Craniosacral therapy is a gentle treatment, which involves a practitioner applying very light touch to the body. The craniosacral system consists of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid that surround and protect the brain and spinal cord. It extends from the bones of the skull, face and mouth that make up the cranium, down the spine to the sacrum and tailbone area. Practitioners believe that imbalances and restrictions in the flow of cerebrospinal fluid reflect physical, mental, emotional or psychological injuries and tensions anywhere in the body. The aim of treatment is to encourage the body’s own healing process.
