Craniosacral therapy, developed by American osteopath Dr William Sutherland in the early 1900s, is a subtle healing form which assists the body in its natural capacity to repair itself.

A typical craniosacral session will involve the patient lying (or sometimes sitting) fully-clothed on a treatment couch. The therapist makes contact by lightly placing their hands on the patients body and tuning in by ‘listening’ with their hands. Contact is made carefully so you should always feel at ease with the treatment.

Initial responses to craniosacral therapy usually include deep relaxation which often lasts for the duration of the session. Subsequent treatments allow this relaxation to extend to everyday life outside of the treatment times.

Craniosacral therapy can help with physical aches and pains, acute and chronic disease, emotional or psychological disturbances or simply help develop well-being and good general health.

Conditions which often respond well to craniosacral therapy include:

Accidental injury, Arthritis, Asthma, Autism, Back pain, Birth trauma, Bronchitis, Cerebral Palsy, Colic, Depression, Digestive problems, Drug withdrawal, Dyslexia, Exhaustion. Frozen shoulder, Hormonal imbalances, Hyperactivity, Immune system disorders, Insomnia, Lethargy, Menstrual pain, PMS, Migraine, Post-operative conditions, Sinusitis, Pregnancy: problems during & after, Sciatica, Spinal curvatures, Sports injuries, Stress-related illnesses, Visual disturbances, Tinnitus and middle ear problems and Whiplash injuries.

Craniosacral therapy is suitable for babies, children and the elderly as it is such a gentle treatment.
