Craniosacral TherapyCraniosacral Therapy is a gentle method of releasing restrictions in the central nervous system in order to enhance wellness and improve resistance to disease. The technique was developed by Dr. John Upledger, an internationally-recognized osteopathic physician and member of the Advisory Council for the National Institutes of Health, Office of Alternative Medicine. Both Daniel and Claire trained at The Upledger Institute where their mentor was Bruno Chickly, M.D., prominent lymphatic system clinician and research scientist.
This hands-on approach focuses on the craniosacral system, a circuit of membranes filled with cerebrospinal fluid which envelops the brain and the entire length of the spinal cord. "Craniosacral" refers to the cranium (the structure surrounding the brain) and the sacrum (the five vertebrae which form the back wall of the pelvis). When the body is functioning optimally, cerebrospinal fluid moves continuously through this area (the dural tube) in a slow, rhythmic wave; restrictions in the flow cause disruptions in the rhythm, accumulation of toxins, and a multitude of symptoms.
Craniosacral Therapy is a safe, relaxing way to relieve the restrictions, balance the rhythm, and synchronize the body and mind. It calms the central nervous system and balances emotions, strengthens the immune system, reduces pain and fatigue, and prevents disease.
