CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, non invasive therapy that promotes health and wellness.  A light touch is used to gently encourage the body to release any sort of stress and tension. Using a soft touch, usually no heavier than the weight of a nickel, practitioners can release restrictions in the craniosacral system improving the flow and circulation of cerebrospinal fluid that bathes and nourishes the brain and spinal cord. Overall, CranioSacral Therapy can strengthen your body’s ability to take better care of you!  A wonderful side effect of a treatment is deep relaxation.

Pediatric CranoSacral Therapists recognize that even the most natural of births is stressful for the skull and spine of the baby being born, however this is especially true when the birth has been traumatic, requiring interventions such as forceps, vacuum extraction or caesarean sections.   Because CranioSacral therapy is so gentle it can be performed at birth or within the first few days of life. It’s non-invasive and clothing doesn’t have to be removed. The therapist provides gentle hand contacts, typically on your baby’s head, back and pelvis, to locate areas of tightness or decreased movement and uses very gentle suggestions to help your baby’s body function more effectively. CranioSacral therapy has been found to help with sleep issues, reflux, colic, breast feeding problems, ear infections, irritability, and can relieve areas tension from the birthing process. In older children, conditions that have responded well to Craniosacral Therapy include asthma, autism, behavioral and emotional problems, and hyperactivity.
