CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle hands-on method of evaluating and enhancing the function of the craniosacral system-comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain & spinal cord. Using a soft touch practitioners release restrictions in the craniosacral system, which improves function of the central nervous system & other systems including digestive, musculoskeletal, respiratory, circulatory, and more. It can also help with somatic conditions such as Post Traumatic Stress, depression and anxiety.
