preventive therapy because it can facilitate the resolution of imbalances within a patient/client's system that s/he may not be consciously aware of.

Craniosacral therapy is a profound, deep and yet very gentle form of treatment that can help injuries, digestive problems and bring greater health to the body. It is suitable for all ages but is particularly beneficial for babies and children that parent's suspect are still suffering from a difficult birth -and Craniosacral therapy can also be helpful during pregnancy to support the continual changes occurring emotionally and physically and to balance the pelvis and low back in preparation for birth. These are areas where craniosacral treatment can be beneficial however we have many clients who have old injuries that respond well to this kind of treatment where other therapies have not been successful.
