What Can I Expect From a Craniosacral Therapy Session?
What Happens During Craniosacral Therapy?
Your therapist begins by gently touching various parts of your body to monitor the rhythm of the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system.
By carefully listening with the hands to locate areas of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, your practitioner can trace those areas of weakness through the body to the original source of dysfunction.
Delicate manual techniques are then used to release those problem areas and improve the form and function of your central nervous system.
How Long Does Craniosacral Therapy Last?
If you are looking for “craniosacral therapy near me” and would like to know how much time to allocate for this therapy, you should know that a craniosacral therapy session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or integrated with other therapies to create powerful effects.
What is the Environment for a Treatment Session?
A typical craniosacral therapy session takes place in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully clothed as you enter deep relaxation on a comfortable, padded table.
What Age Groups Can Receive Craniosacral Therapy?
Because it’s so gentle, CST can be effective for all ages—from newborns to elders.
What is Somato Emotional Release (SER)?
Somato Emotional Release (SER) is a therapeutic process that complements craniosacral therapy. It involves the practitioner helping the individual in releasing physical tension that is often related to emotional stress and trauma. SER is based on the understanding that emotions and memories can be stored in the body, manifesting as physical symptoms or blockages. Through gentle manual techniques and supportive dialogue, SER aims to help release these stored emotions, leading to a greater sense of well-being and balance in the body and mind.
What Are the Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy?
You endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. But your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system and nearly every other system in your body.
CST releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a gentle touch—starting with about the weight of a nickel—practitioners evaluate your internal environment. Then they use distinctive light-touch techniques to release any restrictions they find.
By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, CST naturally eliminates chronic pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and wellbeing.
There is an innate ability of the human body to heal itself. Craniosacral therapy involves facilitating or enhancing the body’s own natural capacity when trauma or disease becomes overwhelming for the system.
