Cranial Sacral Therapy
"Cranial Sacral Therapy is a gentle, subtle method of profound healing that encourages the release of tensions throughout the body, including your central nervous system and autonomic nervous system, restoring it to a state of balance, harmony and tone."
Cranial Sacral Therapy is becoming known as the gentlest and most powerful of physical therapies. It uses the lightest of touch for assessment and treatment of pain and dysfunction in the body. Its gentle manipulative techniques on the skull and vertebrae balances the circulation of the liquid that surrounds the brain, thus improving the brain and spinal cord's ability to dissipate the negative effects of stress.
An injury, stress or disease causes tissues to contract, thus placing strain on the body, which over time can create an imbalance therefore we might experience fatigue, pain or other manifestations of stress. What Cranial Sacral Therapy can do is release the twists and strains held in the soft tissues of the body and bring the body back into a relaxed natural state, the way it's intended to be.
The Cranio Sacral system is comprised of the membranes and cerebrospinal fluid which form the fluid-filled sac around the core of the nervous system - surrounding, nourishing, and protecting the brain and spinal cord.
Like the pulse of the cardiovascular system, the CranioSacral system has a rhythm that can be felt throughout the body. Using very gentle touch, Linda monitors this rhythm to pinpoint the source of an obstruction or stress held within the different areas of the body. Once a source has been determined, using energy, intention and her own natural intuitition Linda can assist the natural movement of the fluid and related soft tissue to help the body self-correct. This simple action is often all it takes to remove a restriction.
Cranial Sacral Therapy may be combined with other complementary therapies to help restore the body to it's optimum functioning level. It is very beneficial when used in conjunction with Sound Therapy.
Session Length varies from 60 min, 90min, 120min depending on the presenting problem or injury. Linda will assess and evaluate with a detailed consultation to determine what therapy is best for you.
