What can I expect from a Craniosacral Therapy Session?

A typical session takes place in a quiet setting. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable treatment table.

The therapist begins by gently touching various parts of your body to evaluate the rhythm and motion of the craniosacral system. By carefully listening with the hands to the whole body your therapist can locate areas of restriction, in body tissues or fluid motion, for example, and trace their origin.

Delicate, precise and effective manual techniques are then used to help release any problem areas. While many techniques are carried out from the cranium and /or the sacrum, your therapist may also work on other parts of the body when that is relevant for you. Sometimes, the places where we experience 'symptoms' are not where the actual problem's roots are.

A session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or integrated with other therapies. What you experience from a treatment is highly individual and can be different each time. Typically, people report feelings of warmth, softening or pulsing in the areas the therapist is working on and generally, they feel deeply relaxed.
