Craniosacral Therapy Naturopaths
What is craniosacral therapy?
Craniosacral therapy is an alternative therapy modality that utilizes gentle touch and massage to the skull, spine, and pelvis to promote healing. It is often used as a modality to treat conditions like migraines, chronic pain, and stress. It differs from traditional massage therapy due to its focus on the head and spine, specifically, and is thought to work through the rebalancing of cerebral spinalfluid—which bathes the brain and spinal cord—rather than in the alleviation of tight muscles and joints. While there is limited clinical data on the efficacy of craniosacral therapy in eliminating neurologic conditions on its own, its generally gentle and noninvasive approach makes it an attractive adjunct treatment option for individuals looking for potential additional treatment options and/or those who have not found success with other interventions for their pain.
