How is CranioSacral Therapy performed?
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 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.
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.

The Craniosacral Therapy practitioner uses a light touch – generally no more than the weight of a nickel – to test for restrictions in the Craniosacral system. This is done by monitoring the rhythm of the cerebrospinal fluid as it flows through the system. While experienced clinicians can detect that motion anywhere on your body, they can most easily feel it at the skull, sacrum and coccyx. These bones attach to the membranes that enclose the cerebrospinal fluid. The positive effects of Craniosacral Therapy rely to a large extent on your body’s natural self-corrective activities, The therapist’s light, hands-on approach simply assists the hydraulic forces inherent in the Craniosacral system to improve your body’s internal environment – and strengthen its ability to heal itself.
