What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is based on the work of Osteopath, Dr William Garner Sutherland, who developed a new approach to osteopathy known as the ‘Cranial Concept’ in the early 1900s. He discovered that the skull’s bones and the fluids which surround the brain have intrinsic movements. Their natural pulsations reveal different rhythms which influence the whole body and our health.
These rhythms can become restricted or inhibited in case of physical or emotional traumas, old or new injuries, stresses or strains. These blockages in the natural rhythmic movement can build up in our body and contribute to making us feel unwell and create different symptoms.
Using a light touch on the body, the therapist can detect these restrictions and help to release them so that the body can begin to heal itself, to restore health and balance.

Babies and Children
Birth can be one of the most stressful events of our lives, for both mum and baby. The systems are subjected to enormous forces, physicals and emotional. Although the baby’s head has remarkable ability to absorb these stresses, sometime the recovery is incomplete, especially if birth has been difficult.
As the child grows, retained birth trauma can lead to other problems. The CranioSacral practitioner may be able to identify if there are any remaining stresses and support a quicker recovery. Craniosacral therapy can help with:
Colic, reflux, feeding issues, constipation, unsettle, sleeping diffuculties and more
Can also help at a later stage for Children and Teens with Stress, Anxiety, Exams tension, ADHD, difficulty concentrating, help to regulate the nervous system and more.
