Why I use Craniosacral Therapy CT for my clients

I love working with CT because it is gentle, powerful and effective in helping a strained biological structure to open up.

The body is an interwoven biological fabric; when one part is affected, the rest of the body will register that condition in some way. All that we think, do and feel is processed through our biological structures. When strained, its ability to work well and completely is often compromised, which can lead to health problems. Craniosacral Therapy lessens this strain so the biological network can work well again and we can heal.

What is CT and how does it work?

CT is a manual therapy, a type of bodywork that uses very light fingertip and hand pressure on the cranial bones, the sacrum and other areas such as feet or knees to relax and remobilize the tense fascia around the muscles. When the fascia relaxes, better circulation and nerve function are restored throughout the body. This therapy improves the structure of the body, especially the central nervous system.

While working with CT, I listen deeply to the body. I feel the body pulse open and close and get very still to help the person I’m working with to reach their still point. At that moment, the craniosacral breath can shift to an open, healthier rhythm. This is a gentle, but effective, deeply intuitive technique.
