Craniosacral
Craniosacral Technique refers to the link between the cranium (head) and sacrum (the bone at the base of the spine). The craniosacral therapist is skilled at feeling the subtle movement as well as detecting areas of restriction in the skull, spine, sacrum, joints and muscles. Areas of restriction lead to decrease in nerve transmission, flow of vital fluids and then to symptoms of pain, fatigue and poor health. Because craniosacral therapy is unique in focusing on the central nervous system and its supporting components, it can be amazingly effective in relieving pain and dysfunction that other treatments have not helped. During a session, you will lie comfortably on a massage table fully clothed except for shoes and jewelry. Please wear comfortable clothes! The touch is extremely gentle and sensitive, so your treatment will be relaxing and enjoyable
