Craniosacral therapy focuses on the tidal ebb and flow of the fluids that enfold our brain and flow down the spine. Hence “craniosacral”. During our lifetime these tides become compromised by events that can initiate anything from deep trauma and emotional pain to minor accidents or physical discomfort. The aim of treatment is to facilitate a deep state of relaxation in which physical responses to these conditions, begin to release.
Some clients use sessions for purely physical complaints such as migraines; others may regard the freeing up of emotional and mental stuckness (perhaps reflected in physical pain or as repetitive behaviours) as part of their self-development.
On your first visit you will be asked to fill in a detailed health history followed by an informal chat. You will then be asked to lie fully clothed on a comfortable couch. The practitioner will guide you into relaxation before using a light touch of the hands to palpate or ‘listen’ to the body’s tissues. You will be encouraged to communicate anything you may feel as you relax gradually to a level beneath the surface waves and stresses of the everyday into deeper, more tranquil waters.
Each session is very different, depending on what is “brought to the table”. It may take several treatments before you are able enter into a relaxed state.
