Cranio-sacral therapy
Cranio-sacral therapists recognize health is an expression of life, an intrinsic
ordering force and a natural internal intelligence. Cranio-sacral Therapy is
a subtle form of healing that assists this natural bodily intelligence.
The human being is an immensely complex thing and requires an enormous amount
of internal organization. Cranio-sacral Therapy helps nurture these internal
ordering principles and helps increase physical vitality and well-being. Its
effects not only affect structural change, but also have a much wider set of
implications.
Natural movements of the bones of the skull were discovered by Dr William Sutherland
in the late 1800’s. These natural movements are rhythmic tidal motions in the
body and are a direct expression of the health of the system, inextricably linked
with not only physical health but also mental and emotional health.
By exploring and touching these tidal motions in the body Cranio-sacral therapists
can help promote change in areas of restriction. This restriction of movement
corresponds to a lack of the capacity of the life force to express its self-healing.
This absence of health may result in disease or a sense of something missing
or numbness.
Cranio-sacral therapists work to address issues in whatever way the client
wishes; physical aches and pains, acute and chronic disease, emotional or psychological
disturbances, or simply developing well-being, health and vitality.
Cranio-sacral Therapy is so gentle that it is suitable for babies, children,
and the elderly, as well as adults; and also in fragile or acutely painful conditions.
As a whole body therapy, treatment may aid almost every condition, raising the
vitality and enabling the body's own self-healing process to be utilized.
