What is Craniosacral Therapy?
Craniosacral Therapy is a gentle massage modality that uses no more than 5 grams of pressure to the body from head to toe. The goal of this therapy is to provide an assisting force to allow the body to make micro-adjustments to tissue. These adjustments bring the body back into its optimal state of function.
During a session, the therapist focuses on using their hands and perception of the body’s electromagnetic fields to find the most appropriate path of treatment. This gentle hands-on therapy brings balance to the cerebrospinal fluid channels that run from inside the brain, down the spinal cord, and to the sacrum or tailbone portion of the spine.
Many parents seek our Craniosacral for their children whose overall health is suffering or for specific symptoms their child may be experiencing. Some of the symptoms Child Craniosacral can help with include concentration or focus, sleep, digestion difficulties, emotional or behavioral issues, ear infections, injury, headaches, movement limitations, or learning disabilities.
At Austin Community Wellness, we have spent years researching this treatment. Dr. Sarah and Shane’s healing strategy always includes bringing balance back to the body so that you leave here functioning optimally in order to live your best life.
