Cranial Therapy
Cranial Therapy is a fantastic treatment for babies because it is so gentle.
A light touch is used to release tensions deep in the baby’s body and around their craniosacral system i.e. the membranes and fluid that surround, protect and nourish the brain and spinal cord. It is great for relieving pain, colic, reflux and improving the whole-body health of babies. Relieving tensions in the central nervous system promotes a feeling of well-being by eliminating pain and boosting health and immunity. Cranial therapy is not just for babies but can be used with adults too to treat a wide variety of conditions.
Cranial Therapy
Cranial therapy is a part of osteopathic medicine and in modern times it is often referred to as craniosacral therapy. As a practice it enhances the function of the Autonomic Nervous System, which consists of the sympathetic and parasympathetic systems. The body constantly seeks balance in order to heal and repair. Cranial therapy facilitates this by tapping into the parasympathetic system. In other words calming the body’s system down and taking it out of the sympathetic nervous system’s mode of being, known as the “Fight or Flight”.
