CRANIOSACRAL THERAPY
Ed Edwards
What isCraniosacral therapy? Craniosacral Therapy (CST) is a subtle and profound healing form. In a typical craniosacral session, you will usually lie (or sometimes sit) fully-clothed on a treatment couch. The therapist will make contact by placing their hands lightly on your body and tuning in. The first thing you will probably notice is a sense of deep relaxation, which will generally last throughout the session. This release of tension often extends into everyday life. Sometimes the benefits are not immediately noticeable but become obvious on returning to a familiar environment. The work is often deeply moving and exhilarating.
Craniosacral therapy is a deeply relaxing and sometimes profound therapy, suitable for all ages including newly born babies.
It supports the body’s own innate healing abilities.
The client is fully clothed and either lies down or sits, and touch is always gentle.There is no manipulation, enabling deep relaxation during treatments.
The session is led by the physical and emotional needs of the client.
There are many conditions that Craniosacral therapy may help with due to the deeply relaxing nature of the therapy and the support for the body’s own healing powers.
Why not try CST, it might be just the therapy for you - as it was for me when I tried it 15 years ago.
