Craniosacral Therapy
Craniosacral therapy and osteopathy are popular alternative healing methods that focus on supporting the body’s natural healing processes. Both therapies aim to release restrictions within the craniosacral system and improve the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, which is vital for overall health. Craniosacral therapy primarily focuses on the gentle manipulation of the spine, skull, and sacrum to restore balance and relieve tension, using light touch to enhance mobility in the cranial and spinal areas.
