CRANIO-SACRAL
is a very gentle but deep physical modality
which impacts bony and muscular tissue as
well as lymph, blood and other fluid flow
in the body. It helps the parasympathetic
nervous system find relaxation and releases
tension throughout the body. This relaxation
and release allows the body to heal from acute
stressors and injuries as well as unwind older
patterns which may cause ongoing pain and/or
poor function. People of all ages benefit
from cranio-sacral: from newborn babies recovering
from a challenging delivery, to people who
have been in a motor vehicle accident, to
older folks with chronic pain.
