Craniosacral therapy is designed to normalize the environment around the brain and spinal cord, enhancing the body's ability to self-correct.

This therapy is performed using light touch while the client if fully clothed lying on the massage table.
Craniosacral therapy uses the bones of the cranium and sacrum as "handles" to influence the contents of the brain and spinal chord, affecting the mobility and tensions of the dural system .

Developed by Dr. John Upledger, Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle and effective form of bodywork that uses a light touch to correct soft tissue restrictions and release stress or trauma from the body.
