CranioSacral Therapy/Osteopathy for Adults Children &Newborn

The sessions for CranioSacral Therapy are often covered by most insurance companies.

The Roots of CranioSacral Therapy comes from the traditional branches of medicine lOsteopathy and were developed by Dr. John Upledger, the founder of the Upledger Institute International. This therapy addresses indications of pathology through gentle techniques.

The CranioSacral System is intricately linked to the Nervous, Musculoskeletal, Endocrine, Lymphatic, Vascular, Respiratory, and Immune Systems. The corrective actions employed in this therapy are non-intrusive and encourage our natural healing mechanisms to alleviate the negative effects of stress on our Central Nervous System. This treatment is beneficial for both adults and children, including newborns, especially if they experienced a difficult delivery. Performing CranioSacral Therapy on a newborn shortly after birth can potentially reduce a variety of issues that may not become apparent until the child reaches school age.

How is CranioSacral Therapy performed? A typical CranioSacral Therapy session involves :

The Client lying comfortably (fully clothed) face up on a massage table while the therapist uses very gentle palpations (weighing no more than 5 grams, about the weight of a penny) at various points on the body to identify and correct problems. The entire session usually lasts about one hour and is a gentle, relaxing experience.

Why should one seek CranioSacral Therapy? What conditions does it treat? Consider the human body as a tangled telephone cord that needs unwinding or a computer that requires a restart. CranioSacral Therapy has been shown to be effective for a range of medical conditions, including:
