Craniosacral Therapy

We’re all familiar with the body's cardiac rhythm (heartbeat) and respiratory rhythm (breathing). Yet there is a third and equally important rhythm known as the craniosacral rhythm that results from the increase/ decrease in the volume of cerebrospinal fluid within and around the craniosacral system.

  
The craniosacral system is comprised of the brain and spinal cord (the central nervous system); the cerebrospinal fluid that bathes the brain and spinal cord; the surrounding meninges (membranes) that enclose the brain, spinal cord, and cerebrospinal fluid; and the bones of the spine and skull that house these membranes.  Craniosacral therapy manipulates the bones of the skull to treat a range of conditions, from headache and ear infection to stroke, spinal cord injury, and cerebral palsy.
