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.

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.

During a Craniosacral Therapy session, you’ll lie fully clothed on a comfortable massage table.

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.
