Every person has experienced situations in their life that can create physical and/or emotional restrictions in the body. These can include the birth process, taking a hit on the high school football field, car accidents, the loss of a loved one or just daily stress. Restrictions created by each of these incidents in and of itself may not cause symptoms for you. However, the accumulation of these restrictions over time can reduce your body's ability to maintain the status quo without symptoms. You may have pain, less resiliency to illness, or decreased ability to maintain a state of emotional balance.

     Craniosacral therapy is a manual therapy that supports your body's self healing abilities. Surrounding your brain and spinal cord is a system of bones, membranes and fluid called the craniosacral system. It provides structure, functional support and protection for your central nervous system. The bones provide structure and protection.  The membranes line the bones and create a waterproof, tadpole shaped sac around the brain and spinal cord. This sac contains the cerebrospinal fluid that lubricates, cushions, feeds and detoxifies the central nervous system.  Together, they provide the environment that supports your nervous system operating effectively. When there are restrictions between the bones and in the membranes, impaired function and pain can result. Using light touch, the therapist gently helps your body remove those restrictions so that you feel better and function better.
