Craniosacral Therapy and Visceral Manipulation

Craniosacral therapy (CST) is a gentle, hands-on approach that focuses on relieving tension in the central nervous system, promoting overall health and well-being. By using light touch to manipulate the fascia, membranes and fluids surrounding the brain and spinal cord, CST helps to release deep-seated stress and tension, improving the body's natural ability to heal.

Visceral manipulation (VM) treats the fascia surrounding the organs as it can compress causing tension to pull into the back, hip, legs or up into the head and neck. Nerves can also become compressed by fascia, this work is used to alleviate over all body tension, restoring balance and function.

CST and VM can be very helpful for anyone who has chronic headaches or TMJ dysfunction, neck and back pain, digestive issues, post surgical issues and can be particularly effective in helping people who have been through trauma of any kind. It promotes deep relaxation, making it an effective treatment for stress-related conditions like anxiety and insomnia as well.

CST it gently encourages the body to return to a state of balance. It is safe for people of all ages, from infants to the elderly, and can be particularly helpful for those who are sensitive to more intense forms of bodywork. By enhancing the body's self-regulation and healing processes, craniosacral therapy offers a holistic path to care. Book an appointment →
