Cranial sacral therapy (also known as craniosacral therapy) is a non-invasive gentle form of bodywork that relieves compression in the bones of the head, sacrum, and spinal column. With the use of gentle pressure on the head, neck, and back, it helps to relieve the stress and pain caused by compression. It can help treat a number of conditions including migraines, headaches, sinus infections, neck pain, and anxiety or depression, among others. According to Healthline.com, it’s thought that through the gentle manipulation of the bones in the skull, spine, and pelvis, the flow of cerebrospinal fluid in the central nervous system can be normalized. This removes “blockages” from the normal flow, which enhances the body’s ability to heal. Nicole, one of our new massage therapists, says she utilizes it in all her massages because of its benefits and is one of the best and most relaxing massages she’s ever had.
