Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle technique that can help relieve tension in the soft tissues surrounding the brain and spine. This technique decreases pain, decreases dysfunction, and improves health. Using a soft touch, your physical therapist or occupational therapist will release tightness in the soft tissues that surround the nervous system. By normalizing the environment around the brain and spinal cord and enhancing the body’s ability to self-correct, Craniosacral Therapy is able to assist a wide variety of dysfunctions. This technique is best used to increase the calming response of the nervous system to assist the healing process.
Many people can benefit from Craniosacral Therapy, including (but not limited to) patients who have: concussions, traumatic brain injuries, migraines, headaches, chronic neck pain, chronic back pain, stress, motor-coordination impairments, temporomandibular joint (TMJ) dysfunction, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), chronic pain, strokes, vestibular issues, tooth pain, pain throughout the face from trauma, and anxiety.
