Craniosacral
Craniosacral techniques are about listening and being present with the rhythms with in the body. As our body creates and moves cerebrospinal fluid through our central nervous system it creates a pattern of movement that can be felt with gentle touch anywhere in the body. When there is disharmony or a fulcrum of restriction in the body it can be felt through a disruption in this natural flow. Craniosacral can be used as an assessment tool or also a treatment to facilitate harmony in the body.
Craniosacral rhythm is gentle but powerful at promoting ease in the body. It can have a dramatic affect in strengthening our parasympathetic nervous system and calming our body and mind. I use induction techniques to encourage or strengthen certain patterns. If that doesn’t help then I use gentle mobilization techniques to help encourage change. Sometimes I will assess the craniosacral rhythm and then do myofascial release to facilitate healing.
