CranioSacral Therapy Services
What is cranioSacral therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a light touch therapy that releases tension in the body, improves the functioning of the central nervous system and therefore helps to reduce pain, dysfunction, stress, and increases overall well being.
The craniosacral system is the soft tissue and fluid that protects, nourishes and cleanses the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system). It is responsible for the production, reabsorbtion and circulation of craniosacral fluid. It is influenced by the nervous system, the muscoskeletal system, the respiratory system, the lymphatic system, the vascular system and the endocrine system. Tension or dysfunction in these systems may influence the craniosacral system, which in turn may affect the central nervous system.
I now offer appointments in Norwalk and Fairfield, CT doing CranioSacral Therapy – babies, infant, children and adults. I’m delighted to share that I have completed CranioSacral Therapy for conception, pregnancy and birthing and pleased to offer those treatments. I’m excited to add these new tools to my tool box to help those wanting to conceive, already pregnant and preparing to birth. Please contact me to schedule an appointment.
“After just one session, she felt noticeably calmer…”
This is the 12-year-old daughter of a friend of mine. Her mom brought her to me recently on a Sunday afternoon, as that was when they were available. The daughter is going through a rough time with some medical concerns, which have been making her anxious and affecting her sleep.
Since this was all new to her, I took the time to explain what I was doing during the session.
After just one session, she felt noticeably calmer, so much so that she told her sister it would be good for her to have a session.
How can cranioSacral therapy help me?
CranioSacral Therapy can help everyone by enhancing his or her physical and emotional well being. This happens because stresses and restrictions on the craniosacral system that reduce its performance efficiency can be removed.
An imbalance or dysfunction in the craniosacral system can cause sensory, motor and/or neurological dysfunction. Specific problems, such as accidents, trauma and infections can be addressed. Where there is a restriction, the body is less able to detoxify itself. Gentle techniques to release such restrictions enhance the body’s ability to heal itself, and to attain its optimal balance at any given time.
This kind of preventative treatment can reduce healthcare costs, because we are taking a proactive approach to our health and health care needs.
