CranioSacral Therapy CranioSacral Therapy is a very safe, subtle, yet powerful healing technique. A very light touch is used & there are no manipulations. The body’s natural waves & rhythms are followed & it is so gentle that it is safe for babies, children & the elderly.
In the early 1900’s, Dr William Sutherland noticed that the edges of the cranial bones were shaped in a particular way to allow movement. At the time, the English & American medical professions believed that the bones of the adult skull were fused at their sutures & could not move at all. However, European schools of anatomy believed otherwise, particularly the Italian & the French. Dr Sutherland continued his research & discovered intrinsic movements within the cranium & tidal motions within the body.
The rhythmic cerebrospinal fluid movement is generated in the central axis of the body, to which all the other bones & the organ systems are connected. This motion, therefore, is transferred to & taken up by the more peripheral bones of the body, the connective tissue & all the organs. In this way, the movement of the cerebrospinal fluid affects the whole body. These movements can be monitored by the therapist & change can be facilitated in areas of restriction. CranioSacral Therapy can be used to treat –

When there is trauma to the body, it responds by setting up restrictions. These restrictions can be so deeply embedded within the body that it is impossible to reach them without using painful, invasive techniques, which often don’t work. The techniques of CranioSacral Therapy allow the therapist to reach deep, painful restrictions with just a gentle touch, bringing lasting relief where other therapies have failed.
In the 1970’s Dr John Upledger re-discovered the craniosacral rhythm. While assisting in a surgical operation, he was holding the dural membrane – the thick membrane surrounding the spinal cord. He could not stop the membrane from moving. It moved in a rhythm of 8-10 cycles per minute. Following this experience he began to search for the cause of this rhythmic movement. Dr Upledger, a professor of biomechanics, joined Michigan State University, where he led a research team of biophysicists, anatomists & other professionals to perfect the scientific basis for the craniosacral system, & how to alleviate chronic pain & dysfunction.
