Answers to common queries about our services and how we can assist you.

Is Craniosacral Therapy safe for everyone?

Yes, Craniosacral Therapy is considered safe for people of all ages, from newborns to the elderly. It is non-invasive and gentle, making it appropriate for individuals with various conditions. However, if you have a serious medical condition or injury, it’s always a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider before starting therapy.

What happens if I feel emotional during a Craniosacral Therapy session?

It is not uncommon to experience emotional release during a Craniosacral Therapy session. As the body relaxes and tension is released, emotions stored in the body can surface. This is a natural part of the healing process. If this happens, it’s important to allow yourself to feel and release these emotions. Your therapist is trained to support you during this process.

What should I expect during a Craniosacral Therapy session?

During a Craniosacral Therapy session, you’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table. The therapist will use light touch to assess the craniosacral rhythm and gently work on releasing any restrictions. Sessions typically last between 45 to 60 minutes, and you may feel deeply relaxed throughout.

How does Craniosacral Therapy differ from massage therapy?

While both therapies are hands-on, Craniosacral Therapy is much gentler and focuses on the craniosacral system, including the bones of the skull and spine. Massage therapy tends to be more focused on muscle tension and may involve deeper pressure, whereas CST works with the body’s subtle rhythms to release restrictions and promote healing.

Can I combine Craniosacral Therapy with other treatments or therapies?

 Yes, Craniosacral Therapy can be used alongside other treatments, such as physical therapy, chiropractic care, massage, or traditional medical treatments. It is non-invasive and complements other therapies, supporting overall health and well-being.

Can Craniosacral Therapy help with trauma recovery?

Yes, Craniosacral Therapy can be beneficial for individuals recovering from physical or emotional trauma. CST helps the body release stored tension and trauma that may be held in the fascia, muscles, or nervous system. It can support emotional healing and help individuals process and recover from past traumatic events.

Is Craniosacral Therapy effective for chronic pain?

Craniosacral Therapy can be highly effective for managing chronic pain, especially when the pain is related to tension, trauma, or stress. By addressing restrictions in the craniosacral system and releasing muscle and fascia tension, CST helps reduce pain and improve mobility in conditions like fibromyalgia, back pain, and joint pain.

How is Craniosacral Therapy different from other bodywork therapies?

Unlike other bodywork therapies that may use deep pressure or manipulation, Craniosacral Therapy is very gentle, using light touch to influence the flow of cerebrospinal fluid and release deep-seated tensions in the body. CST works more subtly with the body’s rhythms, making it ideal for those who prefer a softer approach.
