Craniosacral Therapy
What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy derived out of osteopathic medicine. It is a non-invasive approach to healing and wellness that focuses on the gentle manipulation of the craniosacral system, which includes the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid surrounding the brain and spinal cord. By applying light touch and skilled techniques, our practitioners aim to release restrictions, alleviate tension, and promote better flow of the cerebrospinal fluid. The ultimate goal is for you to feel relaxed and in less pain.
