Cranio-Sacral Therapy

Service Description

Cranio-Sacral Therapy is a wonderful therapy that was developed as a consequence of the work of Dr William G Sutherland, the pioneer of Cranial Osteopathy. I trained with the Upledger Institute, which practises the therapy as developed by Dr John Upledger. It involves very light touch and extremely gentle pressure, but this is sufficient to enable your body to respond in a way that induces self-healing. It is non-invasive and can be extremely effective in helping with all sorts of ailments (see list below). It is becoming more recognised that a gentle approach is what a body wants; when a very strong pressure is applied, the body tends to react, protect and resist, whereas a gentle touch enables it to help heal itself. This therapy is not, in any way, restricted to just the cranium (skull) or sacrum (lower area of back) as the name might suggest. It can work on absolutely any part of your body. What can it help with? Chronic pain – anywhere in your body Reduced mobility Low energy Headaches and migraines Jaw (temporomandibular joint) problems Neuralgia (including trigeminal) Learning difficulties e.g. dyslexia & dyscalcula Menstrual and menopausal problems Clumsiness
