CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
What is craniosacral therapy? and how does it work?
It's a gentle and profound body therapy. Your body is quietly listened to and offered a space in which it can transform and heal itself. It's as simple and as powerful as that!
It was developed by osteopaths over 100 years ago in America. Dr Andrew Taylor Still reputedly first learnt these skills from the Cherokee Indians. His successors, Dr William Garner Sutherland and Dr Rollin Becker, then further developed the craniosacral methods, realising the deep healing effects that craniosacral work can have on the human body.
​
'Cranio' relates to the head/cranium and 'sacral' to the sacrum - the triangular bone at the base of the spine. These are the two poles of the nervous system. Craniosacral therapy works very much with our nervous systems and assists in balancing the sympathetic (get up and go!) with the parasympathetic (rest + recuperation) parts of the nervous system. The body starts to work as a whole system rather than in fragmented parts and overall healing is promoted.
