Upledger Craniosacral Therapy
​     
       What Can I Expect From a Session?

A typical craniosacral therapy session takes place in a quiet, private setting. You remain fully clothed as you relax on a comfortable, padded table. Your therapist begins by gently touching various parts of your body to monitor the fluid that is flowing around your central nervous system. By careful palpation the therapist is able to tune in and 'listen'  to areas of weak fluid flow or tissue motion, allowing them to trace those areas to the original source of dysfunction. Delicate manual techniques are used to release those problem areas - improving form and function of your central nervous system. A craniosacral therapy session can last up to an hour or more. It can be used alone or it may be used with other therapies to create powerful effects. What you experience from your own session is highly individual. The sessions are generally deeply relaxing creating feelings of warmth or gentle pulsing in the areas where the therapist is working.

The Body is a Self-Correcting Mechanism

There is an innate ability of the human body to heal itself. Some practitioners refer to it as the Inner Physician.When the skin is lacerated, this self-correcting mechanism re-sponds with an elaborate process to close the skin. Immune responses are also indicative of the body's self healing abilities. Craniosacral therapy involves facilitating or enhancing the body's own natural capacity when traumatic or disease processes become overwhelming for the system.

Why Is Craniosacral Therapy Important?
​

     Craniosacral therapy is a light touch approach that can create dramatic improvements in your life. It releases tensions deep in the body to release pain and dysfunction and improves whole-body health and performance. Few body structures have more influence over your health and well-being than your central nervous system. And few body structures have more impact on your central nervous system than the craniosacral - the soft tissues and fluid that protect your brain and spinal cord. 
       You endure stresses and strains and your body absorbs them. But your body can only handle so much tension before the tissues begin to tighten and potentially affect the brain and spinal cord. Unfortunately, this can compromise the function of the central nervous system and nearly every other system of your body. Craniosacral therapy releases those tensions to allow the entire body to relax and self-correct. Using a gentle touch- starting with about the weight of a nickel-practitioners evaluate your internal environment. They then use distinctive light-touch techniques to release any restrictions they find. By freeing the central nervous system to perform at its best, craniosacral therapy naturally eliminates pain and stress, strengthens your resistance to disease, and enhances your health and well-being. And because its so gentle, craniosacral can be effective for all ages, from newborns to elders. (We are currently not treating children under the age of 9 until we successfully complete the Upledger CS2 training)
