How is CranioSacral Therapy performed?
CranioSacral Therapy is a gentle, non-invasive manipulative technique. Seldom does the therapist apply pressure in excess of five grams or the equivalent weight of a British 20p piece. Examination is done by testing for movement in various parts of the system. Often, when testing is completed, the restriction has been removed and the system is able to self-correct. Trained therapists are able to palpate the motion of the craniosacral system anywhere on the body.
A CranioSacral Therapy session consists of the client being lying supine comfortably (fully clothed) on a massage table facing up. What follows is a set of multiple very gentle palpations weighting no more than 5 grams (the weight of a penny) in various points on the body , in order to identify and correct the problems. The whole session takes usually 1 hour and is a very gentle and relaxing experience.
It is performed by a person trained specifically in the methods of detecting cranioSacral rhythm and specific locations of connective tissue regions most helpful to release the entire system. Using a light touch, generally no more than the weight of a nickel, the practitioner monitors the flow of the rhythm to detect potential restrictions and imbalances. The therapist then uses delicate manual techniques to release those problem areas that surface, which in turn reduces undue pressure upon the brain and spinal cord / spinal nerves. A CranioSacral Therapy session can last from about 15 minutes to more than an hour. The client, if able, is invited to lay on a treatment table in a comfortable position while the therapist performs the techniques. In the cases of wiggly children, the skilled therapist will engage their interest or be able to move around with them until they can settle into accepting the treatment.

A CranioSacral therapy session can last from about 30 minutes to 1 1/2 hours or more, however the typical session is performed in a one hour session. First time clients are always scheduled for 1 1/2 hours. Sometimes the initial session is enough to correct a problem, or a series of sessions are arranged once an evaluation is made.
