Craniosacral therapy is a gentle and effective manual treatment approach for the whole body including the cranium. It is very suitable for all ages from babies to the elderly and can effectively help to resolve many types of physical pain, and general health problems.
Craniosacral is based on the teachings of osteopathic physicians, A.T. Still, D.O. and W.G. Sutherland, D.O. and uses a subtle rhythm of the body to relieve stresses and strains that have accumulated in the body either recently or over many years.
