What is Craniosacral Therapy?
This therapy was discovered and developed by a few osteopathic physicians. Essentially the practitioner places his/her hands on various parts of the body with the pressure of a nickel, to feel for a particular rhythm that occurs in the body produced by pressure changes in the brain cavities and spinal cord space. It is a rhythm like the heart, where it is continuous but can create irregular patterns in the body causing disease and dysfunction.
The job of the therapist is to create a normal pattern in these pressure changes by lightly manipulating the skin and the underlying tissues. It is very gentle and relaxing, but can produce deep and profound results.
This therapy is very good for children, considering they are so sensitive, but any person suffering with disease can benefit from this therapy.
