What is Craniosacral Therapy?

Discovered in the 1890s by Dr William Sutherland, a discovery was made that our bones of the skull move in pairs. Why would they need to move? What is the purpose? A whole new system was discovered, the fluid system. Every cell, bone, muscle in our bodies were originally created in fluid. Starting as a embryo and then forming to grow into bones and more solid structures, the body always holds memory this memory, and possibly all memories. This is where the imprints begin.

Introduce life and the wonderful and some not so wonderful experiences that it can bring. If we can think of the body as the container we may begin to understand what can happen when the container becomes too full. Pain, anxiety, depression, personality traits or the ability to draw in the same experiences over and over again.

Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle way to work with the client in a partnership to help clear the client and understand how we operate through the nervous system and are quite often living in survival mode. Using touch with hands on the body we connect in with the bodies own intelligence system, the same one that created us from a tiny little embryo. As we listen very carefully to the client we work gently with certain holds to bring more space to the body so movement becomes possible again.
