What Is Craniosacral Therapy?

Craniosacral therapy, sometimes called cranial sacral therapy, is a gentle technique that helps relieve pressure in and around the central nervous system. It is designed to relax compressions in bones and joints in the sacrum, spine, and head. This noninvasive massage, osteopathic, chiropractic, and physical therapy technique involves manipulating these bony areas to increase or balance the flow of cerebrospinal fluid.

The client is fully clothed during the session, as the massage therapist or other practitioner places light pressure on specific areas around the body. Usually, the client lies face-up on a massage table. Craniosacral therapy is used for a wide variety of conditions and injuries.

Benefits of Craniosacral Therapy

By improving central nervous system function, craniosacral therapy can affect other bodily systems, including musculoskeletal, circulatory, and respiratory systems. This therapy can help alleviate many symptoms and conditions, including:

  • Stress and anxiety
  • Chronic pain
  • Neck, back, and shoulder pain
  • Chronic fatigue and fibromyalgia
  • Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
  • Migraines and tension headaches
  • Scoliosis and spinal cord injuries
  • Temporomandibular joint syndrome (TMJ)
  • Sleep disorders and disturbances
  • Sinus infections
  • Constipation
  • Trauma recovery, including whiplash
  • Neurodegenerative diseases
  • Neuralgia
  • Stroke
  • Epilepsy

Craniosacral therapy can be used in conjunction with other massage treatments and as part of medical care plans to help clients and patients who are experiencing pain or recovering from injuries. It is a worthwhile technique to incorporate into your massage therapy practice.
