There are few bodywork modalities that go as deep and heal on as many levels as Craniosacral Therapy. This work encourages the building of energy reserves and the re-patterning of trauma that gets held in the nervous system.
Stress negatively impacts the health of our system. The body responds to stress by contracting—this is how it protects itself. In time, the stress, tension or trauma is likely to become held in the body restricting healthy functioning.
Every cell in our body has the ability to express a rhythmic movement, or craniosacral motion. This motion is fundamental to life. There is a blueprint in our body, or a way our body is “intended” to be organized which may not necessarily correspond with how the client’s system is “shaped”. When held for a period of time, these “shapes” become layered by life experience and can cause pain or “dis-ease” in the body.
Through a gentle and noninvasive contact, the Craniosacral practitioner listens deeply with her hands and identifies how to support the areas that are blocked and have formed a contracted shape. The intention is to help access and restore the body’s rhythmic motion, which carries the essential forces for balance. In essence, getting back to the original blueprint of health.
